Jackson, Revd William (1737–95), Dublin‐born Church of Ireland clergyman turned radical journalist. In April 1795 Jackson returned from France to Ireland to sound out responses to a possible invasion, unaware that his travelling companion, John Cockayne, was a government spy. His conversations with leading Irish radicals provided evidence sufficient to send Tone into exile and to help justify the suppression of the Dublin United Irishmen. Arrested and tried for treason, Jackson committed suicide by poison while in the dock.
