DILLON, John Blake, born in Mayo, Ireland, in 1814; died in Killiney, Ireland, in 1866. He studied for the priesthood in the Royal College of Maynooth, and for the law at Trinity College, Dublin, where he made the acquaintance of the young men that afterward formed the Young heland party. He was a member and auditor of the Historical society. In 1842 he was called to the bar, and shortly afterward took part in establishing the "Nation" newspaper. He was opposed to an insurrection, but felt bound in honor to follow Smith O'Brien in 1848. After the failure of this attempt he escaped to the Arran islands, where the peasants protected him, although a large reward was offered for his capture. He went to France, and thence to the United States, and was admitted to the bar in New York. In 1852 he returned to Ireland, and in 1865 was elected a member of the British parliament, where he defended the interests of his country up to his death.
