Robert Hellen

Robert Hellen (born 1725, died 1793 in Donnybrook, Dublin)[1][2] was an Irish politician, Solicitor-General, and judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland).

He was born at Whitehaven, Cumberland, son of Robert Hellen senior.

He was appointed as Solicitor-General in 1777, and a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1779.

When young he was described rather sentimentally as "a youth of fair fame and gentle endowments".

[6] In later life he was noted for his literary tastes: he enjoyed the company of poets and writers like Charlotte Brooke, and built up an impressive library and picture collection.
