John Inglis

alt=In the adjoining church yard, rest the mortal remains of the Right Reverend John Inglis DD, Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia, who departed this life on the 27th of October AD 1850 in the 73rd year of his age. John Inglis (9 December 1777 – 27 October 1850) was the third bishop of the Diocese of Nova Scotia, serving at St. Paul's Church (Halifax). He was the son of Bishop Charles Inglis. He is buried at St Mary's Church, Battersea, England.

Life John Inglis was ordained a deacon December 13, 1801 by Bishop Charles Inglis, his father. On 27 June 1802 he was ordained a priest.

John was appointed as official secretary and as ecclesiastical commissary to his father. This involved a number of trips to England on behalf of the diocese. These trips also enhanced his own career and brought focus on his talents. However, his relative inexperience and the overtones of nepotism did not allow his promotion in 1812 when the bishop was seriously incapacitated.

Supreme Court Lawsuit Inglis was an 1826 challenger to the will of his distant cousin Captain Robert Richard Randall; the will as written created Sailors' Snug Harbor, a home for decrepit seamen. This legal challenge reached the United States Supreme Court ; following the second Trump Administration's efforts to end birthright citizenship via executive order, this case was cited in public discourse .
