- Robert (Bob) Johnson (1745–1833) was an Irish barrister, politician and judge. He sat in the Irish House of Commons and was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland). In 1803 he published a number of attacks on various members of the Irish Government in the form of a series of letters written under the pseudonym "Juverna". The letters caused a major scandal, and after some delay, Johnson was identified as the author. He was prosecuted after a further delay and convicted of seditious libel. He was spared a prison sentence but forced to resign from the Bench, and retired into private life, where he continued his feud with the Dublin administration. His motives for writing the Juverna letters are unclear, although he had made a similar anonymous attack on a senior Irish judge, Christopher Robinson, in 1779. (en)
