# John Littlechild

Detective Chief Inspector John George Littlechild (21 December 1848 – 2 January 1923) was the first commander of the London Metropolitan Police Special Irish Branch, renamed Special Branch in 1888.
Littlechild was born in Royston, Hertfordshire. By 1871, he was a Detective Sergeant. He was promoted to Detective Inspector in 1878.
The Special Irish Branch was formed in 1883. It was technically under the command of Detective Chief Inspector Adolphus Williamson, but since he was also responsible for the whole Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Littlechild, as his deputy, was always in effective control. Although he is not thought to have had any direct involvement in the Jack the Ripper investigation, in September 1913 he wrote a letter to journalist G. R. Sims, in which he identified a "Doctor T" (whom he described as "an American quack named Tumblety") as a likely suspect.
Littlechild was promoted to Detective Chief Inspector in 1891. He resigned from the Met in 1893 and worked as a private investigator. He worked for the prosecution in the Oscar Wilde case. In November 1902 he served divorce papers on Arthur Reginald Baker, who days later was murdered by his lover Kitty Byron.

# John Philippart

John Philippart (1784?–1874) was a British military writer.
Born in London about 1784, Philippart was educated at a military academy, and was subsequently placed in the office of a Scottish solicitor. His inclinations, however, tended more to military than to legal studies. In 1809 he became private secretary to John Baker-Holroyd, 1st Baron (later 1st Earl of) Sheffield, the President of the Board of Agriculture, and two years later he was appointed a clerk in the War Office. He proposed, in pamphlets issued in 1812 and 1813, the establishment of a benefit fund for officers, an idea suggested by Colonel D. Roberts. The scheme was supported by persons of influence in the profession, but it failed owing to the fear on the part of ministers that such a combination might weaken the discipline of the army. Philippart also suggested, in a further pamphlet, a means of rendering the militia available for foreign service, and part of his plan was adopted by Lord Castlereagh. Philippart was one of the body of members of the order of St. John of Jerusalem, or knights-hospitallers, who contributed to the revival of the English langue.
He was elected a knight of St. John of Jerusalem on 11 November 1830, chevalier of justice in 1831, and bailiff ad honores in 1847. He was chancellor of the order for forty-three years, and outlived all the knights who had revived the English langue except the Chevalier Philippe de Chastelain. His interest in the duties of a knight-hospitaller induced him to aid in founding in 1856 the West London Hospital, which was originally called the Fulham and Hammersmith General Dispensary. He was honorary treasurer of the institution from 1856 to 1861, and an active member of the committee from that date until his death. He was created a knight of the Swedish orders of Gustavus Vasa and of the Polar Star in 1832. He died at his residence, College House, Church Lane, Hammersmith, in 1874.
Philippart was an industrious compiler of many books of reference relating to the army. From October 1812 to September 1814 he owned and edited a journal called The Military Panorama. In 1813 he published his Northern Campaigns, from ... 1812 ... June 4, 1813, with an appendix, containing all the Bulletins issued by the French Ruler, in two volumes. To the same class belong his Royal Military Calendar, containing the Services of every general officer ... in the British Army ... and Accounts of the Operations of the Army under Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Murray on the Eastern Coast of Spain in 1812–13, London, 3 volumes 1815–16, and The East India Military Calendar, 1823.
Among other works by Philippart were Memoirs of the Prince Royal of Sweden, 1813; Memoirs of General Moreau, &c., London, 1814; General Index to the first and second series of Hansard's Parliamentary Debates, London, 1834; Memoir of ... Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn and volume II of Queen Victoria, from her Birth to her Bridal, London, 1840.
The publisher Henry Colburn employed Philippart as editor of the Naval and Military Gazette from its first issue, and of the United Service Magazine after its relaunch in 1842.

# John Serson

John Serson (died 1744) was an English sea captain best known for his invention of a "whirling speculum". This was an early form of artificial horizon designed for marine navigation, consisting of a mirror, attached to a spinning top, that attempted to remain in a horizontal plane despite the movement of the ship. This device can be seen as a precursor to the gyroscope used in modern inertial navigation, although it was not itself a gyroscope.
Serson was lost at sea on HMS Victory in 1744.
# John Servopoulos

John Servopoulos (fl. 1484–1500) was a Greek scribe and scholar. Few details are known about of his life. He was originally from Constantinople but from at least 1484 he was living in England where he copied Greek manuscripts for a living. From 1489 he was apparently working from the abbey of Reading and he was active there until at least 1500. Some of his manuscripts may have been destined for students or teachers at the nearby University of Oxford. William Grocyn, who worked as an English scholar, owned several of his manuscripts and so was probably one of his patrons.

In 1736 he was presented to the rectory of St Vedast Foster Lane; he accompanied the king to Hanover at his personal request. His knowledge of German had commended him to the king, who liked him, and refused to quarrel with him for having dined at Cliefden with Frederick, Prince of Wales.
