Sir John Colbatch (d. 1729) was an English apothecary and in that capacity practised for some time in Worcester, of the companies of apothecaries and mercers of which city he was a freeman. Bringing proof of his disfranchisement, dated 23 May, 1696, he was examined, and admitted as a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians on 22 December, 1696. He was a knighted by George I on 5 June, 1716, and died at an advanced age 15 January, 1729. He was a voluminous writer, but not of the highest class, as evidenced by the following verse:
When the enervate aim
Beyond their force, they still contend for shame;
Had Colbatch printed nothing of his own
He had not been the Saffold o' the town;
Asses and owls, unseen, their kind betray
If these attempt to hoot, or those to bray.— Samuel Garth, The Dispensary, Canto I.
