Viewing Earnest Hartley Coleridge, "Life & Correspondence of John Duke Lord Coleridge, Lord Chief Justice of England" Volume 2 (1904).Earnest Hartley Coleridge, "Life & Correspondence of John Duke Lord Coleridge, Lord Chief Justice of England" Volume 2 (1904).The second volume of Ernest Hartley Coleridge's biography of Chief Justice Coleridge covers his judicial career from 1873 to 1894. But Chapters 6 & 7 may interest to some readers. Chapter 6 describes his involvement in "two great cases" that established his position at the bar while Chapter 7 gives a short account of his prosecution as Solicitor General in the Tichborne case, which was, aside from Queen Caroline's divorce, the "most celebrated cause in the nineteenth century." Coleridge's cross examination of the claimant and summation took 26 days. |
