See also:BOWEN, See also:CHARLES SYNGE See also:CHRISTOPHER BOWEN, See also:BARON (1835—1894) , See also:English See also:judge, was See also:born on the 1st of See also:January 1835, at Woolaston in See also:Gloucestershire, his See also:father, the Rev. Christopher Bowen of Hollymount, Co. See also:Mayo, being then See also:curate of the See also:parish. He was educated at See also:Lille, See also:Blackheath and See also:Rugby See also:schools, leaving the latter with a Balliol scholarship in 1853. At See also:- OXFORD

Oxford he made See also:good the promise of his earlier youth, winning the See also:principal classical scholarships and prizes of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time. He was made a See also:fellow of Balliol in 1858. From Oxford Bowen went to See also:London, where he was called to the See also:bar at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn in 1861, and while studying See also:law he wrote regularly for the Saturday See also:Review, and also later for the Spectator. For a time he had little success at the bar, and came near to exchanging it for the career of a See also:college See also:tutor, but he was induced by his See also:friends, who recognized his talents, to persevere. Soon after he had begun to make his See also:mark he was briefed against the claimant in the famous " Tichborne See also:Case." Bowen's services to his See also:leader, See also:Sir See also:John See also:Coleridge, helped to procure for him the See also:appointment of junior counsel to the See also:treasury when Sir John had passed, as he did while the trial proceeded, from the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of See also:solicitor-See also:general to that of See also:attorney-general; and from this time his practice became a very large one. The See also:strain, however, of the Tichborne trials had been See also:great, so that his See also:physical See also:health became unequal to the tasks which his zeal for See also:work imposed upon it, and in 1879 his See also:acceptance of a judgeship in the See also:queen's See also:bench See also:division, on the retirement of Mr See also:Justice Mellor, gave him the opportunity of See also:comparative See also:rest. The See also:character of Charles Bowen's See also:intellect hardly qualified him for some of the duties of a See also:puisne judge; but it was otherwise when, in 1882, in See also:succession to See also:Lord Justice Holker, he was raised to the See also:court of See also:appeal. As a lord justice of appeal he was conspicuous for his learning, his See also:industry and his See also:courtesy to all who appeared before him; and in spite of failing health he was able to sit more or less regularly until See also:August 1893, when, on the retirement of Lord See also:Hannen, he was made a lord of appeal in See also:ordinary, and a baron for See also:life, with the See also:title of Baron Bowen of Colwood.
By this time, however, his health had finally broken down; he never sat as a law lord to hear appeals, and he gave but one See also:vote as a peer, while his last public service consisted in presiding over the See also:commission which sat in See also:October 1893 to inquire into the See also:Featherstone riots. He died on the loth of See also:April 1894.
Lord Bowen was regarded with great See also:affection by all who knew him either professionally or privately. He had a polished and graceful wit, of which many instances might be given, although such anecdotes lose force in See also:print. For example, when it was suggested on the occasion of an address to Queen See also:Victoria, to be presented by her See also:judges, that a passage in it, " conscious as we are of our shortcomings," suggested too great humility, he proposed the emendation "conscious as we are of one another's shortcomings "; and on another occasion he defined a jurist as "a See also:person who knows a little about the See also:laws of every See also:country except his own." Lord Bowen's judicial reputation will rest upon the See also:series of judgments delivered by him in the court ofappeal, which are remarkable for their lucid See also:- INTERPRETATION (from Lat. interpretari, to expound, explain, inter pres, an agent, go-between, interpreter; inter, between, and the root pret-, possibly connected with that seen either in Greek 4 p4'ew, to speak, or irpa-rrecv, to do)
interpretation of legal principles as applied to the facts and business of life. Among good examples of his See also:judgment may be cited that given in advising the See also:House of Lords in See also:Angus v. See also:Dalton (6 App. Cas. 740), and those delivered in Abrath v. See also:North Eastern Railway (11 Q.B.D. 440); See also:- THOMAS
