HENRY See also:HAWKINS, See also:BARON (1817-1907) , See also:English See also:judge, was See also:born at See also:Hitchin, on the 14th of See also:September 1817. He received his See also:education at See also:Bedford school. The son of a See also:solicitor, he was See also:early familiarized with legal principles. Called to the See also:bar at the See also:Middle See also:Temple in 1843, he at once joined the old See also:home See also:circuit, and after enjoying a lucrative practice as a junior, took See also:silk in 1859. His name is identified with many of the famous trials of the reign of See also:Queen See also:Victoria. He was engaged in the See also:Simon See also:Bernard See also:case (of the See also:Orsini See also:plot celebrity), in that of Roupell v. See also:Waite, and in the Overend-See also:Gurney prosecutions. The two causes celebres, however, in which Hawkins attained his highest legal distinction were the Tichborne trials and the See also:great will case of Sugden v. See also:Lord St Leonards. In both of these he was victorious. In the first his masterly See also:cross-examination of the See also:witness Baigent was one of the great featuresof the trial. He did a lucrative business in references and arbitrations, and acted for the royal commissioners in the See also:purchase of the site for the new See also:law courts. See also:election petitions also formed another See also:branch of his extensive practice.
Hawkins was raised to the See also:bench in 1876, and was assigned to the then See also:exchequer See also:division of the High See also:Court, not as baron (an appellation which was being abolished by the Judicature See also:Act), but with the See also:title of See also:Sir Henry Hawkins. He was a great See also:advocate rather than a great lawyer. His searching See also:voice, his manner, and the variety of his facial expression, gave him an enormous See also:influence with juries, and as a cross-examiner he was seldom, if ever, surpassed. He was an excellent judge in See also:chambers, where he displayed a clear and vigorous grasp of details and questions of fact. His knowledge of the criminal law was extensive and intimate, the reputation he gained as a " See also:hanging " judge making him a terror to evil-doers; and the court for See also:crown cases re-served was never considered See also:complete without his assistance. In 1898 he retired from the bench, and was raised to the See also:peerage under the title of Baron Brampton. He frequently took See also:part in determining See also:House of Lords appeals, and his judgments were distinguished by their lucidity and 'grasp. He held for many years 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 counsel to the See also:Jockey See also:Club, and as an active member of that See also:body found relaxation from his legal and judicial duties at the leading See also:race meetings, and was considered a capable judge of horses. In 1898 he was received into the See also:Roman See also:Catholic See also:- CHURCH
