His See also:father, See also:collector of customs at St See also:Vincent's, was the son of a Saxon See also:gentleman who had migrated to England and become secretary to Lord See also:Rockingham, and was the See also:brother of See also:Sir Frederic Thesiger, See also:naval A.D.C. to See also:Nelson at See also:Copenhagen. See also:Young Frederic Thesiger was originally destined for a naval
career, and he served as a See also:midshipman on See also:board the " See also:Cambrian " See also:frigate in 1807 at the second See also:bombardment of Copenhagen.

Another See also:change of See also:fortune, however, awaited him, for a See also:volcano destroyed the See also:family estate, and he was thrown back upon his prospect of a legal practice in the West Indies. He proceeded to enter at See also:- GRAY

He accordingly joined the See also:home See also:circuit, and soon got into See also:good practice at the See also:Surrey sessions, while he also made a fortunate See also:purchase in buying the right to appear in the old See also:palace See also:court (see LORD STEWARD). In 1824 he distinguished himself by his See also:defence of See also:Joseph See also:Hunt when on his trial at See also:Hertford with See also:John Thurtell for the See also:murder of Wm. Weare; and eight years later at Chelmsford assizes he won a hard-fought See also:action in an See also:ejectment See also:case after three trials, to which he attributed so much of his subsequent success that when he was raised to the See also:peerage he assumed the See also:title Lord Chelmsford. In 1834 he was made See also:- KING

In 1844 he became See also:solicitor-See also:general, but having ceased to enjoy the favour of the See also:duke of See also:Marlborough, lost his seat for See also:Wood-stock and had to find another at See also:Abingdon.

During this See also:period he enjoyed a very large practice at the See also:bar, being employed in many causes celebres. On Lord See also:Derby coming into 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 ")

In the following See also:year Lord Derby resigned and his See also:cabinet was broken up. Again in 1866, on Lord Derby coming into office for the third time, Lord Chelmsford became lord chancellor for a See also:short period. In 1868 Lord Derby retired, and Disraeli, who took his See also:place as See also:prime See also:minister, wished for Lord See also:Cairns as lord chancellor. Lord Chelmsford was very sore at his supersession and the manner of it, but, according to Lord See also:Malmesbury he retired under a compact made before he took office. Ten years later Lord Chelmsford died in London on the 5th of See also:October 1878. Lord Chelmsford had married in 1822 See also:Anna Maria Tinling.
