THOMAS (1779–1854) , Scottish See also:judge, with the See also:style of See also:Lord Cockburn, was See also:born in See also:Edinburgh on the 26th of See also:October 1779. His See also:father, a keen Tory, was a See also:baron of the Scottish See also:court of See also:exchequer, and his See also:mother was connected by See also:marriage with Lord See also:Melville. He was educated at the high school and the university of Edinburgh; and he was a member of the famous Speculative Society, to which See also:Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott, See also:Brougham and See also:Jeffrey belonged. He entered the See also:faculty of See also:advocates in 1800, and attached himself, not to the party of his relatives, who could have afforded him most valuable See also:patron-See also:age, but to the Whig or Liberal party, and that at a 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.

On the See also:accession of See also:Earl See also:Grey's See also:ministry in 183o he became See also:solicitor-See also:general for See also:Scotland. In 1834 he was raised to the See also:bench, and on taking his seat as a judge in the court of session he adopted the See also:title of Lord Cockburn. Cockburn's forensic style
was remarkable for its clearness, pathos and simplicity; and his conversational See also:powers were unrivalled among his contemporaries. The extent of his See also:literary ability only became known after he had passed his seventieth See also:year, on the publication of his See also:biography of Lord Jeffrey in 1852, and from the Memorials of his Time, which appeared posthumously in 1856. He died on the 26th of See also:April 1854, at his See also:mansion of Bonaly, near Edinburgh.
