See also:ELLENBOROUGH, See also:EDWARD See also:LAW, 1ST See also:BARON (1750-1818) , See also:English See also:judge, was See also:born on the 16th of See also:November 1750, at See also:Great Salkeld, in See also:Cumberland, of which See also:place his See also:father, See also:Edmund Law (1703-1787), afterwards See also:bishop of See also:Carlisle, was at the See also:- TIME (0.

time See also:rector. Educated at the See also:Charterhouse and at Peterhouse, See also:Cambridge, he passed as third wrangler, and was soon afterwards elected to a fellowship at Trinity. In spite of his father's strong wish that he should take orders, he See also:chose the legal profession, and on quitting the university was entered at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn. After spending five years as a See also:special pleader under the See also:bar, he was called to the bar in 1780. He chose the See also:northern See also:circuit, and in a very See also:short time obtained a lucrative practice and a high reputation. In 1787 he was appointed See also:principal counsel for See also:Warren See also:Hastings in the celebrated See also:impeachment trial before the See also:House of Lords, and the ability with which he conducted the See also:defence was universally recognized. He had begun his See also:political career as a Whig, but, like many others, he saw in the See also:French Revolution a See also:reason for changing sides, and became a supporter of See also:Pitt. On the formation of the Addington See also:ministry in 18or, he was appointed See also:attorney-See also:general and shortly after-wards was returned to the House of See also:Commons as member for See also:Newtown in the Isle of See also:Wight. In 1802 he succeeded See also:Lord See also:Kenyon as See also:chief See also:justice of the See also:- KING

king's See also:bench. On being raised to the bench he was created a peer, taking his See also:title from the See also:village of Ellenborough in Cumberland, where his maternal ancestors had See also:long held a small patrimony. In 1806, on the formation of Lord See also:Grenville's ministry " of all the talents," Lord Ellenborough declined the offer of the great See also:seal, but accepted a seat in the See also:cabinet. His doing so while he retained the chief justiceship was much criticized at the time, and, though not without precedent, was open to such obvious objections on constitutional grounds that the experiment has not since been repeated. As a judge he had See also:grave faults, though his decisions displayed profound legal knowledge, and in See also:mercantile law especially were reckoned of high authority. He was harsh and over-bearing to counsel, and in the political trials which were so frequent in his time showed an unmistakable See also:bias against the accused. In the trial of See also:- WILLIAM
