An ardent supporter of See also:civil and religious See also:liberty, he distinguished himself in the See also:state trials which were then so See also:common by the able and courageous manner in which he supported the pleas of the defendants. In 1685–1686 he was appointed recorder of See also:London, and about the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

William III. was called to the See also:throne, and after his See also:accession he was appointed lord chief justice of the King's See also:Bench. His merits as a See also:judge are the more apparent and the more remarkablewhen contrasted with the qualities displayed by his predecessors in office. In judicial fairness, legal knowledge and ability, clearness of statement and unbending integrity he has had few if any superiors on the See also:English bench. Over the civil rights of his countrymen he exercised a jealous watchfulness, more especially when presiding at the trial of state prosecutions, and he was especially careful that all accused persons should be treated with fairness and respect. He is, however, best known for the firmness with which he upheld his own prerogatives in opposition to the authority of the Houses of Parliament. On several occasions his See also:physical as well as his moral courage was tried by extreme tests. Having been requested to See also:supply a number of See also:police to help the soldiery in quelling a See also:riot, he assured the messenger that if any of the See also:people were shot he would have the soldiers hanged, and proceeding himself to the See also:scene of riot he was successful in preventing bloodshed. While steadfast in his sympathies with the Whig party, Holt maintained on the bench entire political impartiality, and always held himself aloof from political intrigue. On the retirement of See also:Somers from the chancellorship in 1700 he was offered the See also:great See also:seal, but declined it. His See also:death took See also:place in London on the 5th of See also:March 1710. He was buried in the See also:chancel of See also:Redgrave See also:- CHURCH
