LOCKWOOD, See also:SIR See also:FRANK (1846–1897) , See also:English lawyer, was See also:born at See also:Doncaster. His grandfather and See also:great-grandfather were mayors of Doncaster, and the former for some years filled the See also:office of See also:judge on the racecourse. He was educated at a private school, at See also:Manchester See also:grammar school, and See also:Caius See also:College, See also:Cambridge. Called to the See also:bar at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn in 1872, he joined the old midland See also:circuit, afterwards going to the See also:north-eastern, making in his first See also:year 120 guineas and in the next 265 guineas. From that See also:time he had a career of uninterrupted success. In 1882 he was made a See also:queen's counsel, in 1884 he was made See also:recorder of See also:Sheffield, and in 1894 he became See also:solicitor-See also:general in See also:Lord See also:Rosebery's See also:ministry, and was knighted, having first entered See also:parliament as Liberal member for See also:York in 1885, after two unsuccessful attempts, the one at See also:King's See also:Lynn in 188o, the other at York in 1883.

He died in See also:London on the 18th of See also:December 1897. Lockwood had considerable See also:talent for See also:drawing, inherited from his See also:father, which he employed, chiefly for the amusement of himself and his See also:friends, in the making of admirable caricatures in See also:pen and See also:ink, and of sketches of humorous incidents, real or imaginary, See also:relating to the topic nearest at See also:hand. An See also:exhibition of them was held soon after his See also:death.
