Early life

He was the second son of the botanist Dr. John Lindley,[1] born at Acton Green, London. From his mother's side, he was descended from Sir Edward Coke. He was educated at University College School, and studied for a time at University College London, and the University of Edinburgh and University of Cambridge in 1898 and achieved Doctor of Civil Law in University of Oxford in 1903.[1][2]

Legal career

He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1850,[1] and began practice in the Court of Chancery. In 1855 he published An Introduction to the Study of Jurisprudence, consisting of a translation of the general part of Thibaut's System des Pandekten Rechts, with copious notes. In 1860 he published in two volumes his Treatise on the Law of Partnership, including its Application to Joint Stock and other Companies, and in 1862 a supplement including the Companies Act 1862. This work has since been developed into two textbooks well known to lawyers as Lindley on Companies and Lindley on Partnership.[2] Among his pupils were Francis William Maclean, later Chief Justice of Bengal, and Frederick Pollock.

He took silk in February 1872.[3] In 1874 he was elected a bencher of the Middle Temple, of which he was treasurer in 1894[2]

Judicial career

In 1875, he was appointed to be a Serjeant-at-law[4][5] and a Justice of the Court of Common Pleas,[4][5] the appointment of a chancery barrister to a common-law court being justified by the fusion of common law and equity then shortly to be brought about, in theory at all events, by the Judicature Acts.

In 1875, he was knighted.[6][7] In 1880 he became a justice of the Queen's Bench and in 1881 he was raised to be a Lord Justice of the Court of Appeal[1][8] and was sworn of the Privy Council.[2][9]

In 1897, Lord Justice Lindley succeeded Lord Esher as Master of the Rolls,[1][10][11] and in 1900 he was made a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary[12][13] with a life peerage and the title of Baron Lindley, of East Carleton in the County of Norfolk.[12][13] He resigned the judicial post in 1905.[2]

Prior to the 1875 reforms, the appointment of serjeants-at-law had already declined, but common law judges could only be appointed from amongst the serjeants-at-law, so it was customary for any appointee who was not yet a serjeant to be appointed a serjeant immediately prior to being appointed a judge. As the requirement for common law judges to be serjeants was abolished shortly after, Lord Lindley became the last serjeant-at-law appointed, and the last judge to wear the serjeant's coif, or rather the black patch representing it, on the judicial wig.[2]

Mount Lindley in Antarctica is named after him.

Family

He married Sarah Katharine, daughter of Edward John Teale of Leeds, on 5 Aug 1858.[1][2][14] He died at home in East Carleton, near Norwich, in 1921.[15] They had nine children, including diplomat Sir Francis Oswald Lindley and the army officer Major-General John Lindley.[16]
