Item History & Price
Original vintage Carte de Visite Photograph of George William Wilshere Bramwell, 1st Baron BramwellGeorge William Wilshere Bramwell, 1st Baron Bramwell, PC, FRS (12 June 1808 - 9 May 1892), was an English judge.In 1851 Lord Cranworth made Bramwell a Queen's counsel, and the Inner Temple elected him a bencher; he had ceased to be a member of Lincoln's Inn in 1841. In 1853 he served on the royal commission to inquire into the assimilation of the mercantile laws of Scotland and ...England and the law of partnership, which had as its result the Companies Act of 1862. It was he who, during the sitting of this commission, suggested the addition of the word limited to the title of companies that sought to limit their liability, in order to prevent the obvious danger to persons trading with them in ignorance of their limitation of liability.As a queen's counsel Bramwell enjoyed a large and steadily increasing practice, and in 1856 he was knighted and raised to the bench as a Baron of the Exchequer. In 1867, with Mr. Justice Blackburn and Sir John Coleridge, he was made a member of the judicature commission. In 1871 he was one of the three judges who refused the seat on the judicial committee of the Privy Council to which Sir Robert Collier, in evasion of the spirit of the act creating the appointment, was appointed; and in 1876 he was raised to the court of appeal, where he sat until the autumn of 1881.Early photo on card - dating from c 1860's SIZE - 2.5 ins x 4 ins ( approx )CONDITION - Good Condition - See Scans Please note that the red UK OLD POSTCARDS does not appear on the original photograph but is placed on the scan to protect the image from being copied.
