EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts The Right Hon. Lord Campbell, who assumed the position of Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench in 1850. The sketch was created by an artist from Lincoln and was published in the Illustrated London News. The scene captures Lord Campbell listening intently to Mr. Humfrey, QC, during the trial of Peniston v. Dawber and others, an action for debt. The cause-list for the county of Lincoln was particularly heavy, and Lord Campbell sat through until half-past nine in the evening to hear the cases. Upon entering the courtroom, the members of the Bar rose in respect and paid their obeisance to the new Lord Chief Justice. Lord Campbell is depicted wearing his judicial robes, complete with a wig and a quill pen in hand. He is also wearing glasses, a common accessory for those with aging eyes. Lord Campbell was a prominent figure in British legal history, holding various high-ranking positions such as Lord High Chancellor of Ireland and Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. His appointment as Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench marked the beginning of his tenure in this esteemed role. The print, which was engraved and published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the courtroom proceedings of the time and provides a valuable historical record of Lord Campbell's first day on the bench.
