Sir John Taylor Coleridge, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Sir John Taylor Coleridge, 1858. Our Judges are so deservedly esteemed by the public, and their integrity, knowledge, and ability are regarded with so much veneration, that the removal of one of them from the bench invariably excites the national regret...The loving respect with which they are honoured by the people is due to the firmness, impartiality, and wisdom which they have commonly displayed...In an English Judge we look naturally for elegant scholarship, liberality of judgment, an abnegation of selfish and factious motives, a well-balanced mind, a clear, logical brain, and a dignified bearing...Mr. Justice Coleridge, who retired from the Bench after a long and noble service of twenty-three years about a month ago, eminently deserves the high reputation he has achieved, and the general esteem in which he is held...Untiring in his exertions to comprehend the bearings of a case, ever prepared to lend his protection to a badgered witness, while equally ready to listen to counsel with patient courtesy, lucid in his reasoning, exact in his legal opinions, and thoroughly conversant with the principles of our jurisprudence, Sir John Coleridge was respected and beloved both by the profession and the country'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir John Taylor Coleridge, 1858: A Man of Integrity, Scholarship, and Wisdom This photograph captures Sir John Taylor Coleridge in the twilight of his distinguished legal career. Retiring from the bench after an illustrious service of twenty-three years, Coleridge's departure was met with widespread regret and admiration from both the legal profession and the public. The esteem in which Coleridge was held was not unwarranted. In the words of the Illustrated London News, "Our Judges are so deservedly esteemed by the public, and their integrity, knowledge, and ability are regarded with so much veneration, that the removal of one of them from the bench invariably excites the national regret." Coleridge embodied the qualities that the English people looked for in their judges. He was a man of elegant scholarship, liberality of judgment, and an abnegation of selfish and factious motives. His mind was well-balanced, his brain clear and logical, and his bearing dignified. Coleridge's dedication to the law was unwavering. He was untiring in his efforts to comprehend the bearings of a case, and was ever ready to lend his protection to a badgered witness. At the same time, he listened patiently to counsel with courteous lucidity, and was renowned for his logical reasoning and exact legal opinions. His thorough knowledge of the principles of English jurisprudence made him a respected and beloved figure in the legal community. As the Illustrated London News noted, "Mr. Justice Coleridge, who retired from the Bench about a month ago, eminently deserves the high reputation he has achieved, and the general esteem in which he is held." This photograph is a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated his life to upholding the law with integrity, wisdom, and dignity.
