Paul Ogden Lawrence

Sir Paul Ogden Lawrence (1861–1952) was a British barrister and judge.[1]

Biography

He was the second son of Philip Henry Lawrence, solicitor, later barrister, of Chelsea, London, whose mother was Frances S. Ogden, the youngest child of a well known New Jersey legal family, her father being Abraham Ogden. The family was descended from the Revd. Philip Henry, one of the original Nonconformists in 1662. Susan Lawrence, the Labour politician, was his first cousin. Quentin Lawrence, the television director, was his nephew. Sir Paul's sisters Penelope, Dorothy, and Millicent founded Roedean School; their Lawrence great aunts had been governesses and school teachers, mainly in Liverpool, earlier in the century.

Educated at Malvern College, he read for the bar at Lincoln's Inn and was called to the bar in November 1882, after which he practiced on the Northern Circuit.[2] He took silk in 1896 and began a practice at the Chancery bar in London. He was appointed a Chancery judge in 1918, and chaired two committees on legal aid between 1919 and 1925. In 1926 he became a judge of the Court of Appeal, and was sworn of the Privy Council.

His father had done pioneer work in helping preserve the commons around London; Sir Paul carried on this work, especially with Wimbledon Common.

He married in 1887 Maude Mary (died 1947), daughter of John Turner of Oaklands, Wimbledon Park. They had no children.

gollark: How about:Create a new section "Bees" %bees.Create a rule "Bee utilization part 1" (%bees-1) in %bees:> If bees are deployed, they may be used against any player, if a Bee Poll indicating this target player is passed. The deployment status of bees is to be considered part of the Game State. If bees are used on a player they lose 1 point. Bees are not considered a resource and if they are deployed an unlimited amount of bee-related actions may be taken.Create a rule "Bee Poll" (%bee-poll) in %polls:> A Bee Poll is required to authorize bees to perform actions, as described in %bees. The default allowed reactions for a Bee Poll are 👍 (representing a vote for) and 👎 (representing a vote against). Bee Polls may be ended if they have existed for 12 hours, rather than the usual 24. When a Bee Poll ends, if there are more votes for the Bee Poll than against it, the Bee Poll passes. Players are permitted to use multiple reactions on a Bee Poll.
gollark: What? I'm going to just cancel the existing proposal and make one creating the bee section and bee rules section 1.
gollark: Wait, maybe it should create a bee *section* too.
