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.
