The Hon. William Shee, one of the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, 1864. Engraving of a photograph by John and Charles Watkins. 'William Shee, Queen's Serjeant...is the first Roman Catholic Judge since the Revolution of 1688...He has already gone circuit as Judge of Assize, and has won golden opinions from the Bar and the public for his dignified bearing, his courtesy, and his eminently judicial temper and acquirements. A better appointment to the Bench could not have been made; for this eloquent and learned lawyer is well known to possess such high order of intellect, keen sense of honour, and thorough rectitude of purpose, without one shade of bigotry - such qualities, in fine, as must bring additional lustre to the English Bench'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
