Mr. Justice Lush, the new judge, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. J. and C. Watkins. 'The new Judge of the Court of Queen's Bench, Mr. Justice Lush, who has succeeded the late Mr. Justice Crompton, is a lawyer who has made his way from the humblest rank in the service of his profession; having been employed, originally, as an attorney's clerk, where he learnt the details of practice. At the age of twenty-nine, in November, 1836, he entered as a student of Gray's Inn, was admitted as special pleader a twelvemonth afterwards, and called to the Bar on the 18th of November, 1840. He soon obtained a considerable amount of practice on the Home Circuit, and in June, 1857, was made Queen's Counsel. Having attained his elevation to the Bench by mere application to the ordinary business of his profession, without the aid of political influence or patronage, his appointment is regarded with much satisfaction by the majority of working lawyers, both attorneys and barristers. He is a native of Shaftesbury, Dorsetshire, and fifty-eight years old. Mr. Justice Lush became also Sir Robert Lush on Monday last, when he received the honour of knighthood from her Majesty's hands at Windsor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
