The late Mr. Oke, Chief Clerk to the Lord Mayor of London, 1874. Engraving from a photograph by Maull and Co. 'We lately recorded the death of Mr. George Colwell Oke, chief clerk to the Lord Mayor of London. The deceased gentleman, who was only fifty-one years of age, became assistant clerk to the Lord Mayor in 1855, having previously acted as clerk to the Newmarket Bench of Justices, and in 1865 he succeeded Mr. Goodman in the chief clerkship. He was one of the ablest of criminal lawyers, especially in the summary branch of procedure, and he was the author of many standard legal works, including "Oke's Magisterial Synopsis," which has passed through eleven editions; "The Magisterial Formulist," "The Law of Turnpike Roads," the "Handy Book of the Game and Fishery Laws," and "Oke on the Licensing Laws." Although ailing for some time past, he remained at his post at the Mansion House until the week of his death'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
