Sir J. Holker, M.P., Solicitor-General, 1874. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Beattie. 'The newly-appointed Solicitor-General, in succession to Sir Richard Baggallay, is a son of the late Mr. Samuel Holker, of Bury, Lancashire, by Sarah, daughter of the late Mr. J. Brocklehurst. He was born in the year 1828, and was educated at the Grammar School of his native town. He was called to the Bar at Gray's Inn, in Trinity Term, 1854, and joined the Northern Circuit. He did not enter Parliament until September, 1872, when he was returned for Preston, in the Conservative interest, in the place of the late Sir Thomas Fermor Hesketh. He was rechosen by a large majority at the late general election, and obtained the honour of a silk gown in 1868'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
