The late Hon. Sir Henry Manisty, Judge of the Supreme Court, 1890. Portrait from a photograph by Mr. G. Jerrard, of the Claudet Studio. 'Sir Henry Manisty, one of the Judges of the High Court of Justice, who on Jan. 24 was struck with paralysis while on the bench, died on the 31st in his eighty-second year. He was son of the Rev. James Manisty, Vicar of Edlingham, Northumberland, and was educated at Durham Grammar School. At the age of twenty-three he began practice as a solicitor, but gave it up in 1842, and studied for the Bar, being called at Gray's Inn in 1845. After twelve years at the Bar, he was made Queen's Counsel, and twenty-one years later, at the age of sixty-eight, he was appointed by Lord Cairns a Judge of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice. On the same occasion he received the honour of knighthood. The Judges assembled in the Lord Chief Justice's Court on Feb. 3, when the Attorney-General, on behalf of the Bar, paid a warm tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Justice Manisty. Lord Coleridge also dwelt on the loss sustained by the Bench, and said it would be difficult to find a successor who possessed in an equal degree those qualities which were manifested by the deceased Judge'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
