The late Mr. J. Lawrence Gane, Q.C., M.P., 1895. Engraving from a photograph. 'Heartfelt regret has been experienced by a large circle of admirers at the death of Mr. Gane. The hon. and learned gentleman was on his way home from New Zealand where he had unsuccessfully sought for better health. During the last few years Mr. Gane had been almost a perpetual sufferer, although he bravely struggled as long as possible against the inroads of the disease which has at last proved fatal...he was called to the Bar of the Middle Temple in 1870; since then he has been a familiar figure on the circuit which is now known as the Middle. He was particularly strong as a barrister in commercial cases, and acquired considerable popularity in Leeds...He was a member of the School Board in that town, and delivered a large number of lectures on various subjects in different parts of the North of England with great success, owing to his splendid elocution, wide reading, and delightful wit...[In 1886 he became] Parliamentary candidate for the East Division of Leeds...His mind was stored with extensive knowledge of Shakspere, Dickens, Charles Lamb, Thackeray, and other authors; and from this literary mine he drew forth rich ore without the slightest effort'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
