EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Sir John Mellor (1809-1887), a prominent figure in British legal history, as he presides over a courtroom during the Victorian era. The image, taken in 1873, depicts Sir John in full judicial regalia, including a red judicial robe and a classic black wig. His stern yet fair demeanor is evident as he leans forward on the bench, intently listening to the proceedings before him. Sir John Mellor was born in Nottinghamshire, England, and was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He was called to the bar in 1834 and was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1858. In 1863, he was knighted by Queen Victoria for his exceptional service to the legal profession. Mellor's career as a judge began in 1867 when he was appointed a Justice of the Common Pleas, and he later became a Lord Justice of Appeal in 1882. During his tenure as a judge, Mellor was known for his fairness, impartiality, and thoroughness. He was also a prolific writer, publishing numerous articles and books on various legal topics. This photograph is a testament to his impressive legal career and the significant impact he had on the British legal system during the Victorian era. The red judicial robe and black wig are symbols of the tradition and history of the British legal system, which Sir John Mellor helped uphold during his time on the bench. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal figure in British legal history and offers a fascinating glimpse into the past.
