Nathaniel Lindley, Baron Lindley
In 1855 he published An Introduction to the Study of Jurisprudence, consisting of a translation of the general part of Thibaut's System des Pandekten Rechts, with copious notes.[2] Among his pupils were Francis William Maclean, later Chief Justice of Bengal, and Frederick Pollock.[3] In 1874 he was elected a bencher of the Middle Temple, of which he was treasurer in 1894[2] In 1875, he was appointed to be a Serjeant-at-law[4][5] and a Justice of the Court of Common Pleas,[4][5] the appointment of a chancery barrister to a common-law court being justified by the fusion of common law and equity then shortly to be brought about, in theory at all events, by the Judicature Acts.As the requirement for common law judges to be serjeants was abolished shortly after, Lord Lindley became the last serjeant-at-law appointed, and the last judge to wear the serjeant's coif, or rather the black patch representing it, on the judicial wig.He married Sarah Katharine, daughter of Edward John Teale of Leeds, on 5 Aug 1858.
