Sir Adam Bittleston (12 September 1817 – 18 January 1892)[1] was a British-born Indian judge. He was the son of the journalist Thomas Bittleston and his wife Ann, who worked for The Morning Post.[1] Bittleston was educated at the Merchant Taylors' School until 1834 and was called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1841.[1] He practised in the midland circuit and from 1850 was a revising barrister.[2] In 1858, he was appointed a puisne judge at the Supreme Court of Judicature at Madras and therefore created a Knight Bachelor.[3] After the Indian High Courts Act 1861, Bittleston switched to the new established Madras High Court and served as acting chief justice in 1866 and the following year.[4] He retired in 1870 and returned to England.[7] In 1844, he married Rebecca Ann, eldest daughter of George Hastings Heppel.[5] Bittleston died in 1892 at Weybridge.[6] References1. ^{{cite book | last = Buckland | first = C.
