Sir Andrew Marshall Porter, 1st Baronet PC, QC (27 June 1837 – 9 January 1919) was an Irish lawyer and judge.

Background and education

Porter was born in Belfast, the son of Reverend John Scott Porter and his wife Margaret Marshall. He was educated at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, and Queen's University, Belfast.

Legal and judicial career

In 1860 Porter was called to the Bar and by 1872 had become Queen's Counsel. He sat as Member of Parliament for County Londonderry from 1881 to 1884 and served under William Ewart Gladstone as Solicitor-General for Ireland from 1881 to 1882 and as Attorney-General for Ireland from 1882 to 1883: in his official capacity he was deeply involved in the trials following the Phoenix Park murders. He was appointed Master of the Rolls in Ireland in 1883 and served in that post until 1907. It was announced that he would receive a baronetcy in the 1902 Coronation Honours list published on 26 June 1902 for the (subsequently postponed) coronation of King Edward VII,^[1] and on 24 July 1902 he was created a Baronet, of Merrion square, in the city and county of Dublin.^[2]

A. M. Sullivan described him as "a fine lawyer of noble presence and true dignity" who did not tolerate any disturbance to the decorum of his Court. As a judge Sullivan ranked him as one of the four greatest he had known, and as almost the equal of the celebrated Christopher Palles.

Porter married Agnes Horsburgh and they had six children:^[3]
