Sir Ford North, FRS FRMS (10 January 1830 – 12 October 1913), was an English lawyer and judge. North was born in Liverpool. He was the eldest son of John North, a solicitor, and Ellen Haworth. In 1857, he married Elizabeth William Mann.[1] North was educated at Winchester College and then University College, Oxford. He began his legal studies at the Inner Temple in 1853, and was called to the Bar in 1856. Practising as a barrister, he was named Queen's Counsel in 1877, and was elected a bencher in 1881.[1] He was appointed a judge of the High Court of Justice in 1881, and was knighted.[1][2] North was sworn in before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Selborne, at his country residence, Blackmoor, Petersfield.[3] Justice North sat originally in the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court, where he presided over the blasphemy trial of George William Foote; when he sentenced Foote to a lengthy term of imprisonment, Foote responded "My Lord, I thank you. It is worthy of your creed".[4] North transferred to the Chancery Division in 1883.[1] He resigned from the Court in 1900. On 3 March 1900 he was sworn a member of the Privy Council,[5][6] which entitled him to sit on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1900.[7] North was predeceased by his wife in 1907.[1] He died at Laggan House, Carron, in the county of Moray, in Scotland, on 12 October 1913.[8] References1. ^1 2 3 4 "Obituary," The Straits Times, 14 October 1913, p. 9. {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:North, Ford}}{{England-law-bio-stub}}2. ^[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/25033/page/5353 The London Gazette, No. 25033 p. 5353, 1 November 1881,] 3. ^"The New Judges," The Tablet, 5 November 1881, p. 26. 4. ^{{cite book |last=Nash |first=David S. |title=Blasphemy in Modern Britain: 1789 to the Present |publisher=Ashgate |year=1999 |page=144}} 5. ^{{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename=Court Circular|day_of_week=Monday |date=5 March 1900 |page_number=9 |issue=36081| }} 6. ^{{London Gazette|issue=27172|page=1609| date=9 March 1900}} 7. ^{{cite web|url= https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=122&dsqSearch=%28%28text%29%3D%27north%27%29|title= Fellow Details|publisher= Royal Society|accessdate= 27 January 2017}} 8. ^[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/28783/page/9372%20 The London Gazette, No. 28783 p. 9372, 19 December 1913.] 13 : 1830 births|1913 deaths|People educated at Winchester College|Alumni of University College, Oxford|Members of the Inner Temple|Queen's Counsel 1801–1900|Knights Bachelor|English judges|Queen's Bench Division judges|Chancery Division judges|Members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council|Fellows of the Royal Society|Members of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom |
