He was appointed in 1939 succeeding the acting Francis Soertsz and was Chief Justice until 1945. He was succeeded by Arthur Wijewardena, also after the acting Francis Soertsz.[4][5] Howard was born in Spalding, Lincolnshire, to FitzAlan Howard and Edith Thacker. He was educated at Uppingham School and Clare College, Cambridge. He was called to the bar a year before the First World War, and his career was interrupted by six years in the British Army.[6] After the war, he accepted a job in the Colonial Legal Service, serving as Attorney General of Cyprus,[7] Solicitor-General of Nigeria and Attorney-General of the Gold Coast (now Ghana). In 1936, he was promoted to Legal Secretary, Ceylon. After returning to England, from 1953–57, he was chairman of the Police Council for Great Britain. He was recalled by Sir William Fitzgerald as "a strikingly handsome man with a commanding presence."[6] Howard was knighted in the 1942 New Year Honours.[8] References1. ^England & Wales, Civil Registration Birth Index, 1837-1915 {{s-start}}{{s-legal}}{{s-bef|before=Sidney Abrahams2. ^{{cite news |title=Sir John Howard |work=The Times |publisher=The Times Digital Archive |page=14 |date=20 November 1970}} 3. ^England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007 4. ^{{cite web|title=Overview |url=http://www.jsc.gov.lk/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=60&lang=en |publisher=Judicial Service Commission Secretariat |accessdate=19 October 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019091817/http://www.jsc.gov.lk/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=60&lang=en |archivedate=19 October 2013 |df= }} 5. ^{{Who's Who|type=was|id=U51071|surname=HOWARD|othernames=Sir John Curtois|accessed=7 January 2013}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |title=Obituary: Sir John Howard – Former Ceylon Chief Justice |work=The Times |publisher=The Times Digital Archive |page=14 |date=21 November 1970}} 7. ^{{cite book|last=Kyprianou|first=Despina|title=The Role of the Cyprus Attorney General's Office in Prosecutions: Rhetoric, Ideology and Practice: Rhetoric, Ideology and Practice|year=2009|publisher=Springer|page=231|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZW7kbDGMCPEC&pg=PA231&dq=John+Curtois+Howard&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Xk6DUqHPGIiGkQWipIDABg&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=John%20Curtois%20Howard&f=false}} 8. ^{{London Gazette |issue=35455 |date=13 February 1942 |page= 715 }} Francis Soertsz as acting}}{{s-ttl|title=Chief Justice of Ceylon|years=1939-1945}}{{s-aft|after=Arthur Wijewardena Francis Soertsz as acting}}{{s-bef|before={{nowrap|Edward St. John Jackson}}}}{{s-ttl|title=Attorney General of Ceylon|years=1936}}{{s-aft|after={{nowrap|John William Ronald Illangakoon}}}}{{s-bef|before=}}{{s-ttl|title=Attorney General of Cyprus|years=1925-1926}}{{s-aft|after=Charles Cyril Howard}}{{s-end}}{{Chief Justices of Sri Lanka}}{{Attorney General of Sri Lanka}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Howard, John Curtois}} 13 : 1887 births|1970 deaths|Chief Justices of British Ceylon|20th-century Sri Lankan people|British expatriates in Sri Lanka|19th-century British people|19th-century Sri Lankan people|Sri Lankan people of British descent|Attorneys General of British Ceylon|Attorneys-General of British Cyprus|Knights Bachelor|Alumni of Clare College, Cambridge|English judges |
