This article appears in Volume V09, Page 749 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ERLE, SIR WILLIAM (1793-1880) ,
English
  lawyer and judge, was born at Fifehead-Magdalen, Dorset, on the 1st of October 1793, and was educated at Winchester and at New College,
Oxford
 . Having been called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1819 he went the western circuit, became counsel to the Bank of England, sat in
parliament
  from 1837 to 1841 for the city of
Oxford
 , and, although of opposite politics to Lord
Lyndhurst
 , was made by him a judge of the common pleas in 1845. He was transferred to the queen's bench in the following year, and in 1859 came back to the common pleas as
chief
 
justice
  upon the promotion of Sir Alexander Cockburn. He retired in 1866, receiving the highest eulogiums for the ability and impartiality with which he had discharged the judicial office. He died at his estate at Bramshott,
Hampshire
 , on the 28th of January
t88o, and a
monument
  without his name but in his memory (sometimes erroneously supposed to mark the place where an old gibbet was) stands on the top of Hindhead.
See E.
Manson
 , Builders of our Law (1904).
