This article appears in Volume V10, Page 495 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FLEMING, SIR THOMAS (1S44-1613) , English judge, was horn at Newport, Isle of Wight, in April 1544, and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1574. He represented Winchester in
parliament
  from 1584 to 16o1, when he was returned for Southampton. In 1594 he was appointed recorder of London, and in 1595 was chosen solicitor-general in preference to
Bacon
 . This office he retained under James I. and was knighted in 1603. In 1604 he was created
chief
  baron of the
exchequer
  and presided over many important state trials. In 1607 he was promoted to the
chief
  justiceship of the king's bench, and was one of the judges at the trial of the post-nati in 16o8, siding with the
majority
  of the judges in declaring that persons born in
Scotland
  after the accession of James I. were entitled to the privileges of natural-born subjects in England. He was praised by his contemporaries, more particularly
Coke
 , for his "
great
  judgments, integrity and discretion." He died on the 7th of August 1613 at his seat, Stoneham Park,
Hampshire
 .
