IMPEY, SIR ELIJAH (1732-1809)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 343 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IMPEY, SIR ELIJAH (1732-1809) ,
chief
 
justice
  of Bengal, was born on the 13th of June 1732, and educated at Westminster with
Warren
  Hastings, who was his intimate friend throughout
life
 . In 1773 he was appointed the first
chief
 
justice
  of the new supreme
court
  at Calcutta, and in 1775 presided at the trial of Nuncomar (q.v.) for forgery, with which his name has been chiefly connected in history. His
impeachment
  was unsuccessfully attempted in the
House
  of Commons in 1787, and he is accused by Macaulay of conspiring with Hastings to commit a judicial murder; but the whole question of the trial of Nuncomar has been examined in detail by Sir James Fitzjames Stephen, who states that " no man ever had, or could have, a fairer trial than Nuncomar, and Impey in particular behaved
with absolute fairness and as much indulgence as was compatible with his duty."
See E. B. Impey, Sir Elijah Inzpey (1846) ; and Sir James Stephen, The Story of Nuncomar and the
Impeachment
  of Sir Elijah Impey (1885).
