PEACOCK, SIR BARNES (1810-189o)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 20 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PEACOCK, SIR BARNES (1810-189o) ,
English
  judge, was born in 181o, the son of
Lewis
 
Peacock
 , a solicitor. After practising as a
special
  pleader, he was called to the bar in 1836, and in 1844 obtained
great
  reputation by pointing out the flaw which invalidated the conviction of Daniel O'Connell and his fellow defendants. In 1852 he went to India as legal member of the
governor
 -general's council. He here displayed
great
  activity as a law reformer, but sometimes manifested too little consideration for native susceptibilities. The legislative council was established soon after his arrival, and although no orator, he was so frequent a
speaker
  that legislation enjoining councillors to deliver their speeches sitting was said to have been devised with the sole object of restraining him. As a member of Lord Dalhousie's council he supported the annexation of Oudh, and he stood by Lord Canning all through the Mutiny. In 1859 he became
chief
 
justice
  of the Supreme
Court
 . He returned to England in 1870, and in 1872 was placed upon the judicial committee of the privy council, where his Indian experience rendered him invaluable. He died on the 3rd of December 1890.
