SHAW, LEMUEL (17811861)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 813 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHAW, LEMUEL (17811861) , American jurist, was born at Barnstable, Massachusetts, son of the minister of the West Parish there, on the 9th of January 1781. He graduated from Harvard College in 1800, and was admitted to the bar (of New
Hampshire
  and of Massachusetts) in 1804. In 18o5 he began to practise law in Boston. He was a prominent Federalist and was a member of the Massachusetts
House
  of Representatives in 1811-1814, in 1820, and in 1829, and of the state Senate in 18211822, a delegate to the state constitutional convention of 1820-1821, and
chief
  justice of the Supreme Court of the state from 183o to 186o. He died in Boston on the 3oth of March 1861. As
chief
  justice Shaw maintained the high standard of excellence set by Theophilus
Parsons
 . He presided over the trial in 1850 of Professor John White
Webster
  (17931850) for the murder of Dr George Parkman. His
work
  in extending the
equity
 , iuriiadiction and powers of the court was especially notable. He was also largely instrumental in defeating an attempt (1843) to make a reduction of salary apply to judges already in office, and an attempt (1853) to abolish the life term of judges. His
opinion
  in Cary v._ Daniels (8
Metcalf
 ) is the basis of the present law in Massachusetts as to the regulation of water power rights of riparian proprietors.
