		Appointed Lord Chief Justice in 1988, he determined to slough off the judicial complacency of the Hailsham era, and to apply with greater strictness the rules and principles designed to avoid wrongful convictions.
		Lord Taylor stepped into the breach, throwing the - weight of the judiciary behind the propositions (so unattractive to writers of newspaper editorials) that criminals should be treated fairly, and that failure to catch them is generally the fault of clue- less policemen, not clever lawyers or liberal judges.
		Lord Hailsham's apparent prejudice against the criminal Bar had left the higher courts largely bereft of judges who knew much about criminal law from experience.

		In 1543, on the appointment of John Dudley, Lord Lisle as admiral, Bryan was made vice-admiral because of ‘his experience in sea matters’.
		Bryan's marriage to the widow of the 9th Earl of Ormond was probably a political match designed to prevent her marriage to the Desmond heir, a union which in the event it merely postponed.
		In Nov 1548 Bryan arrived in Dublin to take up the office of lord marshal: a year later he was made lord justice pending the arrival of a new lord deputy to replace Sir Edward Bellingham, who had resented his appointment, but on 2 Feb 1550 he died suddenly at Clonmel from an unknown cause.
