  Sir Alexander James Edmund Cockburn - LoveToKnow 1911
He was the son of Alexander, fourth son of Sir James Cockburn, 6th baronet, his three uncles, who had successively held the title, dying without heirs.
Young Alexander was at one time intended for the diplomatic service, and frequently during the legal career which he ultimately adopted he was able to make considerable use of the knowledge of foreign languages, especially French, with which birth and early education had equipped him.
The greatest public occasion on which Sir Alexander Cockburn acted, outside his usual judicial functions, was that of the "Alabama" arbitration, held at Geneva in 1872, in which he represented the British government, and dissented from the view taken by the majority of the arbitrators, without being able to convince them.

 Sir Clowdisley Shovell
Sir Cloudesley rightly guessing the basis of this boast, sent word to General Kirke that he was ready to assist him with guns, boats, and men; the general accepted the proposal - the prudence of General Bourke took place of his valour, and before one stone was dislodged from another, the place was surrendered.
Sir Cloudesley Shovel was then in the Downs with several great ships, which were all in the utmost danger; he cut his main-mast by the board, which saved the ship from running upon the Galloper of the beach of which she was then in view.
Sir Cloudesley was a Whig, but he had never omitted on all occasions to assert the high merit of Sir George Rookc, and to assist in maintaining against his adversaries the reputation he had so honourably and deservedly acquired.
