 Lord Chancellor
Although the Lord Chancellor is usually a senior lawyer rather than a judge, he upon appointment becomes president of the Appellate Committees of the House of Lords (which is a court and a house of Parliament) and (conventionally) of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the highest courts that exist in the United Kingdom.
Nevertheless, the Lord Chancellor has taken the judicial oath, and it is often said that the most important job of the Lord Chancellor is to preserve the independence of the judiciary, and to argue for the judiciary in the Cabinet.
The previous Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine of Lairg refused to rule out sitting as a judge, and the radical proposals that came with his replacement are partly due to his refusal to take this step.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Charles Russell
His success on the northern circuit soon recalled him to London, where he became "Queen's Counsel" in 1872, and divided the mercantile business of the circuit with Lord Herschell.
The increasing demand for his services may be judged by his fees which averaged $15,000 a year from 1862-72, $50,000 in the next decade, $80,000 in the third, and in 1893-4, his last year of practice, reached $150,000.
In the same year he was appointed Lord Chief Justice of England, the first Catholic to attain that office for centuries.

There has been a reluctance to accept Lord Herschell’s words at their face value and, it would seem, a feeling that they ought to be treated as subject to some limitation that does justice to the “interest” that a residuary legatee possesses in his testator’s estate.
My lords, no doubt the right of a next of kin is a right which can only be asserted by calling upon the administrator to perform his duty, and the performance of the duty of the administrator may require the conversion of the estate into money for the purpose of paying debts and legacies.
My Lords, the concept of legal ownership of property which did not carry with it the right of the owner to enjoy the fruits of it or dispose of it for his own benefit, owed its origin to the Court of Chancery.

Thus, although the Lord Ordinary’s concession of 36 hours or so to the charterers was evidently based on equitable principles rather than a strict construction of the off-hire clause itself, the effect of his approach was to treat the clause as though it was what is now termed a "net loss of time" clause.
The view Lord Young has expressed on this matter is certainly difficult to overcome, but I think it is possible to hold that, while the ship lay in Harburg for the purpose of discharging cargo, she was not inefficient for her service.
Lord Morris agreed that the ship should be off-hire for the sea passage; but he also thought it should be off-hire at Harburg.

 Propensity Evidence in Victoria: A Triumph for Justice or an Affront to Civil Liberties? - [1999] MULR 12; (1999) 23 ...
The first sentence of Lord Herschell’s formulation purports to totally prohibit evidence of other criminal misconduct if it is being tendered for the sole purpose of proving guilt through what is commonly referred to as a propensity chain of reasoning.
Lord Herschell’s passage is also problematic in that its literal interpretation cannot be reconciled with the ‘similar fact evidence rule’ of exclusion under the present common law doctrine in Australia.
[51] The quintessence of the judiciary’s reinterpretation of Lord Herschell’s formulation, therefore, is a balancing of the probative value of such evidence against its potential to unfairly prejudice the accused’s right to a fair trial.

This argument, in effect, was that since the appellant was the only person who could know what was in her mind at the time when the forms were completed, then the judge was bound to accept her assertion that she then believed the respondent to be the father of both children.
89 Lord Hoffman’s analysis in that case focussed attention on the extent to which the consequences suffered by the representee were occasioned by the fact that the representation was wrong, rather than on the question whether but for the representation the losses would not have been suffered by the plaintiff
The judge said that, "when she filled in these forms", the appellant had no genuine belief in the assertion that the respondent was the father of the children and that she "intended [him] to rely upon it, as indeed he did, in consenting to the naming of the children Magill".

 Admiral William Reginald 'Blinker' Hall & Room 40
This scheme had been evolved by Lord Fisher, then Second Sea Lord, to meet the growing need to include engineering in the syllabus for executive officers, but he went much further than this, and by his scheme executive and engineer officers were all to be educated together and become interchangeable throughout their careers.
There was never any hope that this scheme would survive, because it was introduced at a time when all the new scientific inventions were being harnessed to increase battlepower and increase speed and radius of action, and both executive and engineer officers were working overtime to keep abreast of their own work.
Churchill, First Lord, and Lord Fisher, First Sea Lord, signed a minute to the effect that an officer of the War Staff was to be selected to study all decoded intercepts and compare them continually with what actually took place, in order to penetrate the German mind and movements.
