	Thomas Erskine, 1st Baron Erskine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Erskine, 1st Baron Erskine (10 January 1750 - 17 November 1823), Lord Chancellor of the United Kingdom, was the third and youngest son of Henry David Erskine, 10th Earl of Buchan, and was born in Edinburgh.
		Erskine was the junior of five counsel; and it was his good fortune that the prolixity of his leaders consumed the whole of the first day, thereby giving the advantage of starting afresh next morning.
		Erskine's great forensic reputation was, to a certain extent, a concomitant of the numerous political trials of the day, but it was also due to his impassioned eloquence and undaunted courage, which so often carried audience and jury and even the court along with him.

		And he sneered, that for Erskine to be the first who stood up as the champion of the rights of brutes was, indeed, a marked distinction.
