 Sir William Robert Grove - LoveToKnow 1911
SIR WILLIAM ROBERT GROVE (1811-1896), English judge and man of science, was born on the 11th of July 1811 at Swansea, South Wales.
In the same year he received a Royal medal from the Royal Society for his Bakerian lecture on "Certain phenomena of voltaic ignition and the decomposition of water into its constituent gases." In 1866 he presided over the British Association at its Nottingham meeting and delivered an address on the continuity of natural phenomena.
But while he was thus engaged in scientific research, his legal work was not neglected, and his practice increased so greatly that in 1853 he became a Q.C. One of the best-known cases in which he appeared as an advocate was that of William Palmer, the Rugeley poisoner, whom he defended.
