He was educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1860. He was called to the bar in 1861, and was made a Q.C. in 1889. In 1890 he was raised to the bench of the Queen's Bench division, in 1891 was transferred to the Bankruptcy division, and in 1897 became a lord justice of appeal.
