John Romilly, 1st Baron Romilly PC (20

January 1802 – 23 December 1874), known as Sir John Romilly between

1848 and 1866, was an English Whig politician

and judge. He served in Lord John as Solicitor-General from

1848 to 1850 and as Attorney-General from

1850 and 1851. The latter year he was appointed Master of the Rolls, a

post he held until 1873. Knighted in 1848, he was ennobled as Baron Romilly in

1866. Romilly was born in London, the second son of Sir Samuel Romilly and Anne, daughter of daughter of

Francis Garbett, of Knill Court, Herefordshire. Frederick Romilly was his younger brother.[1] He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge,

and was called to the Bar at Gray's Inn, in 1827.

Romilly

first entered Parliament in

1832 as member for Bridport,

holding the seat from 1832 to 1835 and again from 1846 to 1847. In 1843 he

became a Queen's Counsel. He was

elected Member of Parliament for Devonport in

1847, and was 1848 in Lord John Russell's

administration, being promoted to Attorney-General in

1850. In 1851 he was appointed Master of the Rolls, and

continued to sit for Devonport till the general

election in 1852, when he was defeated. He was the last Master

of the Rolls to sit in Parliament. Romilly was raised to the peerage as Baron

Romilly, of Barry in the County of Glamorgan, in

1866, and retired from the mastership of the rolls in 1873. He did much to

remove the restrictions which had long hampered research among the public

records and state papers. Lord Romilly married Caroline Charlotte, daughter of

the Right Reverend William Otter, in 1833. They

had several children. She died in December 1856. Lord Romilly died in London on

23 December 1874, aged 72, and was succeeded in the barony his eldest son,

William.[1] He is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.
