DAVEY OF FERNHURST, HORACE DAVEY, BARON (1833-1907), English judge, son of Peter Davey, of Horton, Bucks, was born on Aug. 3o, 1833, and educated at Rugby and University college, Oxford. In 1861 he was called to the bar, and in 1875 became a Q.C. In 188o he was returned to parliament as a Liberal, but lost his seat in 1885. On Gladstone's return to power in 1886 he was appointed solicitor general and was knighted, but had no seat in the House, being defeated at both Ipswich and Stockport in 1886; in 1888 he found a seat at Stock ton-on-Tees, but lost it in 1892. As an equity lawyer Sir Horace Davey ranked among the finest intellects and the most subtle pleaders ever known at the English bar. He was standing counsel to the University of Oxford, and senior counsel to the Charity Commissioners. Among the cases in which he was engaged were the Mogul Steamship Case 0892), the trial of the bishop of Lincoln, and the Berkeley Peerage case. In 1862 he married Miss Louisa Donkin, who, with two sons and four daughters, survived him. In 1893 he was raised to the bench as a lord justice of appeal, and in the next year was made a lord of appeal in ordinary and a life peer. He died in London on Feb. 20, 1907.
