English judge Not to be confused with the writer Robert Charles Dallas ( 1754-1824 ) or Sir Robert Charles Dallas , 2nd Baronet ( 1804-1874 ) . Sir Robert Dallas , PC , SL KC ( 16 October 1756 - 25 December 1824 ) was an English judge , of a Scottish family . Life and career Robert Dallas was born at St Michael 's , Cornhill , London . He and his brother George were educated first at James Elphinston 's school in Kensington , and then in Geneva , by the pastor Chauvet . He entered Lincoln 's Inn on 4 November 1777 . During this period , he honed his facility of oratory at the public debates in Coachmaker 's Hall , where he was known for his extensive general knowledge and his politeness . Called to the bar on 6 November 1782 , Dallas soon built a considerable practice , and specialized in parliamentary and privy council cases . In 1783 , he was retained as junior counsel by the British East India Company to challenge the East India Bill . Dallas 's most notable accomplishment , perhaps , was to come in 1787 , when he served as junior counsel for the defence in the Impeachment of Warren Hastings . Hasting 's defence , led by Edward Law and seconded by Dallas and Thomas Plumer , formed a particularly able and harmonious legal team , and many of his contemporaries praised Dallas 's exertions during the seven-year case . Hastings was exonerated in 1795 , and Dallas took silk on 2 March 1795 and was elected a bencher of Lincoln 's Inn on 23 April 1795 . Dallas continued to enjoy an active practice , receiving numerous briefs to assist parliamentary committees in investigating disputed elections . He briefly entered the House of Commons himself from 1802 until 1805 as Member of Parliament for the rotten borough of Mitchell , resigning in February 1805 to accept the office of Chief Justice of Chester . He re-entered Parliament in March , representing Dysart Burghs , but left that seat in 1806 . While little active in the Commons , he was considered a useful supporter of Addington . From 1806 until 1808 , he led the defence of General Thomas Picton , and while he failed to obtain Picton 's acquittal in his first trial , he was able to compel a retrial and secure a special verdict for him . He was retained by the Jamaican merchants and planters in 1807 to challenge the Slave Trade Act 1807 , but without success . Dallas did not neglect his judicial duties in Chester , during this period . He retained the position until 1813 , when he resigned it to become Solicitor General on 6 May 1813 , and was knighted on 19 May 1813 . Towards the end of the year , he was made a serjeant-at-law and was made a puisne justice of the Court of Common Pleas on 18 November 1813 , replacing Sir Vicary Gibbs , promoted to the Exchequer . In 1817 , he was a member of the special commission which tried the leaders of the Pentrich Rising . He was appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and was sworn of the Privy Council on 19 November 1818 . He headed , with Lord Chief Justice Charles Abbott , the special commission that tried the Cato Street conspirators in 1820 , and presided over the trial of James Ings . In that year , the two also headed the judges attending the consideration of the Pains and Penalties Bill 1820 to advise the House of Lords on points of law . He retired on grounds of ill health at the end of 1823 , and died in London on 25 December 1824 . Dallas was celebrated as both a barrister and a judge , for his command of the law , his clarity of statement , and his gracious and pleasing manners in both offices . In private , he enjoyed a " puckish " sense of humor , and his widow published a collection of his " Poetical Trifles " after his death . These include his famous epigram on Edmund Burke , his opponent in the trial of Hastings : Oft have I wonder 'd why on Irish ground No poisonous reptile ever yet was found ; Reveal 'd the secret stands of Nature 's work , — She saved her venom to create a Burke . Dallas was married first , on 11 August 1788 , to Charlotte Jardine , daughter of Alexander Jardine , by whom he had one son and one daughter ; she died on 17 October 1792 . On 10 September 1802 , he married Giustina Davidson , by whom he had five daughters and who survived him . |
