From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Philip Crampton Smyly was appointed Chief Justice of the Gold Coast (today's Ghana) on 14 September 1911. The Governor at the time of his appointment was Sir James Thorburn, but most of his career in the Gold Coast was under two Governors of unusual qualities, Sir Hugh Clifford (1912-1919) and Sir Gordon Guggisberg (1919-1927).
