Edward Clive (judge)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Edward Clive (1704 — 16 April 1771) was a British politician and judge. Born in 1704 to Edward Clive and Sara Key, he joined Lincoln's Inn in 1719 and matriculated to University College, Oxford three years later. In 1725 he was called to the Bar, and after practise as a barrister became Member of Parliament for Mitchell in 1741. Four years later he was made a Baron of the Exchequer, succeeding Laurence Carter, and in 1753 became a Justice of the Common Pleas after the death of Thomas Burnet. Clive retired in February 1770, with Sir William Blackstone taking his place, and died on 16 April 1771.^[1]
