Jerome Alexander
Sir Jerome Alexander (c.1590–1670) was an English-born barrister, judge and politician who spent much of his career in Ireland, (after he had been professionally ruined in England), and became a substantial Irish landowner. He was a noted benefactor of Trinity College Dublin. As a judge he was so ruthless in securing guilty verdicts, and in imposing the death penalty, that for many years "to be alexandered" was an Irish synonym for being hanged.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221–1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol.1 p.282〕
==Early career==
He was born at Gressenhall in Norfolk, the eldest son of Jerome Alexander senior of Thorpland, an employee of Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel; the younger Jerome was also employed for a time as steward and bailiff to the Earl, and remained on friendly terms with him in later life. Ball states that the family were said to be of Jewish origin.〔Ball p.348〕 He was educated at Aylsham school and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he matriculated in 1609.〔''Biographical Dictionary of Gonville and Caius College 1349–1895'' (1897) Vol.1 p.203
〕 He entered Furnivall's Inn and then proceeded to Lincoln's Inn in 1617, and was called to the bar in 1623.〔Ball p.348〕
