He was Recorder of Romsey until 1834, and was Recorder of Oxford from March 1834 until his death the following year. John Ingram Lockhart, of Shorfield House, near Rumsey, Hampshire, and Great Haseley House, Oxfordshire, was the youngest son of three children of James Lockhart of Melchett Park, Wiltshire, and London, (a partner in Lockhart, Wallace, and Co., bankers, Pall Mall) – himself a descendant of the old Scottish family of that name, and on the female side from the sister of Oliver Cromwell (Miss Gray, a member of the Society of Friends). John's mother was Mary Harriot Lockhart. John was baptised on 3 October 1765 at St Dunstan-in-the-East, London. His eldest brother was James Lockhart (1763–1852) an Etonian and Astronomer. Like his brother, John apparently stood for Eton College in 1779, but similarly unsuccessful instead went up to University College, Oxford under the tutelage of Edward Hawtrey (1741–1803) and he matriculated on 5 May 1783, aged 17, created Doctor of Civil Law (D.C.L.) on 14 June 1820, entered Lincoln's Inn 7 May 1783, bar. at law 14 June 1790, and went the Oxford circuit, of which he became a distinguished member having in his possession a great retentiveness of memory. He was married on 14 January 1804 to Mary Gilkes-Wastie, the only child and heir of Francis Wastie of Cowley (d.1775), and Great-Haseley House, and took the name of Wastie in lieu of Ingram-Lockhart by Act of Parliament 12 October 1831. Previously, in 1827, he purchased 210 acres in North-Marston, Buckingham belonging to yeoman William Flower, previously the property of Charles and Richard Watkins, of Daventry, Northampton (who held that estate in 1775). He unsuccessfully contested Oxford 1802, 1806, 1818, and 1830, but represented it 1807–18, and 1820–30. He was Recorder of Romsey until October 1834, appointed Deputy Recorder of Oxford to Sir William Elias Taunton (1773–1835) in 1830, and succeeded that distinguished Judge as Recorder of Oxford March 1835, but died at Great Haseley, Oxfordshire, England on 13 August following, aged 70. ==References== *Austen-Leigh, Richard Arthur.
