Joshua Williams (legal writer)
Joshua Williams (1813–1881) was an English barrister, with a reputation made as a legal author in the field of property law.
==Life==
He was the fifth son and seventh child of Thomas Williams of Cote, Aston, Oxfordshire, born on 23 May 1813. He was educated at a private school, and afterwards at London University. At the age of 19 he was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn on 31 January 1833. After practising for two or three years under the bar as a certificated conveyancer, he was called to the bar on 4 May 1838.
The publication of his books brought Williams an extensive practice as a conveyancer and real property lawyer, and in March 1862 he was appointed by Lord Westbury, the Lord Chancellor, one of the four conveyancing counsel to the court of chancery. His health suffered from the strain of increasing work. He was made a Queen's Counsel on 30 March 1865, and during Easter term, on 20 April following, was elected a bencher of Lincoln's Inn. As a Q.C. he became a series of cases relating to the establishment of rights of common;〔Such as the ''Commissioners of Sewers v. Glasse'' (more commonly known as the Epping Forest case), ''Lord Rivers v. Adams'', ''Warwick v. Queen's College, Oxford'' (the Plumstead Common case), ''Hall v. Byron'' (the Coulsdon Common case), ''Smith v. Earl Brownlow'' (the Berkhampstead case), ''Peek v. Earl Spencer'' (the Wimbledon case), ''Earl De la Warr v. Miles'' (the Sussex Forest case).〕 it included most of the cases in which there was an attempt by lords of manors to wrest from commoners the enjoyment of their rights.〔
In 1875 Williams was appointed professor of the law of real and personal property to the Inns of Court by the council of legal education, and was annually re-elected to this office until his resignation in 1880. He died at his residence, 49 Queensborough Terrace, London, on 25 October 1881.〔
