Peter Townsend Barlow (July 21, 1857 – May 9, 1921) was an American jurist who served as a New York City Magistrate for nearly two decades.
==Early Life and Career==
Peter T. Barlow was born at New York City to Samuel Latham Mitchell Barlow and the former Alice Cornell Townsend. His father was a prominent New York Wall Street attorney who frequently represented the interest of the American railroad industry. Barlow’s grandfather was Samuel Bancroft Barlow, a noted American physician.〔America's successful men of affairs: An encyclopedia of contemporaneous ... edited by Henry Hall (1895)〕
Barlow attended Harvard College and graduated with the Class of 1879; receiving his law degree two years later from Columbia Law School. After his admittance to the New York Bar, Barlow became managing clerk for his father's law firm, Shipman, Barlow, Larocque & Choate.〔The Harvard graduates' magazine, Volume 30 By William Roscoe Thayer, William Richards Castle, Mark Antony De Wolfe Howe, Arthur Stanwood Pier, Bernard Augustine De Voto, Theodore Morrison (1922)〕〔The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography: (1893)〕 Barlow left the firm not long after the death of his father in 1889.〔America's successful men of affairs: An encyclopedia of contemporaneous ... edited by Henry Hall (1895)〕
In 1895 Barlow was elected to the Board of Directors of the Sterling Mountain Railway Co. and in 1902 was chosen by New York Mayor Seth Low to fill out the term of City Magistrate Willard H. Olmstead after the latter’s appointed to the Court of Special Sessions. Though he still had some years left on his appointment, the following year, Mayor Low named Barlow to a full ten-year term as magistrate. Barlow went on to be reappointed to a second ten-year term by Mayor William Jay Gaynor and serve as president of the Board of City Magistrates for three terms. For a number of years Barlow presided over the Women’s Night Court located in Lower Manhattan,〔The Lawyer and banker and Bench and Bar Review (1913) by Charles E. George〕 and as president of the Florence Crittenton League, a reformatory primarily for prostitutes and unwed mothers.〔Brooklyn daily eagle almanac, Volume 32 By American Almanac Collection (Library of Congress) - 1917〕 Peter T. Barlow often chose to sentence women convicted of prostitution or petty thefts to workhouses or reformatories in the belief that it would weaken their ties with the men who controlled them.〔City Club Bulletin; Issued by the City Club of Philadelphia: Volume 5 - Page 171 (1913)〕
