Roger Acherley : ウィキペディア英語版 | Roger Acherley Roger Acherley (ca. 1665–1740) was an English lawyer, constitutional writer and politician. ==Biography== He was the son and heir of John Acherley of Stanwardine, or Stottesden, Shropshire, where he was the representative of a long-established family. Acherley was admitted a student of the Inner Temple on 6 March 1685, and called to the bar on 24 May 1691 (Inner Temple Register). He married Elizabeth, only daughter of Richard Vernon, Esq., of Hanbury, Worcestershire, and sister of Thomas Vernon, a celebrated lawyer, known especially for his ''Reports'', posthumously published, on the ‘Cases argued and adjudged in the High Court of Chancery.’ For some years Acherley was engaged in disputing the will of Thomas Vernon, who died in 1721. The case was finally given against Acherley, on an appeal before the House of Lords, on 4 February 1725. Acherley was probably the first person who, in 1712, advised the moving of the writ for bringing over the electoral prince, afterward George II, to take his place in the House of Lords as Duke of Cambridge; but the intrigues in which he indulged for the furtherance of this object were cut short by the death of Queen Anne on August 1, 1714. Thereafter he pressed Barons Leibnitz and Bothmer for professional advancement in recognition of his admitted services to the house of Hanover. Down to 1731, however, he met with no substantial reward, and he appears to have passed his later years as an obscure and disappointed man. He died on Wednesday, 16 April 1740 at his house in Greenwich.
