William Conrad Reeves
Sir William Conrad Reeves (Saint Joseph, Barbados 1838 – Barbados 8 January 1902),〔REEVES, Hon. Sir William Conrad’, Who Was Who, A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 1920–2007; online edn, Oxford University Press, Dec 2007〕 was an important nineteenth century lawyer, academic and legal figure on the island of Barbados.
==Biography==
Reeves was born in Barbados, the son of Thomas Phillipps Reeves and Peggy Phyllis.〔 He represented Saint Joseph in the Barbados House of Assembly in Bridgetown, and brought himself to notice. He was aided by funds collected by the coloured community to finance a stay in the United Kingdom, where he entered Middle Temple, leaving as a barrister in 1863. On his return to the West Indies he became Attorney general of St Vincent, and was appointed Solicitor-General of Barbados in 1875. From 1882 to 1886 he was Attorney General of Barbados, and in 1883 he was admitted to the Queen's Counsel.
He became the first black Chief Justice of Barbados from 1886 until his death, a major achievement in the legal system at this time in the politics of the West Indies. In 1889 he was knighted by Queen Victoria, the first black man to receive this honour.〔
