Peerage Disadvantage Alters Bernard Coleridge Career
Bernard Coleridge, newly gassed to the bench with a £25,000 yearly income and a £15,000 pension, faced a conflict between peerage and legal practice. He contended with the historic rule that inherited peerage cannot be renounced, risking his seat in Parliament and his lucrative law work, before a court allowed him to continue practice except in Lords chambers. The saga echoed family scandals and linked him to the late Lord Chief Justice Coleridge and other notable figures.
