On thick paper, 210 x 340 mm. Writs are issued at the start of each Parliament. Sir Horace Edmund Avory [1851 - 1935] was a barrister and High Court judge involved in many sensational trials of the time including Sir Roger Casement and Oscar Wilde. He became a household name as the most dreaded "hanging judge" of his age. He was called "thin-lipped, cold, utterly unemotional, silent, and humourless, and relentless towards lying witnesses and brutal criminals" and "impervious to bluff and merciless to perjury". He was nicknamed "The Acid Drop" in legal circles, due to his caustic wit in court.
