Name

Deemster Edward Christian

Biography

Kinsman of Illiam Dhone. Walked out of the trial rather than participate — 'Edward Christian his son and assistant had also forborne to sit.' Restored to his judicial office by the King's command after the Privy Council intervened. The King who could not save the man's life could at least restore the judge who had refused to be complicit in taking it.
