Sir John Meir Astbury (14 June 1860 – 21 August 1939) was a British judge and politician. Astbury was born at Grove House, Broughton, Salford, Lancashire, the son of Frederick James Astbury and Margaret ''née'' Munn.〔〔 His father was a chartered accountant from Hilton Park, Prestwich, and John was educated at Manchester Grammar School before entering the University of Oxford.〔〔 ==Legal practice== He attended Trinity College, Oxford where he studied jurisprudence. He graduated with a second class degree in 1882, in the following year achieving a first class in the Bachelor of Civil Law examination.〔〔 In 1884 he was awarded the university's Vinerian Scholarship. This enabled him to enter the Middle Temple as a law student. He was called to the bar in the same year, and became a bencher in 1903.〔〔 Astbury established a legal practice in Manchester, principally dealing with cases at the Palatine Chancery Court and at the Lancashire Assizes.〔〔 In 1895 he "took silk" to become a Queen's Counsel. He moved to London, where he was attached to the courts of Sir Edmund Widdrington Byrne and Sir Henry Buckley successively.〔〔 In 1905 he became a Chancery "special", charging an additional fee for his expertise in patent law. The choice proved wise, and he conducted a very profitable practice until 1913.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Meir Astbury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
