of Mr. J. F. P. Rawlinson, M.P.—CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY VACANCY
"Mr. John Frederick Peel Rawlinson, K.C., the
senior Unionist member for Cambridge University,
who recently conducted the Shepherd police inquiry, died in the Temple on
Thursday.
"The son of a Chief Justice of Madras, Mr. Rawlinson
completed his 65th year just before Christmas. He was called to the Bar in
1884, and in 1896 he represented the Treasury in South Africa in the
investigation of the causes of the Jameson Raid, his services being
recognised a year later, when he was given silk. He was appointed Recorder
of Cambridge in 1898, and two years later became Commissary of the
University.
"Mr. Rawlinson's first attempt to enter Parliament was made
in 1900, when he unsuccessfully contested Ipswich in the Unionist
interest. At the next General Election, in 1906, he was elected for
Cambridge University, which he had represented for the past 20 years. For
the last two years he had as his colleague in the representation of the
University Sir Geoffrey Butler. At the last election they were opposed by
an Independent. In his younger days he played football, and was a
well-known goalkeeper."

"In the year 1860 the late Sir C. Rawlinson,
on the conclusion of the
nine years' term of his discharge of the duties of the office of Chief
Justice of Madras, conferred on the fortunate world the service of
becoming the father of Mr. John Frederick Peel Rawlinson. After a
childhood of an uncommon liveliness, Mr. Rawlinson was sent to Eton; and
at that ancient seat of learning he husbanded his power of work with so
able a discreetness that he was never suspected of the possession of that
abounding mental energy which his later career has so continuously
displayed. On the other hand, he set about acquiring that skill in shooting
which has made it his solace for three and thirty years, and that skill in
football which later led to his representing England gallantly in the
International games, and made him a leading member of the Association
Football Committee. On leaving Eton for Trinity College, Cambridge, he
began to give his mental energy full play, and addressed himself to the
study of law with that keenness which has distinguished him in all the
pursuits which have excited his interest. On leaving Cambridge with the
degree of LL.B., after taking a First Class in the Law Tripos, and
becoming a Prizeman in Common Law, he became the most distinguished pupil
of Mr. Justice Bray, and in the year 1884 was called to the Bar. As a
Cambridge man he naturally joined the South-Eastern Circuit, and varied
the practice of his profession by acting as Lecturer and Examiner in Law
at Pembroke College, Cambridge. In the years 1891 and 1892 he represented
the University of Cambridge in the famous Spinning House trials; and in
1896 he represented the Treasury in the inquiry, in South Africa, as to
the circumstances of the Jameson Raid. That gave him the opportunity of
making the acquaintance of President Kruger, and in spite of Mr.
Rawlinson's staunch Imperialism they were presently on the friendliest
terms. In the year 1897 Mr. Rawlinson took silk, and in 1898 succeeded Mr.
J. R. Bulwer as Recorder of Cambridge. Soon afterwards he began to seek to
combine politics with the practice of law, and in 1900 contested
Ipswich, without success, in the Conservative interest. In the same year
he was appointed Commissary of Cambridge University, a post which he has
held ever since. In the year 1906 he was elected Unionist Member of
Parliament for Cambridge
University in 1906. To the discharge of his Parliamentary duties he
brought the extraordinary keenness he has always displayed in his
profession. He opposed the Education Bill clause by clause in many
speeches; he conducted the opposition to the Criminal Appeal Act; and he
was one of the gallant and strenuous thirty who saw the last,
long-drawn-out session to the bitter end. His avocations, legal and
political, pursued with so strenuous a keenness, the calls upon him
arising from the wide popularity his geniality has won him, have never
left him time to marry; but such is his dignified fortitude that he
contrives to speak of the holy estate of matrimony he has failed to attain
without tears either in his eyes or voice."
