Lords Chief Justice in the cabinet
I have noticed two occasions when the Lord Chief Justice was in the
cabinet. Are there any others?
Lord Mansfield, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 8 November
1756 to 4 June 1788, was a member of Pitt's cabinet after 1783. [Any
more precise details of this?]
Lord Ellenborough, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 12
April 1802 to 29 October 1818, was a member of the cabinet - the
'Ministry of All the Talents' - from 30 January 1806 to 25 March 1807.
