"SIR ROLAND LOMAX BOWDLER VAUGHAN WILLIAMS (1838-1916), English judge, was born in London Dec. 31 1838, the fifth son of the Rt. Hon. Sir Edward Vaughan Williams. He was educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1860. He was called to the bar in 1861, and was made a Q.C. in 1889. In 1890 he was raised to the bench of the Queen's Bench division, in 1891 was transferred to the Bankruptcy division, and in 1897 became a lord justice of appeal. In 1906 Vaughan Williams was appointed chairman of the royal commission on the disestablishment of the Church in Wales. He retired from the bench in 1914, and died at Abinger, Dorking, Dec. 8 1916. His book The Law and Practice of Bankruptcy (1870; latest ed. 1915) is a leading authority.
