Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C.is an apocryphal commercial silk, once a leading light of the courts of chancery but these days a little past his finest moments, who nonetheless features in many of the Jolly Contrarian’s favourite cases. Sir Jerrold grew up on a plantation on the outskirts of old Bombay, fought in the Boer War, and found his commercial feet acting for the managers of the Slavenburg Bank. Often crossed swords with the then Master of the Rolls, Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R.
