Abstract

[During Queen Victoria’s reign, the British Raj provided employment for a marvellously wide range of expatriates. Among them was a barrister, Matthew Henry Starling, who was called to the bar in London in 1863, went to India in 1868, and spent the rest of his legal career in Bombay. There he served first as an advocate, and in 1887 was made clerk to the crown court for the rest of his life. On two occasions he was acting (“puisne”) high court judge (in 1895 and 1902) and wrote a standard textbook, Indian Criminal Law and Procedure, in 1869, which ran to five editions. It seems curious that a man with such a grasp of Indian law should only have been a locum, a standby, judge. He also seemed to be a stand-by husband; for in 1864 he married Ellen Matilda Watkins, of Islington, and left for India four years later, leaving her in Islington. His post allowed him ajourney home every three years, but his absence didn’t stop this enterprising couple from producing seven children over eleven years; six of the children were born in Islington and one in Bombay. How often did Ellen sail to India? We are unlikely to discover, but Theodora (born in 1865), Ernest Henry (1866), Gertrude (1867), Bernard (1869), Mabel (1872), Hubert (1874), and Bertha (1876) bore witness to the success of their parents’ social arrangements.]
