- LEVIN SMITH, SIR ARCHIBALD
- LEVIN SMITH, SIR ARCHIBALD (1836–1901), British judge. Levin
Smith was the son of a gentile landowner. His mother was the daughter of
a Polish Jewish immigrant, Zadik Levin. Educated at Cambridge, where he
was a successful athlete, he became a barrister in 1856 and a judge of
the Queen's Bench in 1883, when he was knighted. He was one of the two
judges who presided over the criminal allegations made in the
Times newspaper about Charles Stewart Parnell, the Irish
Nationalist leader, which made him the center of national attention.
Levin Smith served as a judge of the Court of Appeals from 1892 until
1900, when he was appointed Master of the Rolls, one of the three most
senior British judicial positions. Suffering ill health, he was forced
to resign after only a year and died shortly afterwards.
