Mr. Justice H.J. Parsons, I.C.S.,
Bar-at-Law : Mr. Justice Henry
Parsons was a very sound, independent and clear-headed Judge.
He was among the few I.C.S. judges who earned the affection and
confidence of the public and of the profession by his independence,
the fairness of his judgments, and his sympathetic attitude towards
Indians. His judgments were invariably short and to the point, entirely
free from verbiage or pedantry of any sort. It is said that the
longest judgment he gave covered only 71/2 pages of the
Law Report. On the sudden death of Chief Justice Kershaw,
he was appointed he was appointed acting Chief Justice. He acquitted
himself so creditably that various public bodies sent memorials
to Government to appoint him permanent Chief Justice.
