SIR John Jardine

Knight, I.C.S. 1885-1897

Sir John Jardine, I.C.S. : Sir John Jardine was a very able and independent I.C.S. Judge. He was a great student of English history, constitution and jurisprudence, as well as English, classical and oriental litratures. Jardine's independence and courageous advocacy of freedom of speech and liberty of the press cost him dear. When Mr. Birdwood retired as Member of Council, Jardine was passed over, and Ollivant from the Exective side of the I.C.S. was appointed to fill the vacancy. Jardine immediately resigned and sailed for England.
