Biographical history
The office of Justice of the Peace for a county is a Crown appointment made at the discretion of the Lord Chancellor, upon recommendations received from local advisory committees (such as the Middlesex Advisory Committee) which he appoints to act under the chairmanship of the Kkeeper of the Rolls. In the case of Middlesex this was the Lord Lieutenant. The names of persons whose appointment was approved by the Lord Chancellor were entered upon the commission of the peace, a parchment roll. When the names were entered the newly appointed justice took the oaths at quarter session and was then qualified to take up his or her duties. The first women justices for Middlesex were appointed in 1920.
