George Tuck (cricketer)
George Hustler Tuck (28 April 1843 – 13 December 1920) was an English lawyer and a cricketer who played in 18 first-class cricket matches between 1863 and 1876, most of them for Cambridge University and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). He was born and died at Norwich, Norfolk. Tuck was educated at Eton College and at Trinity College, Cambridge. He was in the Eton cricket team as a right-handed middle-order batsman in both the 1861 and 1862 Eton v Harrow matches. In his first match for Cambridge University in 1863, he also kept wicket, but that does not appear to have been a regular job, and he was merely an opening batsman in the 1863 University Match against Oxford University, his only other first-class match that season. In all, he appeared four times in the University Match, and was unsuccessful on each occasion, Cambridge losing all four games. His greatest success as a batsman came in consecutive games against MCC and Surrey in 1865 in which he played two separate innin ...

Justice Of The Peace
A justice of the peace (JP) is a judicial officer of a lower or ''puisne'' court, elected or appointed by means of a commission ( letters patent) to keep the peace. In past centuries the term commissioner of the peace was often used with the same meaning. Depending on the jurisdiction, such justices dispense summary justice or merely deal with local administrative applications in common law jurisdictions. Justices of the peace are appointed or elected from the citizens of the jurisdiction in which they serve, and are (or were) usually not required to have any formal legal education in order to qualify for the office. Some jurisdictions have varying forms of training for JPs. History In 1195, Richard I ("the Lionheart") of England and his Minister Hubert Walter commissioned certain knights to preserve the peace in unruly areas. They were responsible to the King in ensuring that the law was upheld and preserving the " King's peace". Therefore, they were known as "keepers of th ...

Barrister
A barrister is a type of lawyer in common law jurisdictions. Barristers mostly specialise in courtroom advocacy and litigation. Their tasks include taking cases in superior courts and tribunals, drafting legal pleadings, researching law and giving expert legal opinions. Barristers are distinguished from both solicitors and chartered legal executives, who have more direct access to clients, and may do transactional legal work. It is mainly barristers who are appointed as judges, and they are rarely hired by clients directly. In some legal systems, including those of Scotland, South Africa, Scandinavia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and the British Crown dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, the word ''barrister'' is also regarded as an honorific title. In a few jurisdictions, barristers are usually forbidden from "conducting" litigation, and can only act on the instructions of a solicitor, and increasingly - chartered legal executives, who perform tasks such ...
