Arthur Phillips (1838 – 1921) was the Standing Counsel to the Government of India (1867 to 1895).[1] He delivered the 1874-5 Tagore Law Lecture on The Law Relating to The Land Tenures of Lower Bengal.
Life
[edit]Phillips was born in Cambridge, United Kingdom, the eldest son of Thomas Phillips.[2]
He took his degree at St Catharine's College, Cambridge in 1864, being 15th Wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos, and was subsequently elected to a Fellowship at the same College in 1866.[3]. He joined the Middle Temple and was called to the Bar in 1867.[2] He went to India shortly afterwards, and practised at the Calcutta Bar until 1895, and afterwards in England before the Privy Council. While in India he held the office of Standing Counsel to the Government of India, and was at one time Secretary to the Legislative Council of the Government of India. He was the author of two legal works, " The Law Relating to the Land Tenures of Lower Bengal," and (in collaboration with Sir Ernest Trevelyan) "Hindu Wills."[4]
He acted in the role of Advocate-General of Bengal in 1882, and again from 1884 to 1885.[5]
