Chief Justice of the Cape Colony
Position in British Cape Colony legal system (1827–1910) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chief justice of the Cape Colony was the most senior judge in the British Cape colony and the head of its Supreme Court. The office was created by the 1827 Charter of Justice, by which the colonial government overhauled the administration of justice at the Cape, and ceased to exist in 1910 upon the creation of the Union of South Africa.[1][2][3]
