The late Right Hon. J. R. Davison, M.P., Judge Advocate General, 1871. Engraving from a photograph by John Watkins. 'The late Right Hon. John Robert Davison, Q.C., and M.P. for Durham, who held, during a few months before his death, the office of Judge Advocate General, is much regretted. He had gained a high standing in the legal profession, with a large practice at the Parliamentary Bar, and at the general election of 1868 was returned for his native city, Durham...A fortnight or three weeks ago he was found dead in his bed, while staying on a visit at the house of his friend, Mr. St. George Burke, Q.C., the Anberries, near Sudbury. A Bluebook, which he had been reading in bed, lay by his side. The cause of death was proved by the inquest to be heart disease. He was buried at the parish church of Seal, Kent, near his private residence there, Under-river House. He was forty-five years of age, a widower, and has left four children'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
