  • Dr. William Ebenezer Grigsby (3 April 1847 - 11 August 1899) was a jurist and local politician. Born in Chelmsford, Essex, he was the son of of David Grigsby, a schoolmaster and Congregational minister and his wife Catherine (or Kate) née Savell. Following education at Chelmsford Grammar School he studied law: he received a BA from the University of London in 1866, an MA from the University of Glasgow in 1867, and a Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) degree from Baliol College, Oxford in 1873. From 1874-1879 he was professor of Law at the University of Tokyo. He returned to England and the University of London where he graduated as a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in 1879 and a Doctor of Laws (LLD) in 1880. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1881, and was the author of a number of books on law. When the first elections to the London County Council were held in January 1889, Grigsby, by then resident in Holloway, was nominated a candidate by the Liberal-backed Progressive Party to contest the Islington North division. He was comfortably elected along with his party colleague, William Coulson Parkinson. He was re-elected in 1892. At the general election of 1892 he was chosen by the Liberal Party to contest the Chelmsford constituency, but failed to be elected. In November 1893 he resigned from the London County Council on his appointment as a district judge in Cyprus. The appointment was somewhat controversial, as it was alleged by the Conservatives that he was the director of a company that had been forced into receivership by reckless trading. He died suddenly in Cyprus in August 1899, aged 52, leaving an estate worth £1,000. Some information on the University of Glasgow page [1].
