William Arrindell
Sir William Arrindell CB (1796 – 27 December 1862)[1] was a British judge.
Born at the Virgin Islands, he was educated in England.[1] Arrindell worked as barrister in Georgetown[2] and in 1824, he defended John Smith in his trial.[3] Arrindell became Attorney-General of British Guiana in 1845[4] and was subsequently appointed Chief Justice of British Guiana in 1852.[5] He was created a Knight Bachelor in 1858 and was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath in the same year.[6]
He died at Demerara, aged 66, from the consequences of a fall from a staircase.[3] His funeral procession stretched for half a mile and was the greatest British Guiana had seen so far.[3]
