 JOHN WILSON was b: 11 Apr 1785 in

to be viewed. John Wilson was a Judge of the courts of Brecknockshire and
Glamorganshire and Recorder of Carmarthen from 1848 to 1851. He lived at
Cwmffrwd House, Llandyfaelog, Carmarthenshire.
John Wilson, Esq, son of William Wilson , was a
lawyer, Barrister at Law and a member of the Middle Temple from 3 May
1811. During most of his career (1812-1846) Mr. Wilson specialized as a
conveyancer and equity draftsman; in the latter of these categories he
would have drawn up pleadings or other documents for use in Court of
Chancery proceedings. He was involved with the "Carmarthen Circuit"
(1819-20), the "Carmarthen, Pembroke and Cardigan Great Sessions"
(1821-30), the Welsh Circuit" (1831-37) and the "South Wales Circuit"
(1838-51). England and Wales were (and are) divided into circuits for the
administration of justice, and it is clear that Mr. Wilson's practice as a
lawyer centered upon South Wales. From 1838 until 1851 he was Recorder
(acting judge) of Carmarthen; and from 1847 until 1851 he was also "Judge
of the County Court in circuit no. 30'", i.e. Judge of the County Court
that included within its jurisdiction Cardiff and Swansea.
