Biography
Sir Henry Davison (16 March 1805 – 4 November 1860) was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Madras from 1859 to 1860.
The fourth son of Thomas and Catherine Davison, of St Bride's, City of London, Davison was educated at Trinity College, Oxford (B.A. 1829, M.A. 1834), and called to the Bar from the Middle Temple in 1834.
Having been a puisne judge at Madras (sworn in 16 March 1857), Davison was appointed Chief Justice in March 1859, but did not serve for long, dying at Ootacamund on 4 November 1860. William Makepeace Thackeray affectionately dedicated his historical novel The Virginians (published from 1857 to 1859) to Davison.
Davison was married and had issue; his daughter, Emily Jane, married in 1864 the organist Philip Armes.
