Meet Judge Begbie
Matthew Baillie Begbie was born in 1819 to Scottish parents. He lived in a number of places as a young man, including England, Mauritis (an island nation in the southern hemisphere), and in the South of France, before getting his first university degree at Cambridge. He went to law school at Lincon's Inn in London, where he became a lawyer and started his own law firm in 1844.
