Raymond Hinchcliffe
Sir George Raymond Hinchcliffe (2 March 1900 – 6 September 1973) was a British barrister and was a High Court judge from 1957 to 1973.[1] He was appointed KC in 1947.[2] He was knighted on 1 February 1957.[3]
During the trial, the judge, Mr. Justice Hinchcliffe—who at one point described Oluwale as "a dirty, filthy, violent vagrant"—directed the jury to find the defendants not guilty of manslaughter, perjury and assaults occasioning grievous bodily harm.[26][27][28][29] The jury returned unanimous verdicts of guilty relating to four assaults which took place between August 1968 and February 1969. Ellerker was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and Kitching to 27 months.[30][31]
Marriage[edit]
He married golfing pioneer Poppy Wingate (1902–1977) on 10 May 1940, and had two step-children.[2]
