Wikipedia description:
Sir John Hollams (23 September 1820− 3 May 1910) was an English solicitor. For more than 60 years he was a partner in one of London's most significant law firms and was involved in several high profile cases, including Bank of England v Vagliano Bros (1891), British South Africa Co v Companhia de Moçambique (1893), and the trial of Leander Starr Jameson and his compatriots for their actions in the Jameson Raid in 1895-1896. A President of the Law Society of England and Wales, he served on the Judicature Commission which was instrumental in drafting the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1873 and the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1875; laws that substantially restructured the legal system in Britain.
