Treby (george), a learned judge, was born, as Wood thinks, at or near Plympton in Devonshire in 1644, and was adrmtted a commoner of Exeter college, Oxford, in 1660. After studying some time here, he left college 'wi'thout takinga degree, as, we have repeatedly had occasion to observe, was psual with young gentlemen intended for the law; and went to the Inner Temple. After being admitted to the bar, he had much practice, and was accounted a good common lawyer. In 1678 and 1679, he sat in par liament as representative for Plympton, and in the last mentioned year was appointed chairman of the committee of secrecy for the investigation of the popish plot, and was in 1680 one of the managers in. The impeachment of lord Stafford. In December of the same year, when srr George Jeffries was dismissed from the recordership of London, Mr. Treby was elected 111 his room, and in January 1681 the king conferred on him the honour of knighthood but when the qua warranto issued, and the city charter, for which he pleaded along with Pollexfen, was withheld, he was des prived of the recordership in Oct. 1685. On the revola tion, king William restored him to this office, and he had the honour of addressing his majesty, in the absence of the lord mayor, sir John Chapman, who was confined by sick ness. His very able speech on this occasion was published in the Fourth collection of papers relating to the present juncture of affairs in England, 1688, 4m, and in Bohun's History of the Desertion, 1689, 4to. In March 1688 he was made solicitor general, and the following year attorneyfgeneral. In April 1692 he was called to the rank of serjeant, and m May following was promoted to be chief justice of the Common Pleas, on which he resigned the ofiice of recorder. This learned and upright lawyer died in March 1701-2, aged fifty-six. H1s son and grandson, of the same names, represented Plympton and Dartmouth.
