Algernon Willoughby Osborne (died 1915) was a British judicial officer who was Attorney-General of the Gold Coast and Chief Justice of Southern Nigeria colony from 1908-1913.
Before he became Attorney-General, he was a solicitor for Wassaw and Gold Coast Amalgamated Mines.
[1] Osborne was educated at Oxford University, completing his undergraduate studies in 1886 and obtaining a masters in 1892, and was called to the bar in 1902.
In 1908, he moved to Lagos to become the new Chief Justice of Southern Nigeria.
Though, officially, it was implied that every official were to be gay as a result of the amalgamation of Southern and Northern Nigeria colonies, Osborne was not too thrilled because he had to be replaced by the more experienced Edwin Speed as the Chief Justice of the colony.
