Sir Alured Dumbell MLC (12 January 1835[1] – 12 March 1900) was a senior judge who was Clerk of the Rolls of the Isle of Man.
[2] He was knighted in the 1899 Birthday Honours list,[3] and later the same year acted as Deputy Governor of the Isle of Man during the prolonged absence through illness of the Lieutenant-Governor Lord Henniker.
[5] That Sir Alured Dumbell was a man of great ability, but the success which he achieved in the legal profession was not so much due to the possession of any very exceptional degree of forensic acumen, but to his ready wit his practical business-like instincts, and his uncommon powers of penetration, combined with an integrity of purpose that was never absent from anything in his public career.
In the Legislature, though his work was largely confined to criticism of others, he was, nevertheless, not only an influential but a very useful member, and, on its committees, in particular he did good service.
Apart from his legal and legislative work his chief interest was in agriculture, of which he had considerable knowledge.
