Arnold Muir Wilson

He built up a large practice in Sheffield, usually representing the defence at the Police Court, against Arthur Neal.

[2] In 1891, Wilson objected to an attack on him in the Sheffield Anarchist, and successfully sued its editor, John Creaghe, for libel.

[3] In 1898, Wilson was appointed as an honorary consul for Serbia, and he attempted to use the position to promote British trade with the nation.

[1] When Lib-Lab councillor Charles Hobson appeared to have received a bribe for making a favourable land deal, Wilson brought a private prosecution against him.

[9] Later in the month, he sued the Conservative candidate for assault on the election night, and for damage to his bowler hat,[10] but the case was dismissed before he was able to give evidence.
