[4] Edward West married Lucretia ffolkes, daughter of his guardian uncle, on 26 August 1822 at Marylebone Church.

He suspended several barristers and dismissed some officers, notably William Erskine, Master in Equity, suspected of improbity (mostly taking bribes in cases).

[4] George Norton, a recently appointed Advocate General for Bombay introduced fees that were seven times that received in England.
