Sir Frank Clement Offley Beaman (1858–1928), styled Mr Justice Beaman, was a puisne judge in the High Court, Bombay.
[1] Born on 27 November 1858, in Hoshangabad, India, where his father was an assistant surgeon in the Indian Medical Service,[2] Frank Beaman was educated at Bedford School and at The Queen's College, Oxford.
He entered the Indian Civil Service in 1879 and was appointed as an assistant judge in 1885.
[3] Sir Frank Beaman was one of the directors of the Bombay Gazette.
In 1911, Sir Pherozeshah Mehta and Benjamin Horniman attempted to purchase the Bombay Gazette, to counteract the influence of The Times of India and to give a voice to Indian nationalists, but their attempts were thwarted by Sir Frank Beaman, leading Mehta to establish a separate newspaper, The Bombay Chronicle, in 1913.
