Robert Malcolm Kerr

Mr Commissioner Robert Malcolm Kerr LL.D (5 June 1821–21 November 1902), was a British judge of the late Victorian era.

[3] The written biography accompanying his 1900 Vanity Fair caricature said of him: "He administers a kind of rough and ready justice that irritates many and pleases few.

His worst faults are his inclination to decide cases when only part heard and his occasional disregard of the existing state of the Law.

For years he has successfully defied the High Court by persisting in refusal to trouble himself by taking notes of his cases.

In St. Martin's Cathedral in Utrecht, the Netherlands, he also erected a tablet in memory of his relative Robert Kerr of Kersland, a religious refugee, who had died in 1680 in that country.
