William Dalison

Sir William Dalison (died 1559) was an English judge who served as a Member of Parliament for Lincolnshire in 1553.

His descendants eventually settled in Kent, and were represented in the female line in the 19th century by Maximilian Hammond Dalison of Hamptons, near Tunbridge.

[1] Dalison compiled a collection of cases decided during the reigns of Edward VI and Philip and Mary (Harley MS 5141).

His so-called ‘Reports’ were published in the same volume with some by Serjeant William Benloe in 1689;[3] but the greater portion of those attributed to Dalison were decided after his death.

[1] J. H. Baker writing in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography comments that for the period 1546 to 1558 Dalison's cases are hard to separate from those of Richard Harpur.
