William Henry Gale (1829 – February 12, 1899)[1][2][3] was an associate justice of the Colorado Territorial Supreme Court from June 10, 1865, to July 19, 1866.
[6] It appears that Gale was examined and found to possess the qualifications required for admission to the bar in New York in September 1849.
[12] In June 1865, Gale and Charles F. Holly were jointly appointed to the Colorado Territorial Supreme Court by President Andrew Johnson,[13][14][15] and subsequently confirmed by the United States Senate.
[1] By 1890, it was reported that "ex-Judge William H. Gale" had headed an unsuccessful opposition ticket in the Republican primary election for leadership of Brooklyn's Twenty-fifth Ward.
[17] In July 1891, Gale was "busily engaged... as a referee under appointment from Judge Pratt" taking testimony in the child custody case of a wealthy New York family.
