 1546645838,
London: Bennett Brothersm, 1881. 12mo. Original wraps. 8pp. Henry Crompton, 1836-1904 , was the son of Sir Charles Crompton and Caroline Fletcher. He married, in 1870, Lucy Henrietta Romilly, daughter of Sir John Romilly, Baron Romilly and had issue two sons, Paul Crompton and David Crompton. Henry and Lucy were probably introduced by their two fathers who were both Queen Victoria's Commissioners for continuing the Chancery Inquiry of the Ecclesiastical and other Courts. Sir John Crompton was a Justice of the Court of Queens Bench and this background must have led to Henry becoming a barrister. Henry Crompton is recorded as being a Barrister and Positivist. The Positivists played a leading role in the UK in legitimising the role of trade unionism in law. His contempories in this cause were the Positivist intellectuals, A.J. Mundella, Edward Spencer Beesly, Frederick Harrison and Godfrey Lushington. Henry Crompton was the legal adviser to the Parliamentary Committee regarding the Trade Union Bill in the House of Commons. .
