There was a Judge James Manning (1781-1866), Serjeant at Law of Lincoln's Inn. He revived an old dignity of Queens Ancient Serjeant, which allowed him to sit in the House of Lords, but not to vote. He was judge of the New Whitechapel County Court. His London home was 44 Philmore Gardens, Kensington.

I will add the original bookplate (illustrated) at no extra cost.
