of the See also:Common See also:Law See also:Procedure See also:Commission, which resulted in the Common Law Procedure See also:Act of 1852
.
This act he drafted jointly with his friend Mr (afterwards Mr See also:Justice) Willes, and thus began the abolition of the See also:system of See also:special See also:pleading
.
In 1851 See also:Lord See also:Cranworth made See also:Bramwell a See also:queen's counsel, and the Inner See also:Temple elected him a bencher—he had ceased to be a member of Lincoln's See also:Inn in 1841
.
In 1853 he served on the royal commission to inquire into the assimilation of the See also:mercantile See also:laws of See also:Scotland and See also:England and the law of See also:partnership, which had as its result the Companies Act of 1862
.
It was he who, during the sitting of this commission, suggested the addition of the word " limited " to the See also:title of companies that sought to limit their liability, in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to prevent the obvious danger to persons trading with them in See also:ignorance of their See also:limitation of liability
.
As a queen's counsel Bramwell enjoyed a large and steadily increasing practice, and in 1856 he was raised to the See also:bench as a See also:baron of the See also:court of See also:exchequer
.
In.1867, with Mr Justice See also:Blackburn and Sir See also:John See also:Coleridge, he was made a member of the judicature commission

.
As a See also:puisne See also:judge he had been conspicuous as a See also:sound lawyer, with a strong logical mind unfettered by technicalities, but endowed with considerable respect for the common law
.
His rulings were always clear and decisive, while the same quality marked his dealings with fact, and, coupled with a straightforward, unpretentious manner, gave him See also:great See also:influence with juries
.
In the court of appeal he was perhaps not so entirely in his See also:element as at nisi See also:Arius, but the same See also:combination of sound law, strong common sense and clear expression characterized his judgments
.
His decisions during the three stages of his See also:practical career are too numerous to be referred to particularly, although See also:Ryder v
