Volume 10, page 296, sitting number 13,552.

[Identified as 'E. L. Brandetti, Esq.' in the Silvy daybooks, this is probably a clerical error by a Silvy employee for 'E.L. Brandreth,' which would be Edward Lyall Brandreth.]

Edward Lyall Brandreth was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1863 (Morning Post, 18 November 1863)

An obituary appeared in the Clifton Society (19 December 1907). 'Mr Edward Lyall Brandreth died on Tuesday at his residence, 32, Elvaston-place, London, in his 85th year. He was the son of Mr Joseph Pilkington Brandreth and grandson of Mr Joseph Brandreth, the eminent physician. He went to India to join the Indian Civil Service in 1842, and he became Commissioner of the Rawalpindi division in the Punjab, which position he held until his retirement in 1868. He was a member of the Kensington Board of Guardians for many years. He was chairman of the Kensington and Chelsea school district managers for 25 years, and in that capacity took a leading part in establishing and managing a school for London workhouse children at Banstead, which has proved of the utmost value. He was a member of several learned societies, and an active coadjutor of Dr Murray in his great dictionary. He leaves one child, who is married to Mr J.G. Butcher, KC.'

He also has a seven-page obituary in the April 1908 issue of The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
