BERTIE, VERE.
Judge.
d. 1680.
Admitted 29 January, 1654-5.
Fourth son of Montague, second Earl of Lindsey, and Lord Chamberlain, to which high connexion he was probably indebted for his advancement. He was called to the Bar 10 June, 1659, became a Bencher of his Inn 23 Jan. 1673-4, a Serjeant-at-Law 1675, and in the same year a Baron of the Exchequer. Three years afterwards he was removed to the Common Pleas, where, however, he sat only for ten months, when he was removed from his office, for what reason does not clearly appear. He died 23 Feb. 1680, and was buried in the Temple Church.
