From 'A Branch of the Holroyd Family' by Thomas Holroyd, 1879:
Edward Holroyd practised as a Special Pleader for seven years under the Bar, having a large business and ten pupils, some of whom became eminent, including Sir David Dundas, afterwards Solicitor-General. He was called to the Bar on the 26 April 1826; in November, 1828, he was appointed by Lord Lyndhurst one of the Commissioners of Bankrupts under the old system, and on the 21st October, 1831, he was appointed by Lord Brougham a Commissioner of the Bankruptcy Court then established, and held the position of Senior Commissioner on the abolition of the Court in December, 1869, having been in office longer than any Judge then on the Bench. On his retirement he was thanked by the Bar and the Solicitors of his Court for his unvarying courtesy and kindness while sitting as a Judge.
