Sir Lawrence Peel (10 August 1799 – 1884) was a judge in India, Chief Justice of Bengal. Lawrence Peel was third son of Joseph Peel of Bowes Farm, Middlesex, who died in 1821, and Anne, second daughter of Jonathan Haworth of Harcroft, Lancashire. His father was younger brother of the first Sir Robert Peel (1750–1830), and he was thus first cousin of the statesman, the second Sir Robert Peel (1788–1850). He was sent to Rugby in 1812, and removing to St John's College, Cambridge, graduated B.A.
