Henry Finch,

LAWYER,

Of the same family as the preceding was Henry Finch, sergeant-at-law in the reign of James I., by whom he was knighted. He was a native of Kent, and educated at Oxford, and Gray's Inn. He was a lawyer of learning and reputation, and wrote a treatise on Common Law, entitled "Nomotechnia," 1613. He died in 1625.

[Besides the above Finches, there were several other members of the family, all Kentish men, and more or less distinguished. There was a Sir Heneage Finch, who was Recorder of London in the reign of James I, and an Edward Finch, his brother, an eminent clergyman, Vicar of Christ Church, London, who died in 1642.]
