I am afraid that I cannot help with the question but I can say that my
mother, Audrey Horne (ne Notcutt) was called to the English Bar shortly
before the last war. She was always very scathing about other women
barristers who went around saying that they were first woman to appear
before this that or the other tribunal. She did, however, make one claim to
fame. She was the first woman barrister to appear pregnant before the Court
of Appeal.
Which means that I can say that I am the first member of the English Bar to
have appeared before the Court of Appeal before being born.
