Dear 216.194.20.251: What about the Queen Victoria story? Deipnosophista 13:45, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Ozdaren gave prior attribution of the "XXX is what Eton was: a school for the sons of Catholic gentlemen" to Stonyhurst, without sourcing it. I'm not sure if the tag was used earlier than Beaumont's foundation, but surely it is especially apposite of Beaumont because (as the article suggests) both Beaumont and Eton were in Windsor. I suggest that a briefer remark is needed, and have amended accordingly. Deipnosophista 12:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure that the fact that someone was an aristocrat (or a diplomat) is itself sufficient reason for listing them as a notable old boy! Deipnosophista (talk) 10:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Relocate prep school material?

The description of St John's preparatory school appears in the middle of the article, which interrupts the overall flow of the main topic. I suggest moving this section to later in the article. If there's no objection, I'll make this change in a short while. jxm (talk) 00:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

No objection from me. Pjposullivan (talk) 16:45, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Serjeant Sullivan

I added A.M. Sullivan to the list as "Serjeant Sullivan," and note that his designation has been changed to "Irish barrister." He was indeed a barrister in both England and Ireland, but in the former jurisdiction he had advanced to the degree of Serjeant-at-Law, indeed to "First Serjeant," and he was known by that title in England by courtesy, even though he practiced there as junior counsel. That's why he is known to history as "Serjeant Sullivan." NRPanikker (talk) 15:55, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you NRPanikker, in that case, I think you may want to change the first line of the Wikipedia article on A. M. Sullivan (barrister) that says that he was an "an Irish lawyer". Cardofk (talk) 17:11, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

It's always difficult to encapsulate a whole career in a short phrase. Sullivan's main career was in Ireland until his life was threatened during the independence struggle and he crossed over to London, but there his most famous case was an Irish one. "Lawyer" at least covers both barrister and serjeant. He was a King's Counsel in Ireland, but that status did not cross the Irish Sea, and he had to plead from outside the bar of the court as a junior barrister.
