Early life and education
Born to Dr Henry Hyde Salter, FRS (1823–71) and his wife Henrietta, Salter was educated at Wimborne Grammar School and King's College London, where he studied arts and law. He married Mary Dorothea (d. 1917) in 1894, daughter of Major J. H. Lloyd. Him and Mary had a daughter and a son, 2nd Lieutenant John Henry Clavell Salter, who was killed in action in World War 1 in 1918.[1] After Mary's death, he married Nora Constance, of Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Heathcote Ouchterloney.[2]
Career
He was called to the Bar in 1885 by the Middle Temple, and joined the western circuit in the following year. He became a King's Counsel in 1904 and was elected as a Member of Parliament for Basingstoke in 1906, where he sat until his appointment as a High Court Judge in 1917, and sat on the Kings Bench Division. He also served as the Recorder of Poole from 1904 to 1917. During his tenure, he sat on a number of high-profile cases such as that of Horatio Bottomley in 1922, an MP.
