Sir James Monk was Chief Justice of Lower Canada. Monk played a significant role in the abolition of slavery in British North America, when as Chief Justice he rendered a series of decisions regarding escaped slaves that 'while not technically abolishing slavery rendered it innocuous' (i.e. unenforceable). 'The slave could not be compelled to serve longer than he would, and... might leave his master at will.' Wikipedia
