Sir Worley Bassett Edwards (5 September 1850 – 1 June 1927) was a New Zealand lawyer and judge.[1]
Edwards was born in

, and in May 1892 the Judicial Committee gave a decision adverse to the legality of the appointment, on the ground that Parliament had not previously been asked to provide Judge Edwards's salary.
Edwards married Mary A. Cutten at Wellington in June 1886. He was knighted in the 1919 New Year Honours.[2]
