Charles Edward Chubb (17 May 1845 – 27 February 1930) was a judge in the Supreme Court of Queensland, Australia. He was also a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly and an Attorney-General of Queensland.
Chubb was born on 17 May 1845 in London, England. His father was Charles Frederick Chubb, a solicitor, and his mother was Sarah, née Bennett.[1] He had four siblings. When he was 16 he moved to Ipswich, Queensland, and finished his schooling at Ipswich Collegiate School. He became a solicitor in 1867, after completing his articles with his father.[2]
In 1870 Chubb married Christian Westgarth Macarthur, with whom he had six children. Three survived to adulthood.
On 5 January 1883, Pope Alexander Cooper, the Attorney-General of Queensland and member for Bowen in the Queensland Legislative Assembly, resigned. Chubb, who had been appointed Attorney-General on 6 January 1883, won the resulting by-election on 18 January 1883. He held the seat until the 1888 election.[3]
He became a member of the Supreme Court of Queensland on 2 December 1889, serving first at Townsville until 1908, and then at Brisbane. There was animosity between the Labor government and the judges, playing out through a series of cases challenging government actions and legislation.[4] [5]
Chubb died in Brisbane on 27 February 1930 and his funeral proceeded from St. Malo, his former residence in South Brisbane to the South Brisbane Cemetery.[9] [10]
