Early Life
Horatio Bottomley was born in Bethnal Green, London on 23 March 1860. He was orphaned at the age of 4 and spent 14 years growing up in an orphanage. His uncle George Holyoake arranged for him to join a firm of legal shorthand writers where he learned something about the court system. His first experience of the courts was in 1885 where he defended a printing and publishing firm of his from bankruptcy and the fact that substantial funds were missing from its accounts.
