DREW, George Alexander, Canadian jurist, born near the village of Williamstown, Glengarry County, Ont., 28 February 1827. He is descended from Scotch loyalists who settled in Canada at the time of the American Revolution. He was educated at the grammar schools in Williamstown and Cornwall, studied law under the late John Sandfield Macdonald at Cornwall, and was called to the bar of Upper Canada in 1854. In 1855 he settled in Elora, in that province, and practiced his profession. In 1867 he was elected to parliament for North Wellington, and was reelected for the same constituency in 1878. At the dissolution of parliament in 1882 he retired from politics, and was appointed judge of the County of Wellington, and afterward-local judge of the high court of justice.
