The son of John Leslie senior,[1] he was born at Dromore in November 1814. He was educated in England at Harrow School,[2] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford.[3] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket on two occasions in 1836. The first of these came for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Oxford University at Oxford, while the second match came for Oxford University against the MCC at Lord's.[4] A student of both King's Inns in Dublin and of Lincoln's Inn, he was called to the bar in 1840 and January 1841 respectively. He was latterly a member of the Middle Temple.[1] Leslie died a day after his 83rd birthday in November 1897 at Albury, Surrey.
