• Name: Eyre, Sir James
• Gender: Male
• Birth Date: 1734
• Death Date: 6  July  1799
• Occupation: judge

Sir James Eyre was the judge of the Treason Trials of 1794. Godwin wrote Cursory Strictures in response to the charge, or case for Treason, that Eyre wrote as Lord Chief Justice to the Grand Jury.

Of the three references to 'Eyre' (by itself with no other initials or forenames) in the diary, one is after James Eyre's death and the other two, in 1795, are not conclusive and have not been coded. However the three instances of 'C J Eyre' (one of which is noting James Eyre's death in 1799) have been coded as him. Two of these entries are in 1818, nearly twenty years after his death, and are on consecutive days, in brackets. They have been coded as conversations with 'C J Eyre' as the subject. They might well refer to Cursory Strictures or to a possible publishing project that Godwin was considering.

Godwin recorded his death.
