Appointed a metropolitan magistrate at the Thames Magistrates' Court in 1869, he was transferred to Bow Street Magistrates' Court in 1890. Franklin Lushington was a close friend of the writer Edward Lear, who met him in Malta in 1849 and then toured southern Greece with him. Lear developed an infatuation for him that Lushington did not wholly reciprocate. Although they remained friends for almost forty years, until Lear's death, the disparity of their feelings constantly tormented Lear. Indeed, Lear's attempts at male companionship were not always successful; the very intensity of Lear's affections may have doomed these relationships. (en)
