Sir Arthur Weir Mason (2 August 1860 – 8 June 1924) was a South African judge who served as Judge President of the Transvaal Provincial Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa.[1]
Mason was born in Pondoland, a rural area in the eastern part of the Cape Colony, but spent his early life in Durban and was sent to England to receive his schooling in Bath and Eastbourne.[1] He later attended the University of London and in 1879 obtained the BA degree with honours in Classics and German.[2]
