Born on February 14, 1900, he was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. He left Oxford, where he was President of the Union, in 1922 with first class honours in Literae Humaniores, and was called to the Bar in 1924. From 1929 until his early death in 1932 he was a Member of Parliament for the Eastbourne Division of East Sussex. A friend and colleague of the great advocate Edward Marshall Hall, he had access to a great deal of unpublished material for The Life of Sir Edward Marshall Hall, which was published in 1929. He died in office on 2 April 1932, committing suicide by shooting himself in the chest whilst in the billiard room of his stepfather Lord Hailsham’s house in Sussex. He had been jilted for a second time. Marjoribanks had just completed the first volume of a planned three-volume account of The Life of Lord Carson, his last chapter being the George Archer-Shee case which ended Volume One. The final two volumes were completed by Ian Colvin in 1934 and 1936, respectively.
