Sir James Mansfield (originally Manfield), SL, KC (1733 – 23 November 1821) was a British lawyer, judge and politician. He was twice Solicitor General and served as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas from 1799 to 1814.
The son of a Hampshire attorney, little is known about Mansfield's private life. While he is not believed to have married, he fathered at least five children, including John Mansfield of Diggeswell, father of General William Mansfield, 1st Baron Sandhurst. Mansfield attended Eton from 1745 until 1750, and then King's College, Cambridge, of which he was elected a fellow in 1754. During this period he changed his surname from Manfield to Mansfield. He graduated with a BA in 1755 and a MA in 1758.
Mansfield pursued a career in law, obtaining admission to the Middle Temple on 11 February 1755 and being called to the bar on 28 November 1758. His career, both at common law and in chancery, was quite successful, and he was appointed one of the counsel for John Wilkes in 1768. Mansfield was one of James Somersett's lawyers; Somersett was a slave brought by his master from Jamaica to London in 1769, and freed on 22 June 1772 by a ruling from Lord Mansfield (no relation).
James Lutyens Mansfield (6 September 1841 – 20 December 1888) was a Scottish amateur golfer who played in the late 19th century. Mansfield tied for seventh place in the 1882 Open Championship.
Mansfield was born in Edinburgh in 1841, the son of Thomas Mansfield and Mary Ann Henrietta Mansfield (née Lutyens). His sister, Marion Charlotte Mansfield, married James Adam Hunter and two of their children—Thomas Mansfield Hunter and Norman Frederick Hunter—were useful amateur golfers.
The 1882 Open Championship was the 22nd Open Championship, held 30 September at the Old Course at St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Bob Ferguson won the Championship for the third successive time, by three strokes from Willie Fernie.
Ferguson led after the morning round with an 83. Going out in 40 he started back 4-3-4 and with some steady play came back in 43, despite a six at the 16th. Fitz Boothby, a local amateur, scored 86 despite a couple of sevens in the closing holes. He shared second place with Jack Kirkaldy with Jamie Anderson and Tom Kidd on 87.
James William Mansfield (12 February 1862 – 17 June 1932) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Marylebone Cricket Club and Cambridge University between 1883 and 1888. He was a right-handed middle-order batsman. He was born at Pune in India and died at Westminster, London.
Mansfield was the fourth son of the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny soldier Sir William Rose Mansfield, who was later created Baron Sandhurst. He was educated at Winchester College and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1884.
Mansfield made his first-class cricket debut while at Cambridge, playing in 1882 for "An England XI" in a match against the university side. In 1883 and 1884, he played regularly for the university team and appeared in both seasons in the University Match against Oxford University. He had limited success, but against the Orleans Club in the first-class game in 1883 he scored 117, and this was the highest score of his cricket career. After leaving Cambridge, he played a couple of times for MCC in matches against the university team.
James Emmanuel Mansfield (23 April 1860 – 27 September 1930) was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for Tasmania in 1883/84. He was born at Longford, Tasmania and died at Ascot Vale, Melbourne, Victoria.
Mansfield's only matches were on a tour by Tasmania to New Zealand in 1883/84 in which the same 11 players featured in four first-class games, two each against Otago and Canterbury. In a fairly mobile batting order, Mansfield started out as a middle-order batsman, but lack of success led him to be played further down the batting order and in the final game he batted at No 11, from where he made his highest score, an unbeaten 8 in the second innings against Canterbury.
His death notice in the Melbourne Argus indicated that he died "suddenly" and that he and his wife Alvie had eight children.
James Mansfield was a British politician.

The team first began play in the Ohio State League in 1887 as simply Mansfield. The following season, the club moved to the Tri-State League until 1890. After a three-year hiatus, Mansfield once again fielded a new team, the Mansfield Electricians and played the 1893 season in the short-lived Ohio–Michigan League. No team was then fielded until 1897, when the city fielded the Mansfield Haymakers in the Interstate League.
In 1906 the city was represented in then Ohio–Pennsylvania League with the Mansfield Giants. The club changed its name to the Pioneers in 1907 until 1909. The team was once again renamed the Mansfield Reformers in 1910 and the Mansfield Brownies in 1911. In 1912 the club moved back to the Ohio State League for their final season.
