He was the son of Charles Fearne, judge-advocate of the admiralty. Charles was born in London in 1742
He was educated at Westminster school.
He adopted the legal profession, and most of his attention and patrimony he devoted to the prosecution of scientific experiments, with the vain hope of achieving discoveries which would reward him for his pains and expense. He died in 1794, leaving his widow and family in necessitous circumstances. Fearne's 1772 work, "Essay on the Learning of Contingent Remainders and Executory Devices", is deemed to have done "more than any other to preserve the Rule in Shelley's Case as black letter law (as distinguished from a rule of construction). " His Essay on the Learning of Contingent Remainders and Executory Devises, the work which has made his reputation as a legal authority, and which passed through numerous editions, was called forth by a decision of Lord Mansfield in the case of Perrin v. Blake, and had the effect of reversing that decision.
An edition in 1797 was by his former pupil John Joseph Powell, and the Essay on the Nature and Operation of Fines and Recoveries (1783) by William Cruise was inspired by Contingent Remainders. A volume entitled Fearne's Posthumous Works was published by subscription in 1797 for the benefit of his widow.
