He, however, offered suggestions upon several points not dealt with in the Bill and amendments upon other points. The lecture was discussed by several members of the society and the learned chairman offered some terse and practical remarks both upon the lecture and the bankruptcy law in general. Upon the motion of the chairman, it was resolved, "That Dr. Pankhurst be requested to allow the lecture delivered by him to night to be printed and published, and copies thereof to be sent to Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Attorney and Mr. Solicitor-General."

SIR GEORGE BRAMWELL. ON Monday last a banquet was given at the Inner Temple Hall by the bar to Sir G. Bramwell on his retirement from the bench. There were 250 members of the bar and twenty-six judges present. At the close the Attorney-General rose to propose the health of Sir George Bramwell. He said I need not tell of the performance of his judicial duties, and how much he has contributed to the store of the unwritten law of England. I had rather tell you that we have gathered here to-night to meet an old friend and to convey to him how much we value that old friendship. True, for more than a quarter of a century he has fulfilled judicial duties; but yet we have ever known that he always wished still to be one of us, and so we, at the bar, felt that, in spirit and sympathy, he still remained But what we valued most in him was this, that the youngest member of the bar ever felt that to him was shown the same sympathy, the same kindness which was shown to the ablest and most experienced advocate How often have all of us had to recognize that when, by force of his inexorable logic, he has driven us into that much-loved dilemma, he was prompt to hold out to us the hand, or, to be more characteristic of him, the finger of his friendship, in order to extricate us from the difficulty which was overwhelming us. We all know, too, when necessity required that he should strike an incisive blow with the sharp weapon of his speech, how apt he was to lessen the pain of the wound by the covering of an epigram. So we judged him, and so the public judged him too, who felt that his judgments were ever tempered with mercy, when he had to deal with errors, or even crimes, which sprang from the frailty of our nature. We know, too-the public know how severe he was when he had to deal with crimes which sprang from cruelty, so that he came to be regarded, as every judge ought to be regarded, as the hope of all that suffered and the dread of all that do wrong. [After an eloquent reference to the affection felt by the bar for Sir G. Bramwell, the Attorney-General concluded :-] I appeal to you, his old associates, and to you, his late colleagues, to you who have practised before him, to make the assurance certain to him by the way in which you receive this toast, and tell him this, that your wishes are that he may long continue in life and health of body and mind; while we, on the other hand, may feel that while we lose the judge, we are not parting with a friend, to whom we heartily wish "God-speed" for the rest of his days. [Loud and long-continued cheering followed, amid which the whole company stood up and drank the toast, which was again followed by continued cheering.] Sir GEORGE BRAMWELL rose to return thanks, and his rising was the signal for the utmost enthusiasm. At last, silence being restored, Sir George said-Mr. Attorney-General, Lord Coleridge, my Lords, and Gentlemen of the Bar, What am I to say in return for this unexampled honour? I declare I do not know how to stand up before you to present myself as deserving of this distinguished honour! I assure you it is not only to me a great honour, but it has given me great pleasure, because I see here the bar of England, or a large portion of it, so large as to represent the whole-and you, the bar of England, represented by your head, the Attorney-General-you, the bar of England, a body whose good opinion I declare I value more than any other body of men in the kingdom-you, who knew me best-you, who had the best opportunities of knowing me-you have to-night assured me, through him, and in his kind words, that in your judgment (and I trust it is true) I have done my duty to the best of my ability, and that I have done it in such a way as to secure your approval. The Attorney-General has been pleased to assure me in your name that my conduct has been such as to gain your goodwill, and I declare that if I had the choice whether to be a great judge or a good judge I should prefer the latter. I have received many letters, some from younger, some from older men-all mentioning that on some occasion or other I have been kind to them (occasions of which I often bad no recollection); but at least I can assure you that it has been a labour of love to me to do my best according to my ability, and to do it in such a way as to be acceptable to those who had to practise before me. I am afraid I have not always succeeded in keeping that even temper which is so desirable in a judge. I know I have an anxious temperament. I ask pardon of any whom I have offended, and I can assure them that it has always been a subject of sincere regret to me when I have offended. I cannot but say and feel that if there be any duty which ought to be performed anxiously and carefully it is that of a judge. It is an office of great dignity; it is an office the holder of which is invariably treated with great kindness and consideration; it is an office which may well satisfy a high ambition; it is an office, moreover, which gives great opportunity of doing good; and, therefore, I am afraid I must add, of doing harm. But if a judge will only listen patiently to the causes which come before him, and do his best to' understand them and decide them rightly, then let even the defeated suitor see and understand that whichever way the cause is decided-and, of course, whichever way it is decided one of them must be disappointed-at all events he has been heard; and in criminal cases especially, if the party accused is heard impartially and dealt with kindly, and a ferocious sentence does not follow, if, in cases where it is the criminal's first offence, the judge speaks kindly to him, much good may be done, although often, no doubt, no good may be done, as in a case where, when I was exhorting the culprit to repent and amend his life, he interrupted me by asking "How much?" Still, undoubtedly a judge has opportunities of doing good, and small praise to him if he so performs his duties as to do as much good as he can and display at least the ordinary good qualities of a judge. As to kind. ness shown to the bar, of which the Attorney-General has spoken so handsomely, I cannot really understand how it could ever be otherwise. It has been it certainly was to me a very narrow stream, and I have always seemed to said, indeed, that Lethe often runs between the bench and the bar; but, if so, myself as able to mingle with my old friends at the bar as before, and certainly there never was any difference in my feelings towards them when on the bench from what they were when I was myself at the bar. And I should say really that if a judge only wanted to enjoy his office with pleasure to himself, the best way would be to try to behave with kindness and consideration to those who came before him. I take this opportunity of thanking you (such of you as belong to the former generation of the bar I may say) for your invariable kindness to me. I have now been on the bench more than a quarter of a century, and I can truly say that during that long period I have received nothing but kindness from the bar, a kindness which has made my office a pleasure to me and perhaps has helped me to hold it so long as I have done. I cannot recall to mind any instance of unpleasantness, except, indeed, that once a very old and dear friend of mine provoked me so much and made me so angry that I actually threatened to commit him. And I remember that on my asking him afterwards what he would have done if I had committed him, he answered promptly, "Move for any own discharge." have come to the bar since I left it, and many of you, indeed, have come into I thank, then, you of the past generation of the bar; but the majority of you existence, I fancy, since then. I take this opportunity also of saying how deeply obliged I feel to my late brethren on the bench for accepting the invitation to be present here to-night. How glad I am to look back on the many years passed with them and with their predecessors on the bench with perfect goodwill and without the least unpleasantness. It is ended. It is over. I have resigned. I part with my friends at the bar and on the bench. I know it is so; I shall not see you as before. I do not lose your friendly regard, but I shall not see you as I have been so long in the habit of seeing you. It is sad! But I was obliged-not indeed that I am worn out, though if I was so I should be the last perhaps to see it; but I am sorry to part with you thoughts so pleasant, so agreeable to me, as the recollection of this evening all. But in my recollections during the remainder of my life I shall have no of your kindness and good will towards me. [Sir George sat down amid the most enthusiastic cheering.] NEW ORDERS, &c.

Vice-Chancellor Hall's Book having been improperly removed during the past week, any person who is able to give any information which may lead to its recovery, or to a discovery of the circumstances under which it has been removed from this office, is requested to communicate with Mr. Gloster or Mr. Hull.
