Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE COMMON PLEAS A man busied about decrees. Condemning some to death and some to exile. Ransoming one or pitying, threatening the other. Shakespeare. (Correspondence, 1874-1879.) On October 30, 1873, at the very close of the Long Vacation, the Attorney-General addressed a huge meeting of his constituents in the Victoria Hall, Exeter. At the close of his speech he makes answer to some real or imaginary accusers, discontented Liberals, who murmured at the Government, and at himself as a member of the Government. I rejoice, he says, to hold and am proud of the seat for Exeter. I am proud of the honour of being your representative, and I long to continue your representative. But no power on earth shall ever make me your deputy. On November i he learnt that Bovill was dead, and the next day, Sunday, he writes, It is confirmed.... To be sure, if I had been asked what my chances of succeeding him were, I should have set them down as nothing. He was a good, kind, generous friend. But it was hardly a matter of chance, and when he came up to town, on Tuesday, November 4, he found a most handsome letter from Gladstone, offering me the Chief Justiceship. The diary gives further details of his last days at the Bar, and his first days on the Bench: November 7.--Much talk about my peerage. Monsell told me my speeches at Exeter and Oxford were very good, and urged me to apply. Of course I can''t do anything of the sort. Hannen, also, spoke most warmly, and Archibald and Keating and a number of them. It is all very kind but very embarrassing, as I am sure to disappoint people much. Dined in Hall Middle Temple after Parliament--J. B. K. very pleasant, again. November 9 (Sunday).--Gloomy, blowing day. Sat in and did work all the morn...
