very little doubt the weighty words of Lord Private Kallaway.
Shaftesbury will form the no of sotion. "We
were at college together" were the eloquent
words of Lord She( seabury, and we must travel
back full a generation in considering the oom-
xnenoement of the lives of these two noblemen,
one of whom has made a name as a philanthropist,
which will live as long as will the principles of
some of our noblest Institutions' and the other
of whom has well earned the title of a " good
politician and a good moral citizen." We will
but express the hope that many years of useful-
ness may be spared Lord Portman, though they
must necessarily be of a less public character.
Though unable personally to attend the Court,
his Lordship's sympathies will be centred in the
operations of that body, over which ho so ably
presided, a-A we are sure the services which he
may still find it i I his power to condor will be
of great value to the county at largo.
