SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1873.
ANOTHER VACANT CHAIR.

When, last Monday, the Judges and the Bar
assembled at Westminster to begin the business
of the legal year, some of them must have born
possessed by feelings of a strongly•mingled
character. The saying, "One cometb, and an-
other goeth," was never more strongly exempli-
fied than upon that oecasion. Since the Land
Courts rose, in August, a new Muster of the
Rolla had been appointed, and Sir George Jes-
se.] was there in the splendour of new robes, and
already wearing a dignity compatible with hio
elevated position on the equity bench. On the
other hand there lay dead a judge—Lord Chief
Justice Bovill—apparently in good health when
last the courts assembled, and at his age, for he
was only 59, with a long judicial ;career yet be-
fore laim. Another judge --one of the Vice-
Chancellors—had beets removed by death only a
w,e, I whore, oue year younger than the late
Lain! Justice ot Use Common Pleas, and wno
received his promotion but two years and a Lula
st,;ti. Thera are always mutual congratulatems

men Lave reached the Bench. lune was wheu
the name of a judge was synonymous with long
life alai unimpaired physical and iuteilectual
vigour. Thu fate Lord Brougham, one of the
moot extraordinary men which the century hes
produced, was ninety years of age then he was
gathered to his fathers. Lord Campbell was
seventy-nine when he was appointed Lord Chan-
cellor, Lord St. Leonards was seventy, Lord
Chelmsford was sixty-four, Lord Westbury
sixty-one, and the present Lord Chancellor was
sixty. The Lord Chief Baron of the Ex-
chequer, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, was threescore and
ten—the allotted term of life according to the
Psalmist—at the tune of his ,appointment more
than seven years ago. the Lord Chief Justice
of England, who has had the difficult task of
presiding over the Tichborne trial for more thr-i
six months past, has passed his seventieth year.
The fact is clear that while stone judges seem to
be possessed of iron constitutions, others break
down after a very short term of service. Baron
Martin still continues his judicial labours after
having been nearly four-and-twenty years upon
the Bench ; Vice-Chancellor Wickens is taken
away after having served only as many months.
Evidently the pestiferous atmosphere of our
&Kitts of justice has a more deadly effect upon
the health of some of our judges than upon
others. Four years ago one of the justices of
the Court of Queen'siliench, the late irGeor„e
Hayes, who had bout elevated to his high posi-
tion only fifteen months before ho was struck
down by apopiexy while presiding over the trial
ef a complicated case, cairieri to the " West-
niinsier Palace" Hotel hard by, and died within
a nay or two of his Seizure. Three Lords-
Justices of the Court of Appeal in Chancery—

their iuttineutuai powers, within a very short.

ing wilderness in the very heart of Loudon, our
courts of juatice are scattered here and there
over die capital, and judges of eminence die off
at a comparatively early see, some of them un-
doubted victims to slow aufiocution. The ques-
tion has often been asked " where arc the new
law courts?" but as yet no satisfactory reply
has been given.
