THE LORD CHANOILLOR AND HIS FAMILY.

(From the Saturday Bedew.))
The fortunate resignations of Mr. Edmunds have
enabled him to provide, sot only fora son in the Howe of
Lords, bat also for a ses-in-law in the Patethollies. If
foe no other men, Mr. Edmunds deserves a peel= for
thrice 000tnbsted es largely to the depetherage of se
theellset a family. But this emus by so camas to exhaust
the list of the Lord CliatioralWe schicregesets is the per.
formasas of this imperative and dithoult duty. He fella
deeply that time is short. and that if he doss sot improve
every occasion. titeiceitporthaity may pass from him for over.
The following s , reported to hare hese mods by lir.
kis
Tubas', at Ipswich, gives as idea el laudable activity to
this respect
"It iabweh said of the Itaakruptcy Act that bee
been a otie system of eat-door relief to Lord West-
bury's • I hold is my head a list of some of the
appointments which the sable lord km made under that
bill. Pint, a registrarship to the Hon. filiepby Bothell,
son of the Lord Chaothllor, to the Court of Bankruptcy at
Exeter, and afterwards at Landau ; asoond, a registrarship
of deeds to the Hes. B. Bothell, mos of the Lord Chanoillor,
under the New Bankruptcy Act ; third, crown solicitor to
the Court of Bankruptcy, Walter William Aklriclge, Esq.,
who married a niece of the Lord Cheamillor, appointment
created under the New Bankruptcy ; fourth, architect to
the Court Bankruptey, Augustus B. Ahrehems,brotheris.
law to the Lad Chancellor, appoint:nest foetid seemeary
under the New Bankruptcy Act. In addition to these
there was a secretaryship of presentations. dim to At B.
-
Abe/hunk Esq., and a Mr. H. J. Abrahams was appoisted
Hamad ask is the Lead Bametry Office. There is spears
little job is my owe immedisth neighbourhood, whore the
Lord Chancellor has been babied to appropriate aa apprist-
meat for the betroth of the ens sen-is.law, the official
theignessidp to the Exeter district. Now. I say that patio-
man thew no more of the duties of the oththl uniguesship
than I know of the duties of the Lad Chief Justice of
Reeked. His lordship the neatly removed his son-in-
law from that district to the London official sesigthenhip,
at a salary of 8001. a year."
Eras this, however, doss not appear to complete the
list ; for it has bees mewled, and the amertion we believe
has sot bees contradicted, that another sea of the Chan-
cellor, the Hoe. W. Bothell, has been appoisted to a
place of 4001. a year, though he is still as undeepuduste
at Oxford. llsthir ordinary eircumetasums, it might be
judicious so far to consult public prejediee as to wait until
his ems bad completed their education before he provided
for them at the public expense. Is these days it is usually
supposed that alexia are only paid in exchange for week
done ; and it is antecedently probable that • youth who is
dill an uodergradothe at the university, will set, either in
point of leisure or of ability, be worth 4001. a yes to the
public service. But these 000sidoratious wore overcome In
the mild of the Lord Chancellor by the 0:1110•6111 aspect at
the political barium. " Trust not the sorrow" is a maxim
which should never be forgotten by Wilk charadoes who
have large families to provide for. After en, it Is but a
sacrifice of reputatios in enshrine for so moth public
money ; ad whether the hairdo is a good or a had one
must &mead in sub NM MI the essount which there is to
saarifios.
