THE NEW LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—Lord Campbell
was yesterday sworn in a Serjesiat at Law and Lord Chief
Juliet of Hogland, is the Lord Chancellor's private room,
at the House of Lords. Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Jus-
tice Wiesen's& were present, and the noble lord, after the
ceremony, received the congratulations of his friends.
Lord Campbell attended the hell at Lincoln's-inn yester-
day, to take leave of that society previous to his being
admitted a member of Serjeant'aina, and in reply to an
address of congratulation from Lord Brougham spike se
follows:" It is very gratifying to me that, in the absence
of the treasurer, I am addressed on this occasion by a noble
and learned friend who is so bright an ornament of your
society, and from whom, at various periods of my life, I have
received kindness which I can never forget. I deeply feel
the difficulty of the sacred duties which I am now call,d
upon to perfcrm, bat, with the blessing of Hod, I hope that
my devoted exertions may entitle me ee the approbation of
my sovereign and the confidence of my country. I heartily
concur in the eloquent euloglum just delivered on my prede-
OPIUM I shall look up to him as en example of judicial
excellence, and study to imitate him in a constant and
earnest endeavour to dism.ver truth and promote justice.'
But I consider it the great felicity of my lot that my brother
judges with whom I am to be associated in the Court of
Queen's Bench are men of such profound learning, of such
distinguished ability, of such unsullied honour, and of
mermen so gentle. For many years I have been united
with them all in private friendship, and I have every reason
to hope that we shall cordially or omen in the adminis-
tration of justice teem the tribunal in which we are jointly
to preside. I confidently anticipate the most valuable
assistance from the bar. Never did the peofeeeion to which it
has been my chief pride to belong stand higher for learning
or for independence, and I know that those whose valuable
assistance I shall have in inverigating facie, and in arriving
at right conclusions of law, will always remember that they
are not oaly retained advocates, bat that they are also
ministen of Justice. It is indeed most painful to bid adieu
to this society, when I have passed so many happy hours,
and where I have formed so many lasting fr.enclehips. But
let me hope that our intercourse in private life will remain
unchanged. Toe times are goae by when it was supposed
that a judge must always be formal, stiff, and morose; and
we knew by experience that if he mixes SI a gentleman
among gentlemen, be is in no danger of being treated with
lea respect and deference when bested on his tribunal. In
sencluaion, let me express my gratification at observing the
naprecedentedly numerous attendance of benches on this
occasion. I flatter myself with the belief that they ate
desirous of testifying their good will and their good vista
for me, and that I have not laboured in vain to enure the
favourable opinion of my contemporaries."
