THE Orrice OF ABSOCIATZ TO THZ CHIEF
JUSTICE OF THE Qualm's BENCH has, it is well
known, almost invariably been held by a son of
that great judicial functionary for the time being,
and that it is resigned on a vacancy, either by
death oe retirement, of the chief justice. Thus,
in the time of Chief Justice Ellenloorough the
office was held by the present Recorder for
London ; during Chief Justice Tenterden'a incum-
bency, the present Lord Tenterden was associate, and
lately the Hon. Thomas Denman acted in that capa-
city. Immediately on the appointment of Lord
Campbell as chief justice he wrote to Mr. Denman,
requesting that Mr. Denman would continue to be
hie associate. This handsome offer of the new chief
justice was, however, delicately declined by Mr.
Denman ; who reminded Lord Campbell that he had
sons of his own quite as competent to fill the office.
Its emoluments are understood to be worth 2,0001. •
year, paid, of course, by the suitors for justice in the
's Bench.
