The Lirerimol Albion observes of the new judge
of the county wort at that town :—" Mr. J. K. Blair was I
called to the bar in 1816, since when hr has regularly prao.
Used on the Northern Circuit, an which he her latterly held
numerous briefs. He has resided for many years in Liver-
pool ; he has for some time at &Mini filled the oaks of
Judge of the Court of Record ; and he was very recently
appointed Ihiputy-Recorder of Liverpool, which two offices
ho will now reelgu. Mr. Blair's promotion will be a source
of sathrfection to his professional friends, amongst whom he
has always been esteemed for the urbanity of his manners in
every office of a public capacity which has brought him in
contact with them. The salary of the judgeship of the
court is 1,6001. a year, in relinquishing which, we believe,
Mr. Pollock retires with a mime of 1,0601. a year."
