to the Gentlemen of the Bar, and those who thous
occupied the Bench in the Welsh Courts, and
who, if not much changed, must he persona
of the highest respectability and talent,. He
had only to mention a few of the names of per-
sons who were to engaged at the time he had the
honour of practising in those Courts.---(A langh.)
