THE QUEEN, SIR J. CLARK, AND SIR H.

HALFORD.—Prior to the demise of the late King, Sir J.
Clark was physician to the Duchess of Kent. When the
___

Princess Victoria ascended the throne, Sir J. Clark was
requested by her Majesty to make out a list of the physi-
cians and surgeons, ordinary and extraordinary, to the
Court, and submit it to her for approval. He accordingly
obeyed the command of her Majesty. Though Sir H.
Halford had been principal physician to William IV., and
was Lord Meibourne's private physician, his name stood
second or third oil the list; and Sir J. Clark, because of
his professional coonection with the Duchess of Kent,
thought himself justnsed in placing bis own name first.
Sir Henry Halford considering, from the position which
he had held for so long a time in the medical profession, as
well as from the circumstance of his being President of
the College of Physicians, that be was fully entitled to be
nominated as the Queen's principal physician, had an inter-
view with Lord Melbourne on the subject, who promised
to mention the matter to her Majesty, as well as to Sir
James Clark. He accordingly did so, and Sir J. Clark's
reply was, that he had no personal feeling in the matter,
that he had a high respect for Sir H. Halford's eminent
profeasioi:al talents, and he had no objection to his name
being placeti at the head of the list, and if that was agreed to
his name shoo, d stand at the bottom. The subjectwas brought
under the node.' of her Majesty,. both by the Prime fit
ueen exp ressed
nister and by Sir' J. Clark. The'
