THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S RESIGNATION is thus
commented on in the Law Times of to-day (Satur-
day) :—Lord Westbury has taken his hurt, by a parricidal
thrust, under the arm of a friendly peacemaker between
father and son. "'Tis not so deep as a well, nor so vide
as a church door, but 'tis enough, 'twill serve." We have
already spoken of the legislative acts, in connection with
which Lord Westbury's name will go down to history, so
long as the statute-book, whether unconsolidated or con-
solidated, shall remain. For those acts have been groat
constructive measures, by which two courts of justice have
their modern existence, another institution, scarcely less
than a land court, has been created, and Equity has spread
its branches over tho whole country. So long, too, as case
law shall abide, his judgments will endure, as a witness of
breadth of principle and skill in its application, cogency of
reasoning and force of language. A more visible monu-
ment to Lord Westbury's successful energy will be the
Palace of Justice, when, out of the place where foulness
now engenders disease, it shall arise, as did the city of
Peter the Great out of the synmips of the Neva.
