DUBLIN COURT OF CHANCERY.
RETIREMENT OF LORD PLUNKETT.

The Court was greatly crowded on Monday fo enoon
by an auditory deeply anxious to witness the reti ement
of Lord Plunkett from the Chancery Bench.
After his Lordship had pronounced judgm• nt in a
will cause, the '•. Master of the Rolls, Sir Michael
O'Loghlen, Bart., entered the Court, and took his seat
beside the Chancellor.
Mr. Sergeant GREEN, who had been deputed by the
bar to address the Lord Chancellor on the occasion of
his retirement from his judicial duties, then arose, and
in most complimentary terms, alluded to the long con-
nection of Lord Plunkett with the Chancery bar, and
the suavity of his deportment towards its members, who
now begged to express their 'deep respect for his Lord-
ship, and their anxiety for his future happiness.
Mr. Gm:11)Am), upon the part of the solicitors, made a
similar address.
Lord PLUNI!.ETT then addressed the members of the
bar, and after giving expression to his feelings of gra-
titude and satisfaction for the kindly sentiments they had
conveyed through Sergeant Greene, proceeded to advert
to the circumstances connected with his retirement from
the bench. Efforts had, he said, been made to induce
him to tender his resignation, but deeming such a step
on his part unnecessary and unwarrantable, he had de-
clined to comply. However, an application had been
subsequently made for the same object, and from a quar-
ter where he owed such deep obligations, that he felt
himself coerced at once to give way ; but with the cir-
cumstances which had led to his resignation he had no
connection whatever, directly or indirectly. With the
proceeding he had no connection—he strongly disap-
proved dit, and he did not feel himself in any manner
responsible for its consequences. In now taking his
farewell of the bar, he begged to repeat his gratitude
for their kindness, and to express his high sense of the
talents and attainments of its members, who were not
surpassed, by the, bar of England, Scotland, or of any
other country.
