The Ministerial arrangements as to the legal ap-
pointments in Ireland will be exceedingly popular
throughout that country. The new Lord Chancellor,
during the time he filled the important situation of
Chief Baron of the Exchequer, gained for himself
golden opinions from all classes, shades, and varieties
of politicians. His brethren of the bar, many of
whcm felt offended at his promotion to the high
judicial station he was selected to fill, conceiving that
he had not attained so high a position as an
advocate as to warrant his appointment, were speedily
induced to arrive at a different conclusion, and to
yield their warmest approbation to the sound judg-
ment, eminent legal acquirements, close and zealous
application to keep up that legal knowledge, and the
kind and patient urbanity to the junior bar, evinced
by him on every occasion. It was soon discovered that
the Chief Baron had been sadly underrated, that few
had given him credit for the extraordinary talents
he was found to possess, that he gave every promise
of becoming one of the most able and learned judges
that ever graced the judicial bench—a promise which
it may be said he has fulfilled to the utmost extent.
His case was in some degree the converse of that of
the celebrated Irish judge mentioned by Sir JONAH
BARRINGTON, who, in conversation with his registrar,
was accustomed to congratulate himself that it was not
until after he had been elevated to the bench that the
public had discovered that he was totally ignorant
of law. It was not until after the late Chief Baron
had succeeded to the ermine that he exhibited his
extraordinary powers, or was justly estimated by his
professional brethren. The Lord Chancellor entered
Trinity College, Dublin, in the year 1811, and while
there gave evidence rather of a sound general know-

ledge than of extraordinary brilliancy ; he, however,
passed through with much credit to himself, having
obtained several honours during his career. He
was called to the bar in the year 1818, and it being
unusual at that time for Irish students to study at
chambers in this country, he was so fortunate as to
obtain the entrée into the chamber s of the present
Judge PERRIN, than which it would be impossible to
find a school more calculated to teach a sound and
thorough knowledge of law. Mr. BRADT exhibited
the utmost perseverance, and soon obtained the cha-
racter of a hardworking and rising young man. His
brother; S►r NICHOLAS WILLIAM BRADT, was one of
the Dublin Corporation, then the hotbed of
Orangeism, where none but Tories and sticklers for
Protestant ascendancy could have a chance of ad-
mission. It might, therefore, have been supposed
that,Mr. BRADY would have professed similar political
principles, but, fortunately for himself and the public,
he took a more liberal and enlightened view of
affairs.

On the breaking up of the short-lived PEEL Minis.

try, in 1834, Mr. PERRIN was appointed Attorney-
General, and through his recommendation Mr.
BRADT was appointed law adviser at the
Castle, in the place of the late Attorney-
General, Mr. GREENE, who had just re-
signed the office. In the discharge of his official
duties he gave the greatest satisfaction, being remark-
able for the promptitude and decision with which he
gave his opinions. Never doubting or hesitating as to
the course to be adopted, he gave plain directions,
which could not be mistaken or misunderstood.
On the death of the late Sir WILLIAM MWAHON,
Sir MICHAEL 011.40 G Hum was appointed Master
of the Rolls, and the Attorney-General (RicuAuns)

to the vacant Barony of the Exchequer. The Soli-
citor-General (WoLrE) became Attorney-General,
and it being a part of the policy of the then Irish Go•
vernment to have, as far as practicable, a Protestant
and a Roman Catholic filling the situations of the two
principal Law Officers of the Crown, the Solicitor-
Generalship was offered to Mr. BRADY, with the un-
derstanding that he would yield to the claims of Mr.
BALL, andconsent to wave his privilege of promotion
in his favour. Accordingly Mr. BALL was soon
afterwards appointed Attorney-General over his
bead, and shortly afterwards a Judge of the Court
of Common Pleas, on which occasion Mr. BRADY
became Attorney-General, with Mr. PIGOT, who had
formerly succeeded him as law adviser at the Castle, as
Solicitor-General. On the death of the Chief Baron
WOLFE, the claims of Baron RICHARDS and Judge
BALL to the vacant office were strongly urged
and considered very evenly balanced—so nearly so,
that it is said that the Lord-Lieutenant declined
giving one the preference over the other, and, con-
sequently, the Attorney-General was promoted to
the Chief Barony. As we have already stated, this
appointment at first created considerable dissatisfac-
tion to the bar in general, but the feeling was
speedily changed for the most perfect approbation, and
there is now a universal feeling of delight at the well-
merited promotion which has so justly placed an
eminent Irish lawyer in his proper position at the
head of the Irish bar—a place, be it remembered, that
was gained by no political intrigue, Parliamentary
influence, or underhand work, but simply from the
just appreciation of his talents, undoubted integrity,
and impartiality. There is no other appointment
which could be hailed with such unanimity by men of
all varieties of political feeling.
The new Chief Baron, Mr. PIGOT, was called to
the bar in the year 1826. Before being called he
had studied for many years at chambers, in Lon-
don, being one of the first students for the
Irish bar who adopted that course, which, partly
owing to his great success, has now become
almost universal. His talents and legal ac-
quirements procured him immediate practice,
and in a very short time he was looked on as one of
the most rising men at the junior bar, and his at-
tainment of the highest ranks of the profession was
confidently prophecied, a prediction which has bten
fully verified by his subsequent career. Mr. PIGOT
was appointed law adviser at the Castle, on the pro-
motion of Mr. BRADY, and subsequently succeeded
