DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.

,THE IRISH JUDICIAL BENCH:

_ _ _------
The death of Mr. Justice Torrens, announced in
The Sun of yesterday, has, for obvious reasons,
created a degree of public interest more than com-
mensurate with the occurrence of all event at any
othersitime-of Scarcely 'third-rate importance, even
in th© eyes of the gossiping quidnuncs of -the Irish
capital. The learnt(' judge had attained to the ripe
ago of 81 years, and, although for a long time he
had been a martyr to- physical infirmities, there
wdre 4eoent,symptoms to warrant the impres-
sion that the hour of dissolution was so near at
hand. He :expired at Derrynoid-lodge, in the
county of Llndonderry, on Saturday evening,
after having, in conjunction with Baron Penne-
father, despatched the business of the North-west
Circuit, from its opening at Longford to its close
at Londonderry, and 1.705 but one day absent front
temporary indisposition. The following memoir
of the late judge is condensed from the Freeman's
Journal :
Judge Torrein was called to the bar in Michaelmas
Term, 1798, and raised to the bench in 1823. Thus he
ha," been for 58 years a member of the bar, atd 33 a
judge. He had never filled any of the higher offices of
law, having attained only the rank of str4eant ; but the,
influence ut his brother, Sir Henry Torrens, who occu-
p;ed a distingui•hed position in the army, and was deep
in_tbe conFdenCe of George the Fourth when Prince
Regent, secured the elevation of his brother to the bench.
.Judge Torrens had far inferior claims to many who bad
6'er, passed over; but in those days, as indeed in sue-
ceediag times, party and interest determined judiciai
prom tt ens insteai r,f experience, ability, and judicial
fitness, His lordship, however, was a judge of areraw
merit, 'And _Made up on the bench for the deficiencie,
arising from professional inexperience while at the bar
His intellect was clear, though not very conyrebensive.
e took common sense views of quetion, and rarely
ventured beyond his depth. In the adniinistra:bot of
,T.rninal justice he was somewhat severe, paric
d iring ids first years on the bench, when the distuibeo
tate of the country, with oveifl etAing assizes and cm.-
stant co/rmissions, afforded scope fur a vigour net
always ,ithin the law. In his later year', however, thi
tender), y was corrected, and he tried most ca•es in
volving life with a tenderness which Mr. Just:o Perrin
night a 1 ul re. With regard to his successor, t ter- are.
vari,ris rumours. It is stated the Attorney General wi I
refu,e the,,appointtnent.' Of c,!urse, the 801,cito,- Gene-
-al woUddliave the ri,ht of refusal after Mr. Attorne)
had rej-cted the tempting lure. We know not wha•
truth viers may:be in the prevalent rumour that Mr
Biewlq.er,on the faith of some, secret arrangement wit:
the present Government,. w• u'd.succeed to the vacancy
We inc:ine to iielieve that Mr. Fitzgerald will be the
new jutri-r justice of the Common Peas.
Saunddri of this morning states that the rumour
in legal circles is that the Attorney-General will
decline the vsicarit seat, and that the Solicitor-Ge-
tieraXwill fie the new ju.tge. It is further believed
that the'office of Solicitor-General is to be offered
to Mr. Isaac,Butt, Q.C., and member for Youghal.
