Legal Changes and Appointments.

Tumor, 100
(From the Law Times to-day.)
There was a rumour that Lord Justice g'r /'
of
K. Bruce, and Sir Hugh Cairns would be raised 10°° ott
peerage for the purpose of strengthening the APPe9l;rti
in the Lords. We believe there is no truth in the re; °,ls'
indeed it would bo strange to send the Judges Wbos° 'curoel
ments are to be appealed against to hear the apPeta,opeal
themselves. Unless they do so, how would the
Courts be strengthened by their accession? froo
We are grieved to learn that dropsy is the nislaaYiv
which Sir J. K. Bruce is suffering. He was aus.ieuth.;gte
ell e
sirens to give judgment in the cases that had bf,-Dici;

before him, but his medical attendants eremil9 0`
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., M.P., steps at once into the
Attorney-General, over the head of the Solicitor-Cle% of
to whom by custom the promotion is due. The ,cafediVt
this departure from established practice is highl -rata;
able to the Solicitor-General, but it is precisely the ec're
which those who know the high and generous oil/ 10
Sir W. Bovill would have anticipated from him. Rlt
claims had precedence over his when the gieis'i,er,
formed, but Sir Hugh Cairns being an equity lel/J0 die
was necessary that his colleague should bo taken frie,,piel

advanced to the Attorney-Generalship and gr' r
would have been appointed Solicitor-General. Tnier
