Retirement of Lord Chief Justice Erie.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS-THIS DAY.

In conformity with the announcement which ap-
peared in the papers for some time past, Lord Chief
Justice Erie this day retired from the important
position he has so long occupied on the bench as
the Chief Judge of this Court. Long before the
ordinary business of the Court had been
transacted every portion• of the building
was crowded by members of the bar, and
several ladies were accommodated with seats in the
gallery. Indeed the crowd was so great that it was
with much difficulty the members of the press were
enabled to discharge their duties. All the judges
of the court resumed their seats on the bench shortly
after one o'clock. .

The Attorney-General rose, and said that he at-
tended there that day on behalf of the bar for the
purpose of expressing to the Lord Chief Justice, on
this the last day of his presiding in that court, the
great respect and vemeration which were felt by the
body at large towards his lordship for the manner in
which he had discharged for so many years the
important duties of the judicial bench. Per-
haps if the wishes of the learned judge were con-
sulted he should have abstained from paying
that tribute to his eminent services, but there
were cases in which the impulses of the heart
should be obeyed, and the present occasion
was one of them. Occupying the position he did,
and partaking largely of the general feeling of the
bar, he could not forego the pleasure of giving ut-
terance to the general sentiment which the learned
Judge had inspired in the mind of the bar from the
upright and efficient manner in which he adminis-
tered the law, and which had inspired confidence in
the public mind. The right hon. and learned gen-
tleman then referred to the past career of the
learned lord in brief but eloquent terms, and at the
conclusion of his address a murmur of applause ran
through the court.

Lord Chief Justice Erle, who appeared much
affected, said he felt deeply the manner in which
the feeling of the bar towards him had been ex-
pressed, and the remembrance of it would always be
accompanied by a deep sense of gratitude. He should
also feel grateful when he remembered the assistance
he had received from the bar, and which enabled
him to discharge his duties in a satisfactory man-
ner. He was also deeply indebted to the learned
judges with whom he had been so long associated,
and from whom he derived the greatest possible
assistance by an interchange of thought. lie then
expressed his personal feeling towards the Attorney-
General for the kind manner in which he bore
testimony to the services he bad rendered, which
induced his belief that his labours had not been in

vain.
The Court then adjourned.
