disembark quietly with the other pasSen-
gers; so, though there has been some talk
OF chartering a tug and going down the bay
to meet him, l do not think We shall do
anything OF the sort. / look on this visit
OF one of the highest judicial dignitaries
OF England as an important event. In the
first place, | do not know whether il has
occurred to the public in Lord Chief JUS
tice Coleridge we shall welcome the highest
~functionary who has ever left England To
visit America. Next to royalty, there is
only one higher, the lord chancellor, and
he, by the terms of the law, can only
leave his post by putting the great seal in
to commission, a troublesome and eXpen-
sive proceeding. costing some 5000, and
only to be resorted to in case OF urgent
necessity. Again, it is an event of the
deepest interest to the legal profession
here. Our entire legal machinery and
statutes are based primarily on those'Of
England, but we nave adapted them to
the necessities OF the times and the prac-
teal spirit OF the American people. Eng
and is now following in our footsteps, and
little by little casting aside all the cum
brous forms and obsolete statutes which
were left from past centuries. Though
the English have not codified their avs
as we have, they have repealed hundreds
of the old statutes and nave adopted Il
comprehensive index which almost an
swers the purpose of a code. The high
courts, formerly exercising independent
jurisdiction, are now all termed divisions
of the High Court of Justice, such as the
Common Pleas Division of the High Court
of Justice, the Chancery Division, and so
on. With Lord Coleridge will arrive Chief
| Justice Hammer, OF the Admiralty, Pro
| bate and Divorce Division, while Lord
Justice Bowen, who arrived this morning,
is one of the Chief Justices of Appeal"
Lord Chief-Justice COleridge, accompa-
MED by his son, the Hon. Gilbert James
Duke Coleridge, Sir James Hammer, presi-
dent of the Probate. Divorce and Admiral
ty Division OF the High Court of Justice,
| and Charles Russell, an eminent barrister
| and member of Parliament for the borough
Of Dundalk, Ireland, come with him but
not rs the guests OF the New Gork State
Bar Association, on whose invitation Lord
Coleridge makes the visit. The formal re-
| ception will take place in New York City,
at the Academy of Music, on Thursday,
the 18th of October. The Reception Com
mittee on that occasion will consist of 80
of the leading lawyers and citizens of the
State. C~hief-Justice VIM. C.. Ruger. of the
Court Of Appeals. the president of the Bar
| Association, will preside and make a speech
OF welcome. Lord Coleridge will probably
