CHIEF JUSTICE coLERIDcEs ACCESSION.


Sir William Borill, the Lord Chief Jus.
tice OF the Common Pleas, died prematurely
in the plenitude Of his powers, and, as At
torney General, Sir John Coleridge was
entitled by prescription to the Inheritance.
He had no alternative but to accept the
traditionary right thus thrust upon him.
The whole bar, the press and the public
were unanimous in their opinion as to his
fitness 10 succeed, and in November, 1873,
he was sworn in as Lord Chief Justice Of the
Common Pleas. Ayear later he was raised
to the peerage Of the Uni:Jd Kingdom;
and thus his father, two years before his
death, had the satisisction ot seeing his
son complete casaer which, at the uni.
versity, ut the bar and on the bench, had
been but q repetition, only with still higher
distinction, OF his own. This circumstance
rendered the elevation OF the Lord Chief.
Justice unique, indeed almost unparalleled,
in the history Of the profession. There is
no more modern instance Of the kind than
that Of Sir Thomas More, who was Chancel-
Ior while his son was Judge. The Earl Of
Camden, son OF Chief Justice Pratt, be-
came Chief. Justice and Lord Chancellor,
but not until after his fathers death.
Byths Judicature Act OF 1870 the titles
OF Chief Justice OF the Common Pleas and
Chief Baron OF the Exchecquer were to be
merged in the title Of Lord Chief Justice OF
EHgIand, 10 which Lord Coleridge sue
cseded in November OF 1880, upon the
death Of Chiei. Baron Fitzroy Kelly speedily
followed by that Of Lord Chief Justice Cock
