the notorious litieant. he was nearly
80 years of age and had been an in
mate Of tie WorknouSe off and on for

He will be chiefly remembered for his
association with the Iravers Twiss
case, which had the effect of driving
Sir Travers Twiss out OF public life
although ct the time. besides being
vicar general of the province OF Can
tcrbury. he was also one of the leading
queens counsel. II was q sensational
suit, in the course of which ChatfeIS,
in brutal and inSultin" croSS-eNamin-

| compromising admissions. Although
Claffers won his case the presiding
magistrate denounced him for his con-
duct % it. telling him that he would
live an object OF contempt to all honest
men.
Notwithstanding this. Chatfers who
was q lawyer. pursued his lirigiouS ca
