Leaves Great Seal Behind.

annual meeting of the American Bar As
ISOLATION. unlike his famoues predecessor,
Cardinal Wolsey. as lord chancellor, he
will leave the great seal of state at home
in charge of commission.
The viscount is the first lord chancellor
to leave the shores Of England since
Wolsey went on his noted embassy to
France. Both had to secure the express
permission of the. sovereign TO make the
trip, but instead of leaving the great
seal at home Lord Wolsey carried II
with him and his use Of 1t while abroad
was one of the contributing causes OF his
subsequent downfall.
Lord Brougham, a succeeding lord
chancellor, did not leave Great Britain
with the great seal, but the careless man
ner in which he feft it lying about led
to a great scandal and forfeited the con-
ldence of the king.

six wears. during which time he has a

average of 800. In other words. on the
average Collins has hclded 2l points bet
