The London Oficial Gazette contains
the announcement that tho Prince OF
'alcs has appointed George Cave. *
I c.. to be his Attorney General. George
Cave is Unionist member OF PaISla-
ment for the Kingston Division OF
Surrey, was for sixteen years chair
man of Quarter Sessions Is recorder
of Guildford. and belongs to that Tory
stronghold, the Carlton Club AS At
torney General to the Prince OF Wales,
/ ii Will be his duty to look after all
the legal questions that may arise In
connection with the administration OF
the prisce's duchy of Cornwall and to
furnish 10 the heir apparent any legal
advice OF which he may stand In need.
/ 1t Is on comparatively rare occa-
sions that the Attorney General Is
called upon to appear In court In be-
half of his royal client. Thus the last
/ instance of the Acknowledgement oil
/ tho Prince of Wales figuring in any
1 trial WAS when Edward VII, prior to
4 his accession to the throne, was sum
moncd as witness in the case of Sir
I Gordon Cumming against the Wilson's
I OF Tranby Croft, popularity known az
/ the baccarat case, and before that, In
4 1870, when the same prince was called

cleared ny n jury of his countrymen

services of his Attorney General, no

| with his Brunswick consort, after
wards Queen Caroline.
Tho duties OF the office OF Attorney
! General to tho Prince of Wales are not
particularly heavy, and IL tho appoint
ment Is coveted, II is on account OF
its social prestige, rather than for it's
legal importance. 1t Is invariably
held by n distinguished member of the
bar the immediate predecessors Of
George Cave having been Sir James
Ihesiser, Sir Charles Hail. and Charles
Alfred Cripps. who has been raised to
the peerage as Lord Parmoor.
