His appointment as Chief-Justice was promoted by Brougham. Life of Lord Denman, Vol. I. p. 318; Brougham's Autobiography, Vol. III. p. 220. He invited Sumner to a dinner at Guildhall, and several times welcomed him at his own house in Portland Place. He wrote to Mr. Justice Coleridge, in Oct., 1841: Did Patteson tell you that Story had sent me, through Sumner, a complete approbation of our proceedings in re Stockdale?—the more valuable because he is entirely opposed to a decision of ours of much less importance,—Devaux v. Salvador [a marine insurance case]. I was not aware of his having sent us any work of his; but in answer to Sumner's question, how he could best repay English hospitality, I said: Come again, and bring Story. —Life of Lord Denman, Vol. II. p. 88.
