He dined with the bar and the court, and responded to toasts at Bodmin, and more at length at Liverpool. To Judge day. He was received as a guest, sometimes with the familiarity of a kinsman, into the houses of Denman, Vaughan, Parke, Alderson, Langdale, and Coltman, among judges; of Follett, Rolfe (Lord Cranworth), Wilde, Crowder, Lushington, and D'Oyly, among who conceived a strong affection for him, met him at the Judges' dinner at Liverpool. Sydney Smith commended him to Baron Alderson; the baron introduced him to the Bishop of Durham; and at the bishop's he met Sir David Brewster, who invited him to ultiply speeches, nor dilate on the many causes I have to look back with thankfulness on that casual cup of coffee at Baron Alderson's, at Liverpool, which introduced us to each other.

He rejoiced to add that he was here among them at h he attached to any recommendation of such a man as Mr. Baron Alderson. In the mean time, it was gratifying to know that hffer epigrams in Greek,— or, at least, all came forward. Alderson, Wellesley, Brougham, Maltby, &c. contributed; and the ve, in February, 1839.
