2-1868. He assisted the Crown officers in the prosecution of Queen Caroline; was made a judge of the King's Bench in 1828, and of the Exchequer in 1831; resigned in 1855, and was upon his resignation raised to the peerage with the title of Baron Wensleydale. A second patent was issued to remove a disability from sitting and voting in Parliament, which arose from the limitation of the first patent to the term of his natural life. See reference to Baron Parke's subtlety and eccentricity in Arn in England? An affirmative reply being made, he said, We shall not consider it entitled to the less attention because reported by a gentleman whom we all knew and respected. Sumner, when visiting England in 1857, received courtesies from Baron Wensleydale. Patteson spoke of your works, with which he is quite familiar. Abinger is not a student, I think. Coltman was an ordinary barrister with a practice of not more than five hundred pounds a year, and his elevation gave much dissatisfaction

his friendship has been to me a treasure and a solace. It is gone now; and England, with which he was so much associated in my mind, seems to me less England than before. I know how his family loved and cherished him, and therefore I can appreciate your sorrow. To lose his companionship is much; but on the other hand it is much to have had him so long, and still to have his example. You are now with my venerated friend Lord Wensleydale. Pray let him know that I think of him and Lady Wensleydale, and remember me also to your son, of whose marriage I hear. Richard Cobden died April 2, 1865. The intelligence was received in the United States immediately after the assassination of President Lincoln; and the public journals, in the same numbers which recounted the last scene in the life of Mr. Lincoln, gave their tributes to the English statesman who had befriended our cause. Sumner communicated officially to Mrs. Cobden the tribute to her husband's memory in the resolutions

I knew, more than I expected, and I had a very good time.

July 9.—We had a most delightful breakfast at Twisleton's this morning: Tocqueville, Sir Edmund Head, Senior, Stgs on Hyde Park. . . . . It almost amuses me sometimes to hear such people as old Lord Glenelg, old Lord Monteagle, Lord Ashburton, and your friends Lord and Lady Wensleydale, talk of our own little Ellen, who is really as attractive a lady, and as agreeable, as any I meet in society. As for Lord Lansdowne,—now seventy-seven,—who her, that she was an admitted paragon, and that paragons were not to his taste. At half past 10 in the evening—nobody goes to a party earlier— we went to Lady Wensleydale's, she and Lord Wensleydale being among Ellen's great admirers. A good many people were there, but not a crowd. I talked chiefly with Milnes, Lord B

pean News. The House of Lords on the 6th delivered judgment in the Alabama case. Six legal Lords were present. The Lord Chancellor first gave his judgment. He argued that under the provisions of an act known as the "Queen's Remembrancer Act, " there was no authority to make such rules as the Barons of Exchequer had made. He therefore moved that the appeal of the Crown be dismissed, with costs. Lords St. Leonards, Chelmsford, and Kingsdowne concurred, while Lords Cranworth and Wensleydale were in favor of the hearing of the appeal by the Exchequer Chamber. The appeal was therefore dismissed, with costs. The London Times remarks that the final decision has been pronounced on a technicality, subtle and narrow beyond even the ordinary narrowness of law. For the present the victory remains with the defendants. But it is impossible to suppose that the Government will acquiesce in the law as laid down by the two Senior Judges of the Exchequer, or fail to bring any new off
