fave trouble, I have caufed the inftrument to be prepared, as you will here fee." He then introduced the paper, which after Mr. Montague had perufed, and found proper, the Earl figned. The mafter underwrote it, and afterwards dispatched it to the Lord Chancellor's houfe, who laid it before the King. Earl Mansfield has been Chief of the King's Bench exactly thirty-two years, having been raised thereto in May 1756, on the decease of Sir Dudley Ryder. Soon after his Lordship's refignation was fignified, the following was fent to him. It was figned by the Counsel of the King's Bench Bar, who had practifed in the Court during his Lordship's adminiftration. To the EARL of MANSFIELD. It was our wish to have waited perfonally upon your Lordship in a body, to have taken our public leave of you on your retiring from the office of Chief Juftice of England; but judging of your Lordship's feelings upon fuch an occafion by our own, and confidering befides, that our numbers might be inconvenient, we defire in this manner affectionately to affure your Lordship, that we regret with a just sensibility, the lofs of a Magiftrate, whofe confpicuous and exalted talents conferred dignity upon the profeffion; whofe enlightened and regular adminiftration of justice made its duties lefs difficult and laborious, and whofe manners rendered them pleasant and refpectable. But while we lament our lofs, we remember with peculiar fatisfaction, that your Lordfhip is not cut off from us by the fadden ftroke of painful diftemper, or the more diftreffing ebb of thofe extraordinary faculties which have fo long diftinguished you amongst men; but that it has pleafed God to allow to the evening of an ufeful and illuftrious life BI If I have given fatisfaction, it is owing to the learning and candour of the bar; the liberality and integrity of their practice freed the judicial investigation of truth and justice from difficulties. The memory of the affiftance I have received from them, and the deep impreffion which the extraordinary mark they have now given me of their approbation and affection, has made upon my mind, will be a fource of perpetual confolation in my decline of life, under the preflure of bodily infirmities, which made it my duty to retire. I am, Dear Sir, with gratitude to you and the other Gentlemen, Your most affectionate, Caen-Wood, June 18, 1788. RTH S. PREFER MENT S. THE Right Hon. Sir Lloyd Kenyon, bart.
