THE CHIEF JUSTICES OF ENGLAND.
The Lives of the Chief Justices of England,from the Norman Conquest
till the death of Lord Mansfield. By JOHN LORD CAMPBELL, LL. D.
A PLEASANT and entertaining book, and not devoid ofinstruction. Pass-
ing over the barren details of such comparatively insignificant people as
the murderer Fitz James, the sycophant Montague, the buffoon Richard-
-son, the prodigal Pemberton, vile Scroggs, weak Lee, and silly Ryder,
we will proceed to the more interesting picture of the life of the excellent
Sir Matthew Hale, whose public as well as private character, is well
worthy of imitation. The learned author gives an amusing account of
Hale's having been taken by a press-gang, owing to the shabbiness of his
dress, and having been rescueil by some of his brother students of Lin-
coln's Inn. When he was set at liberty, he went immediately to pur-
chase some cloth for a new suit of clothes, and on making some objection
to the price of it, the draper said to him-
' You shall have it for nothing, if you will promise me 1001. when you
come to be Lord Chief Justice of England.' He answered, 'I cannot,
with a good conscience, wear any man's cloth unless I pay for it.' So he
satisfied the draper, says Lord Campbell, and carried away the cloth.
They afterwards met and recounted this conversation in the reign of
Charles the Second, when the law student had risen to be Chief Justice
of England, and the draper to be an Alderman of London.
