necitotes of the Chief Justices.
In - roading the lives of the Chief
4 Justices of England we have been
ainused with.the anecdotes mentioned
of.themn by Lord Camplbell. Th1e
folloviig we have gleaned frem his
adtiirable book, and give them to
outn readers instead of atn espny on
the value of the Union and the
Vlangers of secession.
',TWhe Chief Justices of England,
before the revolution which banished
tho-house of Stuart, were too often
bad mnen, Who disgraced their igh
positions, and becime the instruments
of tyranny. But English history is
W111 6f fou deeds, in Church an(
Stlte, oil tho Bench and. in the
Army, from the sovercign to the
peasant. There was scarcelv a
King or Queen of Ergland he)fore
the seventeenth century who did not
1particil)ate in soe horrible crime.
ulut Our -ohject, at present. is iot
'%ith i-oYalty, but with the Chief
Jt3isces, the creatures of royalty. In
ou1 .anecdlotes we shall not be
Lderned by any chronological or
q4i" -.therefore commence with
o11who figured-aifter the revolution.

to the professioni as an able, learned
and upright'Juidge ,who WVas as bold

sa distinction, but he was a vbigi
and always on the side of liberty. 5"

addicted to all sorts of lice: t ioustIess,

him -and convicted. Iloilt visited
Lim in jail and eiquired after their
comrides. "Ai,"' said the poor
fellow, "they are all hamiged b:it
inyself and youm lordship."
On oie occasion young Holt was
rambling over the country ad gW
outof money. He was staving at
ain old widow woman's, and finmdinge
her daughter sick with ague, hie
serawled somo Greek words on a
piece of parchment and told the
ilother to apply it to her daughter's
wrist aid keep it there till she
.gOtrwell. This recovery took place
imnumediately, and the parchment was
preserved as a charm. Many years
afterwards this old woman was in
-didiated before Chief Justice Iolt for
iing a; witl. It was said she was
in possession of a cbarm which could
spread or cure all diseases amongst
-cattle.. The necronatic parchmnenit
was produced in Court, and1(l to the
-surprise of the Chief Justice, lie
iec6gnized his own Greek letters.
Holt was cursed with a tei rible
oternagnant fou a wire, and they had
io childreni. She became in very
bad health and . called in as her
physician, one of Lord Hiolt's bit
.erest enemies. She g:tve as a
2reason for her selecti:on, that .she
t,...-Z .iW~iigrdoctor owed lier husband
.ant old spit", amnd that he would try
to cure her (on that account. Hie
sdcee~ded and Lady Hlolt survived,
many ,yepp-, the Chiecf Justice.
Holt was once offered the Great
Seal, and urged by King William to
accept the 'office of Lord Chancellor.
[nstead of accepting this high piosi.
idr'ho v'ery coolly replied that, whiist
at the bar he never had but one Chani

not thlink thut t~his qualified him to

th1 buble, with all of its power, hiat.
ronagoe and greatness, was declinied.
:A religious fanatic camne to the
Chief Justice one morning, and said
that hu was a P~rophet and had been
sent by God to dlemand~ of him that
he, tjie QhiefJustice, should enter a
nollinysji, on the indictmnenit
pierldig agaiplst a brother Prophet.
Hiolt i-eplied, lie was a false Prophet,
arudilied, for if' he hadl been secnt by
the Alrdghty to have a nolic
proserpmi entered, hc would have been
directed to go to the Attorney Geni

refuised to obey the summons. There
upon, the Speaker .of the Ihouse,

the Commons, the Chief Justice
replied from his seat that lie would
not obey him if lie had the whole
House of Commons in his belly, and
to get out of court pretty quick, or
he would have him arrested and
lodged in Ntwgati.
Ile was pronounced in contempt
of the I llie of Coinos, And a p

a, which has once or twice had a
1asniodic fit of Whiggery.' None of
[ese States have ever done anvthing
>r the Whig cause, except to furnish
lie party with- -ofice-holders; and
ven the men they elett as Whi-s
re wholly unreliable. If they should
ictate to the Democrpic party, they
-ould only be exerciiiug j. isdiction
ithin their innor; 'but .%.en they
ttempt to lord it over the Whig par
y, they encroach on foreigni soil, and
re mere interlopers. The Whig
arty never had any favors from
hem, and nover expect any; conse
Lueitly, the Whig party will not feel
.t all alarmed abuut their votes.
L'hey are universally conceded to the
socofoco States, and if they kvep
rcholly out of the convention, there
vill be no clamage done thereby to
he party. It is because they belong
o the Union, that they are eititled
o seats in a national convention
ot because they are calculated upon
o the extent of a straw in 'the tan:
.ass. h~e trust, therefore, that the
inidling melanagyer wil be treated
'th merited contempt, and tat 'no
niember of thec cov~fentionl will be in.
fluenced by their presence or absence.
1'here are some sublime stretches of
~arfaced imupudenace which should
not be tolerated, and this attempt ol
boceofoco States to dictate to the
Whuig party, is one of the sort."
