There -has been a universal consensus of opinion in favour
of the appointment of Sir Robert Finlay as Lord Chancellor. It is riot too much to say that no man is more highly respected at the Bar. One feels that the fine oath of the Lord Chancellor can ' never prove an empty form in his case. The Chancellor, it will be remembered, promises that he will " well and truly Beret-soar Sovereign Lord-King George V. in the office: of Lord HigleChaneellor of Great Britain," and that ho will " do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of this realm without fear or favour, 'affection or ill will." Sir Robert Finlay in the whole of his long political 'career has never looked for place •or power or worldly honours or lain in wait for them. He has attained them as very few men attain them—solely on his merits and because be deserved them.
