Mr. Justice Grove has resigned, and his place is to

be filled up by raising Mr. Arthur Charles to the Bench. It is an excellent choice. Mr. Arthur Charles has long been a very distinguished advocate in ecclesiastical cases ; he is a man of great ability, fine judgment, and perfect discretion, and will add greatly to the strength of the Bench. The London University has now three very eminent Judges among its alumni,—Lord Justice Fry, Mr. Justice Wills, and Mr. Arthur Charles ; to say nothing of Mr. Justice Stephen, who is one of its legal graduates, though he was educated at Cambridge.
