THE JUDGES AND SERJEANT'S INN.
[To THE EDITOR Or THE " SPECTATOE."1 SIR,—Upon the question whether the members of Serjeaut's Inn were justified in dividing the proceeds of sale (see Spectator, June 5th, p. 901) I do not intrude my opinion. But I think the time is come when I may say what -was the opinion of one of the most upright and justly honoured among them. The late Mr. Justice Denman--the Hon. George Denman of the "sixties "—felt so strongly the impropriety of the step that he employed the agency of a younger man, the writer of this letter, to transmit to a charity the whole of his share, merely stipulating, from reasons of delicacy to his professional colleagues, that his name should not be mentioned in connexion with the gift.—I am, Sir, &o., The Athenzwm, Pall Mall, S.W. GEORGE YOUNG.
