The following epitaph on Lord Westbury has been circulated through

the Innis :— • " Richard Baron Westbury,

Lord High Chancellor of England.

He was an eminent Christian, An energetic and successful Statesman, And a still more eminent and successful Judge. During his three years' tenure of office He abolished The time-honoured institution of the litolvents' Court, The ancient mode of conveying land, And The Eternity of Punishment. Towards the close of his earthly career, In the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, He dismissed Hell with costs, And took away from orthodox members of the Church of England Their last hope of everlasting damnation."
