Lord Romilly has this week taken leave of the Rolls'

Court, after receiving the usual compliments of the Bar. He has been a very sensible and hardworking, though not a great Judge,—and has never dropped, and we trust will not drop, his connection with politics, where he has always shown himself a sound Liberal. If his successor be, as we suppose, Sir G. Jessel, it will be in- teresting to see whether Sir George will avail himself of. the exceptional privilege which enables the Master of the Rolls to retain a seat in the House of Commons. Will it be worth his while ? He does not shine as a.apolitician.
