My father (Lord Halsbury's brother) was a barrister and ultimately a judge to the day of his death, 1888. He had no interest whatever in green grocery stores," nor did he ever live in Torquay. I shall be 'grateful if you will kindly publish this letter.—! am, Sir, &c., MAGDALEN G. LITPLEWOOD, East Farleigh Vicarage, Kent.
