Wilbraham ; and the Hon. Mr. Bathurst by Mr. Hume Campbell and Mr. Noel. At the enter- tainment on the above occasion, which was extremely grand, were present eighteen peers, besides many other persons of great honour and distinction."

The Attorney-General was Sir William Murray (Lord Mansfield in 1776), whose appointment was announced in The Public Advertiser of April 11, 1754, and it is because his tenure of office had by July been so short that the ceremony indicated by Fielding is reduced to a small compass of inquiry. The Black Books of Lincoln's Inn (vol. iii.) show that Wilbraham was Treasurer of the Inn in 1754 and Noel in 1755, and further- more that 10l. 10s. (plus eighteen pence for a purse) were presented to Ryder "on going out serjeant."
