MARCH 12, 1902.] PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. ISi I hope, on some future occasion, to point out how easy it is for the student to be called to the outer Bar, to secure the patents of a King's Counsel, and to ascend the Bench, and ultimately become Lord Chancellor. But on the present occasion I have occupied the valuable space placed at my disposal by introductory remarks. I will content myself by answering one of the many questions put to me by stating that I have never allowed myself to become Lord Chancellor because I conscientiously object to mixing up law with politics. (Signed) Pump Handle Court.
