In 1376 this Adam was sum. to Pari, as a Baron. See "Clifton," Barony, cr. 1 376. ( b ) Thus "within 3 years [he] passed thro' 3 legal offices, Attorney-Gen., Lord Justice of Appeal, and Lord Chancellor ; rising from a practising Barrister to the highest seat in the law, from a simple member of the House of Commons to the Speakership of the House of Lords, and, after less than 10 months enjoyment of that honourable office, has been entrusted with the still more responsible position of the Leadership of the Conservative party in the House of which he had been so short a time a member. Such a rapid advance as this has never been before witnessed, such proof of confidence is almost unparallelled." See Foss' "Lives of the Judges of England."
