MEMORANDA.

On the 1st of April 1834, the Right Honourable Thomas Denman, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, having been created a Peer by the style and title of Lord Denman, Baron Denman of Dovedale, in the County of Derby, was introduced in the usual form. His Lordship was a few days afterwards appointed by His Majesty's Commission, and sat on several occasions during that Session, as Speaker in the absence of the Lord Chancellor.

In Easter Term, 1834, Sir William Horne resigned the office of Attorney-General, and was succeeded by Sir John Campbell, His Majesty's Solicitor-General; Charles Christopher Pepys, Esq., one of His Majesty's Counsel, was appointed to the office of Solicitor-General, and received the honour of knighthood.

By Royal Warrant, dated the 25th of April 1834, the Court of Common Pleas was opened to the whole Bar (Vide note p. 487, infra.)

On the 16th of September 1834, the Right Honourable Sir John Leach, Master of the Rolls, died. In the following October, Sir Charles Christoper Pepys, His Majesty's SolicitorGeneral, was appointed to the office of Master of the Rolls, and Robert Monsey Rolfe, Esq., one of His Majesty's Counsel, was some time after appointed to the office of Solicitor General.

On Friday the 21st of November 1834, Lord Brougham and Vaux resigned the Great Seal, which was on the same day delivered to Lord Lyndhurst, who took the oaths and his seat in the Court of Chancery on the 22d, and continued to hold the office of Lord Chief Baron, together with that of Lord Chancellor, until the 23d of the following December.
