Liberal party. Appointed Attorney-General 1835, Baron of the Exchequer
1836, and Master of the Rolls 1837. He was earnest in his endeavours to
promote the ends of justice, courteous in manners, and kind in
disposition. All parties esteemed and admired him for his judicial
conduct, and, after his decease, Lord Lyndhurst, a political opponent,
paid a just and feeling tribute to his memory.
