the Remi- niscences of Serjeant Ballantine. At a time when the Serjeants included in their ranks such men as Shee, Manning, Hayes, and Pigott, Lord Campbell stigmatised them as ' a very degenerate race, deserving only to be swept away ' (Life of Lord Campbell, ii. 277). Ballantine suggests that Campbell's contempt was due to the failure of men like Manning to turn their abilities to more lucrative account. JOHN. LORD CAMPBELL, LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE QUEEN'S BENCH From a portrait by Thomas A.... Wolnoth in the National Portrait Gallery i86i] LORD CAMPBELL 199 and physically. ' Thick-set as a navvy, as hard as nails,' was the graphic description of Fitzjames Stephen, whose first circuit brought him before the Chief Justice in 1854. Shortly before his death Lord Campbell told the late Mr. George Brodrick that he had never lost a tooth, and that he hoped the fact would be engraved on his tombstone.' A powerful constitution, temperate living,^ a singularly happy domestic life, and it may not unfairly be added, • a guid conceit o' himself,' had been proof against toil and ambition, and he now assumed without misgiving a burden to which, by common consent, he was admirably adapted.
