served as such for 25 years and who has had a leader in The Times saying that he has received so many honours that he ought not to live-I think that was what His Excellency said in his speech)--you have not so many good fellows amongst you; and you have nothing like snob a good banker. (Loud cheers and much laughter). Well, now, gentlemen, after these eulogistic utterances, what passed through my mind was, how very little we are kuown outside our own immediate circle. I suppose with the exception of a few Downing Street officials, the Manches- ter, Liverpool, and Mincing Lane contingent, and a handful of globe trotters, this colony is very little better known amongst the general body of the public at home than it was twenty years ago. I fancy those old lines
You may zo, you may go,
You may go to Hongkong for mê
are just as applicable now as they were when we were boys. However, the night is no longer young, and I will condude by asking you cordi ally to drink the health of the Chist Justice, whom we all respect and esteem so highly. (Loud ⚫heers).
Band-"For he's a jolly good fellow."
The CHIEF JUSTICE-Gentlemen, I am very thankful to my friend Mr. MacEwen for the way in which he has proposed my health, and I am very grateful to you for the way in which you have received it. I don't intend to make a long speech upon this occasion. All I mean to Bay is I trust that when I leave you I may re- ceive an equally enthusiastic farewell. (Loud cheers).
