Scope and Contents

Letter from Lord Loreburn [earlier Sir Robert Reid, Lord Chancellor] (8 Eaton Square [London]) to WSC. Lord Loreburn has received a letter from [Henry] Stanger who had declined to resign as Recorder [of Nottingham] when made County Court Judge, as he intended to hold the positions simultaneously for a year, and had been offered o100 to resign by Sir Ryland Adkins. Lord Loreburn's opinion is that it would have been "proper" for Stanger to resign to spare his successor a by election and that the offer of o100 should not have been made. When Lloyd Morgan was made a County Court Judge, he would have been told that he would have to resign his Recordership [of Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales] within a year, and Lord Loreburn had tried unsuccessfully to see him to persuade him to resign to avoid a by election. He describes Lloyd Morgan's actions as "very unfortunate". Signed manuscript.
