and Granville came in in 1806, but resumed his seat in 1807 
and kept it for twenty years. He resigned when Canning 
succeeded Lord Liverpool, and was followed by Lord Lynd- 
hurst. While he was in practice his income became such 
that he purchased the estate of Eldon for £22,000. In 1816 
a mob broke into his house, and the House of Commons kept 
attacking him and his court. He did perhaps more than any 
other chancellor to reduce equity to a system. He was a 
man of extensive learning-, courteous and just in his decisions, 
but slow and unprogressive. 
Tenterden (1762-1832). Charles Abbott (Lord Tenterden) 
was one of the able judges of the King’s Bench. He suc- 
ceeded Lord Ellenborough as chief justice in 1818 after he had 
served as judge for two years, and was made Baron Tenterden 
in 1827. He was a man of common sense and justice, and 
introduced bills for the limitation of actions and for uniform- 
ity of procedure, altho he opposed many other reform bills. 
He was the son of a wigmaker and hair-dresser, made a fine 
record in grammar school and at Oxford, and specialized as 
special pleader and was junior counsel when Lord Eldon, 
Redesdale, and Ellenborough were attorneys-general. 
Campbell (1781-1861). John Campbell is noted for his 
Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Lives of the Chief Justices, 
which are invaluable sources of information about these great 
English judges, but which contain too much Campbell, and 
are not as reliable as Foss’s Lives. He also was chief justice 
of the Queen’s Bench for nearly ten years and held the office 
of lord chancellor for sixteen days, when he died from the 
bursting of an artery. He was indefatigable in all of his 
pursuits and succeeded well as judge in both the Queen’s 
Bench and Chancery, in spite of the fact that the practice in 
chancery was new to him. He attained these offices after 
prior experience typical of English judges. He was a gradu- 
ate of the University of St. Andrews; entered Lincoln’s Inn 
and Mr. Tidd’s office ; was reporter on the Morning Chronicle ; 
reporter of cases; king’s counsel (thru the influence of his 
father-in-law, Lord Abinger) ; solicitor-general; attorney-gen- 
eral; and lord chancellor of Ireland and chancellor of the 
duchy of Lancaster. Thruout life he was a conservative Whig. 
The other lawyers of this period who should be mentioned 
are Alexander Weddenburn (Lord Loughborough) (1733-
