NECROLOGY.

DEATH OF LORD ROBERTSON.-The remains of Lord Rutherfurd were scarcely committed to the grave when another vacancy was caused on the bench of the First Division of the Court of Session of Scotland, by the sudden death of Lord Robertson. The learned judge had previously had one or two fits of an apoplectic character, and on Wednesday forenoon last he dropped down in his own house, Drummond-place, Edinburgh. The melancholy tidings very speedily reached the Court of Session, of which only the Second Division was sitting, trying a jury case in the recess, and the Lord Justice Clerk was so affected as to be unable to proceed with the case, which was accordingly adjourned. The late Patrick Robertson was called to the Scottish bar in 1815, and was for many years a leading counsel. In 1843, on the retirement of Lord Meadowbank, he was elevated to the bench. Besides possessing high forensic and judicial talents, Lord Robertson acquired considerable literary celebrity by the authorship of several volumes of poetry. The death of Lord Robertson adds to the remarkable mortality which has of late years visited the Scottish bench. From 1843 to 1850 Lord Robertson continued junior judge; since Jeffrey broke the ranks in January 1850, death has carried away nine of the thirteen judges then occupying the bench, and three subsequently raised to it. These twelve judges (one or two of whom had resigned shortly before their death) were Jeffrey, Mackenzie, Moncreiff, Lord President Boyle, Fullarton, Medwyn, Cunninghame, Cockburn, Robertson, Dundrennan, Anderson, and Rutherfurd, the three last-named having been appointed subsequent to Lord Jeffrey's death. The vacancy caused by the demise of Lord Rutherfurd will be filled up on the meeting of the whole court on Tuesday next, by the elevation of Mr. Craufurd, Solicitor-General of Scotland, who will take the title of Lord Ardmillan, and who will be succeeded in his present office by Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, Sheriff of Ross and Cromarty.
