PENNEFATHER, John, Esq. It is with great regret we announce the death of this lamented gentleman (the last surviving son of Baron Pennefather), after a few days' illness. Mr. Pennefather attended as Crown prosecutor at the Tipperary assizes, where he caught typhus fever, which, from the first, was considered of the most malignant type, and under the effects of which his strength became utterly prostrated. DEATH OF TWELVE SCOTTISH JUDGES SINCE 1850.-One of the most noticeable circumstances in Scotland is the demise of another Judge of the Supreme Court-Lord Robertson,-who dropped down suddenly and expired in his own house, at Edinburgh, on the 10th February. The mortality which has occurred in the Scottish Bench is unexampled. Since Lord Jeffrey's decease, in 1850, no fewer than nine of the thirteen Judges of the Court of Session then on the Bench have died, besides three appointed since 1850. These twelve Judges were Jeffrey, Mackenzie, Moncreiff, Lord President Boyle, Fullarton, Medwyn, Cunninghame, Cockburn, Robertson, Dundrennan, Anderson, and Rutherford; the three last named having been appointed subsequently to Lord Jeffrey's death. The vacancy caused by the demise of Lord Rutherford has been filled up by the elevation of Mr. Crauford, Solicitor-General of Scotland, who takes the title of Lord Ardmillan, and who is succeeded in his former office by Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, sheriff of Ross and Cromarty. Lord Robertson was called to the Bar so early as 1815, and raised to the Bench in 1843. As a lawyer he was eminent; but law was not his only attainment. He was a man of remarkable humour, and of late years, to the astonishment of the public, he revealed a vein of poetry for which he had not received credit.
