ious to know the feelings of myself and
colleagues on our removals, as well as the nature of our
compensations, I will endeavour to detail them as well as I can.

With respect to Mr. Wolf, the first act was to claim the reversion
recommended for him by Lord Westmoreland, and promised above a year
ago by Mr. Pitt, and which the King had actually signed, as a
measure for negotiation. Wolf _in vain_ argued that the reversion
was not a subject for negotiation. They offered him a Peerage for
his wife, and a Chief Judge's place. Wolf, in addition, asked
precedency at the Bar. After some days, the precedency was refused,
and the promise of a Chief Judge's place was retracted. Wolf
insisted on the promise. He was threatened that if he insisted, he
should be superseded. He did insist, and the promise was at length
renewed, in case a vacancy should happen.

Mr. Wolf gains nothing but the Peerage for his wife, for the
reversion was actually his own, and had been signed by the King;
the promise of a Chief Justiceship is very precarious, and he is
degraded in his profession.

Mr. Toler, having in his pocket the promise of succeeding to the
Attorney-Generalship, is to be superseded for Mr. Curran. He has
asked for a Peerage to his wife, and for the succession to Lord
Carleton. Upon his first demand, nothing has been said to him; upon
his second, it has been intimated that he may _look_ for any seat
on the Bench short of Chief Justiceship. Your Lordship must guess
that Mr. Toler feels himself _gratified_, especially when he
recollects that, after having boldly and manfully, at the risk of
his person, set himself against all the seditious and levellers in
and out of the House, he is sacrificed to make way for Mr. Curran,
who has been the most seditious incendiary in Ireland ever since he
became a public character.

Mr. Beresford your Lordship may have probably seen. He, it seems,
was dismissed because he was king of Ireland, as Bowes Daly
authoritatively informed him in his Excellency's name. The object
with respect to him was to publicly degrade him, give him a
provision during pleasure, then attack him, and have a pretext to
ruin him, if he should defend himself with spirit. He has been
acquainted that, in pursuance of a resolution of the House of
