It is unkindly suggested that his .appointment was made to kill by shock .tho large number of ex-Lords Chancellor still living and drawing large pensions, and thus to savo th'j country's money.
"The country was as much amused as affronted when Sir F. E. Smith becamo Attorney-Genera!; but it is carrying a ioke beyond the limits of pleasantry to tuako him Lord Chancellor. There arc gradations in these matters," says tho "Morning Post." There are now five ex-Lords Chancellor, the first four of irhoni are drawing pensions of i3oo:— . Lord HaUbury, pensioned since 15M15. ■ Lord Loreburn, pensioned since 1012. Lord Haldane. pensioned since 1915. Lord Buckmaster, pensioned since 191 G.
