The Right Hon. Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench - sketched by Lincoln on Monday last, 1850. 'On Monday morning, Lord Campbell took his seat at Lincoln, for the first time, as Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, to which high office he has just been appointed...On Lord Campbell entering the court, the members of the Bar rose and made their obeisance. An Artist of Lincoln sketched, for our Journal, the accompanying Portrait of his Lordship, listening to Mr. Humfrey, Q C., in the first cause tried, "Peniston v. Dawber and others," an action for debt to recover the price of a boiler, in which a verdict was returned for the plaintiff to the full amount claimed. The cause-list was very heavy for the county of Lincoln. His Lordship sat till half-past nine o'clock at night'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
