Vice-Chancellor Charles Hall, 1873. Engraving from a photograph by John Watkins. 'The new Vice-Chancellor appointed successor to the late Sir John Wickens took his seat in his court last week. "Mr. Charles Hall," says the Solicitors Journal, "is well known to our readers as a lawyer of great experience and eminence. He was for a considerable time one of the conveyancing counsel to the Court of Chancery, which appointment he only recently resigned, and is an acknowledged authority on the law of real property. His general practice in the court has also been very extensive. Mr. Hall was called to the Bar in the year 1838, and, like his predecessor, has never worn a silk gown".' From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
