HISTORY OF THE BENCH AND BAR.
after he had concluded to remain in London he was joined by his wife and infant son, taking a house in George street, Hanover Square, which he occupied until his death in 1814, and which his son, Lord Lyndhurst, continued to occupy until his death in 1863. It was at first the intention of the father to educate his son as an artist, and with that view he at one time attended a course of lectures. His education in other respects was received at a private school in the Manor House, at Chiswick, under Dr. Horne, the father of Sir William Horne, the attorney-general. At the age of eighteen, an artist's career having been abandoned, he was sent to Trinity College, Cambridge, with the following entry of matriculation: " July 8, 1790 .- Admissus est Pensonarius Johannis Singleton Copley, filius Johannis Singleton Copley, de Boston in America è scholê apud Chiswick in Middlesexta sub praesides Doctoris Horne, annos natus 18. Magistro Jones Tutore." In 1794 he came out second wrangler and Smith's prize- man, and on the 17th of May entered as a student Lincoln's Inn. Returning to Cam- bridge he was appointed in 1795 one of the "Traveling Bachelors" of the univer- sity. He visited America with Volney, the author, and was required by the terms of his appointment to observe everything of importance, and address letters in Latin to the vice-chancellor. His first letter described Washington, Georgetown, and Alex- andria; his second, the president and Mt. Vernon ; and his third, general incidents of travel and the Indians. Returning to England in 1798 he was called to the bar of Lincoln's Inn in Trinity term 1804, and joined the Midland Circuit, of which he soon became the leader. He was raised to the dignity of the coif in 1813, and rung out of Lincoln's Inn, in accordance with the custom of ringing the chapel bell when a member of the Inn was made sergeant at law, and of presenting him with a purse of money as a retaining fee for any future service in behalf of the society. At that time he was in politics an advanced liberal or radical, and after a noted trial in which his ability was recognized by the Duke of Wellington and Lord Liverpool, he was made a member of Parliament for the pocket borough of Yarmouth in the Isle of Wight. He took his seat in March, 1818, and by his first address in favor of the extension of the duration of the Alien bill won from his opponents the name of turn-coat. After his membership for Yarmouth he was returned to Parliament for Ashburton in Devonshire, and in 1826 for the University of Cambridge with Palmerston. In 1819 he was appointed solicitor-general and knighted, and in 1824 attorney-general as the successor of Sir Robert Gifford. In 1827 he became chancellor and was raised to the peerage as Baron Lyndhurst, of Lyndhurst. In 1830 Lord Grey was made premier and he resigned the seals and was appointed chief baron of the Court of Exchequer, holding the office four years. In 1834 he became again lord chancellor, resigning the position of chief baron, and remained in office one year. In 1834 he received from Cambridge the degree of D.C.L. In 1840 he was appointed lord high steward of the University of Cambridge, and in 1841, under the premiership of Sir Robert Peel, was again made lord chancellor. He remained in office until his resignation with his party in 1846. The writer remembers him as he appeared in the latter year, when he had an opportunity of hearing from his lips one of those touches of sarcasm for which he was distinguished. In replying to Lord George Bentinck, an able statesman, but a somewhat ardent lover of horses and the race course, he indulged in the satirical compliment of alluding to him as the man of a stable mind. In 1819 he married Sarah, widow of Colonel Thomas, one of the heroes of Waterloo, and in

SAMUEL PHILLIPS PRESCOTT FAY, son of Jonathan and Lucy (Prescott) Fay, was born in Concord, Mass., January 10, 1778, and graduated at Harvard in 1798.

He served as captain during Shays's Rebellion, and in 1809 was on the staff of Governor Gore. He began practice in Cambridgeport, and in 1818-19 was a member of the Executive Council. In 1820 he was a member of the State Constitutional Convention, and May 1, 1821, was ap- pointed judge of probate of Middlesex county, which office he resigned in March, 1856. Judge Fay was from 1824 to 1852 a member of the Board of Overseers of Har- vard College, and was at one time grand master of the Grand Lodge of the Masonic Order. For many years before his death, which occurred at his home, May 18, 1856, his residence was in Old Cambridge, near the Washington Elm. During the period of twenty-five years in which he administered the probate affairs of Middlesex county, he exhibited to a marked degree those qualities of mind and heart which are so essential in the intimate relations of that office to the private and often confidential concerns of the people. He was universally respected and beloved. He married Harriet, daughter of Samuel Howard, of Boston, one of the famous " tea party" of pre-revolutionary days, who died July 28, 1847, and after eight years, on the 18th of May, 1856, he followed her to the grave. Richard Sullivan Fay, one of his sons, a member of the Suffolk bar and included in this register, died in Liverpool, England, July 6, 1865, and Joseph S. Fay, another son, who for many years was a partner in the commercial house of Padelford & Fay, of Savannah, Ga., is now living, retired from business, at his home in Wood's Hole in Barnstable county, with a winter resi- dence on Mt. Vernon street, Boston.

He had been previously president of the Court of Sessions, and though not regularly educated for the profes- sion, the members of the Plymouth bar voted for his admission in consideration of " his respectable official elevation, learning and abilities, on condition that he study three months in some attorney's office." He was subsequently before 1807 admitted as counsellor by the Supreme Court in Suffolk county, and he continued to practice in Rochester until August, 1835, when he retired. He was a member of the State Con- stitutional Convention in 1820, and of the Executive Council from 1821 to 1823. He died at Rochester, September 7, 1839.

THOMAS RILEY, son of Thomas and Rose (Smith) Riley, was born in the county of Cavan, Ireland, in December, 1846. The family of O'Reilly is among the most noted in Irish history. Its ancestor, Duach Galach, king of Connaught, was converted to Christianity in the fifth century by Saint Patrick, who baptized him on the banks of Loch Scola. For more than a thousand years the annals of Ireland trace it through a long line of powerful chieftains of East Breifay (county Cavan). The military and civil achievements of its members include brilliant service in Austria, France and Spain during the last two centuries. The subject of this sketch came to Boston with his mother when four years of age, and received his education at the Boston public schools, including at the last the Quincy Grammar School.

to the United States Supreme Court in 1885. Few men at the bar have been admitted so young, and with the limited advantages enjoyed by him for academic study, his early admission sufficiently attests the industry and perseverance which have always characterized him. Since his admission he has always been in business alone, and, relying wholly on his own resources, with no patron to advise or aid him, he has achieved a success of which more favored children of fortune might be justly proud. It may be mentioned as an unusual circumstance that during his whole career he has never been assisted by senior counsel, and thus in the management of his suits in court as in the moulding of his professional life his own skill and energy have been relied on, and have proved sufficient for his work. His business has been largely in the criminal line, and during the last four years of the life of Joseph H. Bradley, at that time the leading criminal lawyer at the Suffolk bar, most of his defenses were assumed and conducted by Mr. Riley. The remarkable verdict of acquittal wrested by him from a jury, before whom in the trial of Joseph Fowle in 1889 the prisoner was identified as the operator in perhaps the most singular series of frauds ever per- petrated in an intelligent community, served to confirm a reputation for ingenuity and legal skill already well established. In his speech he is pungent, witty, and at times eloquent, and has always had the respect and confidence of the judges, without which success is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. He has devoted himself al- most exclusively to professional pursuits, seeking no political office, and looking for recreation in his home and among his books, of which he has a choice and abundant collection, where he finds food for the further growth of his literary tastes, and of his already well stored mind. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Conven- tion in 1872, and has been president of the Charitable Irish Society, and occasionally indulges himself in writing essays and editorials, and in delivering lectures. He married in Charlestown, Margaret, daughter of the late Lawrence McCormick, an accomplished architect in the county of Longford, Ireland, and resides in Beacon street, Boston.
