The Right Hon. Thomas Berry Cusack-Smith, brother of the present Sir
Michael Cusack-Smith, Bart., is Master of the Rolls in Ireland, having been
appointed to that high office in January, 1846. His father, Sir William
Cusack-Smith, second baronet, was for many years Baron of the Court of
Exchequer in Ireland. And his grandfather, the Right Hon. Sir Michael
Smith, first baronet, was, like his grandson at the present day, Master of
the Rolls in Ireland.
Is not this "a case of rare succession in the annals of the law, and not
easily matched?"
