OXONIENSIS.

_Mr. Justice Newton._--There is a very stiff Indian-ink copy of a portrait

in the _Sutherland Illustrated Clarendon_, in the Bodleian Library, the

original of which I should be glad to trace. It is described in the

Catalogue to be "by Bulfinch," {529} which is probably a mistake. It bears

the following inscription:

"This is drawn from the painting in the hands of Mr. Justice Newton of

the Middle Temple."

Can any one inform me when this learned justice lived; or rather, for it

concerns me more, when he died? And farther, if it be not too hopeless an

inquiry to make, who his existing representatives (if any) may be?
