NOTE.—He was admitted a student of the Inner Temple 7 Nov.
1810, but the Benchers refused to call him to the bar in 1819
on account of more than one verdict having gone against him in
actions affecting his character; at his request in 1821 they
examined into the particulars of the charges brought against
him, and came to a resolution that they saw no reason to alter
their determination. In 1834 he procured a committee of the
House of Commons to be appointed, at the head of which was
Daniel O’Connell to examine the evidence and that committee
reported in his favour, but the Benchers of the Inner Temple
nevertheless refused to call him to the bar.—No call of the
