23. Death of Lord Reston-At Glendoick, the Rt. Hon. David Douglas, Lord Reston, one of the Senators of the College of Justice, and one of the Lords Commissioners of the High Court of Justiciary. His Lordship, who was associated with Lord Gillies on the northern circuit, was to have opened the court at Perth with that judge on the Monday following, and had gone, for a few days previous to that event, to visit his relation, Major Craigie of Glendoick. The morning on which he died he joined the family at breakfast, and appeared then to be in his usual health and spirits. At 10 o'clock he retired to his own apartment, and requested that, as he had several important papers to examine, he might not be interrupted till one o'clock, at which time he ordered his carriage to be in readiness to convey him to Rossie-Priory. At the hour appointed one of the family went to inform his Lordship that the carriage was waiting; but, on entering his room, was no less shocked than surprised, to find him stretched lifeless on the floor. From the position in which the body was discovered, it is conjectured, that his Lordship, the moment he felt himself indispos ed, had risen from the table, (at which he had been looking over his papers,) to ring the bell for assistance; but not being able to reach it, had fallen forward in the attempt, so as to strike his face against the corner of a chair, and occasion a slight effusion of blood from one of the temples.Medical assistance was procured as speedily as possible from Perth, but the vital spark had been too long gone for it to be of any avail. His death seems to have proceeded from the rupture of a large blood vessel, either in the head or the chest. By this deplorable event, his family has sustained an irreparable loss, while the country has been deprived prematurely of the services of a most upright and intelligent judge. Seldom, indeed, have so much legal knowledge and perspicacity of judgment been conjoined with an equal appearance of diffidence in the exercise of qualities so necessary to a judge, as were exemplified in the character of Lord Reston. Conscientious to an extreme, he seems scarcely ever to have pronounced a decision without being, as it were, oppressed with an overwhelming sense of the deep responsibility attached to the sacred duties he was called upon to discharge; a trait in his charac ter, which, though it sometimes produced an appearance of embarrassment in the delivery of his sentiments, added greatly to the solidity of his opinions, and gave them a corresponding influence with the bench. Of his private character we presume not to give an opinion, farther than to state, that he exhibited in the various relations of life an exemplary display of all the virtues, which, as a judge, it was his duty to en

courage and protect. Lord Reston entered to the bar in 1791, was for some years Sheriff of the county of Berwick, and succeeded Lord Craig as a Judge of the Court of Session in 1813, and Lord Meadowbank, as a Lord of Justiciary, in 1816. The remains of Lord Reston were on Thursday the 27th interred in the tomb of the late Dr Adam Smith, Canongate church yard, Edinburgh, to whom he was nearly related, in the presence of a great number of sorrowing friends and relatives.
