DEATH OF BARON ALDERSON.
We have to record the death of Sir Edward Hall Alderson, one of the Barons of the Exchequer, which event took place at his town residence in Park-crescent on Tuesday afternoon, at a quarter before five o'clock. Since last Sunday morning the learned Baron had been sinking, and from that period no hopes were given be the eminent medical gentlemen of the probability of his recovery. The deceased was the eldest son of Mr. Robert Alderson, a learned member of the bar, and formerly Recorder of Norwich, and born in 1787, so that he was in the seventieth year of his age. He was educated at Cains College, Cambridge, at which university he highly distinguished himself, and was senior wrangler of his year, and where he took the degree of M.A. in 1812. Baron Alderson was called to the bar in 1811, and was appointed a justice of the Court of Common Pleas in 1830, and on his elevation to the bench he received the honour of knighthood. In 1834, a vacancy occurring among the barons of the Exchequer, Sir E.H. Alderson was selected to fill the vacant post, and he has since then up to his attack of illness, only three weeks back, ably discharged his judicial duties. Baron Alderson married in 1823 Miss Drewe, youngest daughter of the Rev. Edward Drewe, of Broadhembury, Devonshire, by whom he leaves a numerous family.
