Lord l{iersey, who Condlieted `..`,Janpress of Ireland" Inquiry. Lord Mersey, cool, grim, impar- tial judge --,such is the way the press is headlining all references to the British .Titanic Commission's chair- man, who directed the inquiry into the loss of the Empress of Ireland'.:' After the Titanic inquiry due prom- inence was given to the feet that during the entire questionings the only time he was seen to isnlile was when a sailor,' who was asleep at the time of the collision, explained he was "whacked to the side." His stiff face was then said to have cracked into laughter that was like a grimace. There is altogether too general an inepa essioe .that Lord Mersey, if a just; judge is ogre -like and a. man of dry rigidity. Otherwise, it would be difficult to account for his universal popu- larity • in- the British Isles, along with the respect for him .as the high- est authority on matters maritime that is felt. His career has been notable. A native‘' of IJiverpool nautical terms such as "alIevion'l or "jettison" were a part of his schoolboy alphabet. He absorbed shipping lore with his arithmetic, In 186.7 he ente•red the chambers of Mr, - Charles Russell -- afterwards the late Celebrated Lord Russell' of If illowen---•s s wn,e-an, lad. to the bar three years after, and later, enjoyed a private practice of almost fabulous worth. All this time he VMS just plain Sir Jelin Bingham. His subsequent career as president of the . Probate, ,Diyorce, and .A4- niiralty Division on the bench is well remembered; also his services on the Parliamentary Commission' which inquired into the Jameson raid. Upon his elevation to the peerage in March, 1910, he had to respond at .a Divorce Court banquet, given in leis honor, ,and a few of his re- marks revealed the real man.

A despatch from Quebec says: The 'explanation of all the sugges- tions that have been made during the enquiry into the wreck of the Empress of Ireland about the ves- sel's steering gear. came out on Wednesday afternoon when Percy Hillhouse, belonging to the Fair- field Shipbuilding Company, which oonstruoted her, continued his evi- dence before the Dominion Commis- sion.
