HC Deb 13 February 1860 vol 156 c917
MR. LONG

said, he wished to ask the reason of the retirement of Mr. Justice Perrin?

MR. CARDWELL

said, he was sure the hon. Gentleman would be extremely sorry to know that the cause was ill-health. The learned Judge, being prevented by the state of his health from discharging the duties which he had so honorably discharged for twenty-five years, and being unable to go the approaching circuit, had thought proper to resign.
