Légende

The late Sir Lancelot Shadwell, Vice-Chancellor of England, 1850. 'Sir Lancelot Shadwell died...at his residence, Barn Elms, Putney. The death of so good and so able a man will be severely felt. For nearly a quarter of a century he presided over a branch of the Court of Chancery, and, throughout an extended period, secured the high respect of the profession by the soundness and impartiality of his judgment, the regularity of his attendance, and his untiring assiduity and zeal...[He] was called to the Bar, by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn, in 1803; and became a King's Counsel in 1821. In 1826 he obtained a seat in Parliament for Mrs. Lawrence's borough of Ripon, and in 1827 was made Vice-Chancellor of England'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
