Met my townsman and friend Benjamin Pickman, which rejoiced me; we walked to Westminster Hall,—in Chancery saw Sir Thomas Sewell, master of the rolls, sitting with his hat on, at Common Pleas saw Judge Blackstone and Sergeant Glynn; and the King's Bench, Lord Mansfield and Mr. Sergeant Wedderburne. Lord Mansfield's manner is like the late Judge Dudley's of Massachusetts. His peering eyes denote a penetration and comprehension peculiarly his own. Mr. Wedderburne spoke, but at no great length.
