Note 301 — JOURNAL OF ELIZABETH LADY HOLLAND (continued 4)

Mr. Adam brought a motion in the House of Commons on July 2, 1807, in defence of the warrant for a pension to the Scotch Judge, Lord Cullen, of 400l. a year, with a reversion of 200l. for life to his wife. He argued that it was fair, if a judge was not sufficiently well off to keep up his position. Lord Cullen was devoting two-thirds of his income to pay his father’s debts.
