Monday, October 12th , 1908.

Beeching came in to show me a letter from Sir K. M. M. saying that the Lord C. had recd our petition from H.M., and suggesting that it shd be referred to Dibdin & Phillimore. We all felt that the latter wd never do.

At 11.45 there was the Judges' service: a good attendance, but the Lord C. himself was absent, having to attend the Cabinet Council.

The new Prof. Watson called, & we had some conversation. He seems to have been well received at Oxford.

Harold & I went to the Claremont Central Mission in Pentonville, where an anniversary meeting was held. The Solicitor General (Sir S. T. Evans) spoke first: & I spoke second. It was not a very large or a very enthusiastic meeting. On returning home I wasted at least two hours in going through a Catalogue of Theological Books from Henry Sotheran & Co.
