He was called to the See also:bar at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn in 1816, and at once acquired a lucrative See also:equity practice.

king's counsel in 1829. Of a retiring disposition, he seldom took See also:part in See also:parliamentary debates, although in 1838 in the See also:case of Stockdale v. See also:Hansard he took a considerable part in upholding the privileges of parliament. In 1841 he accepted the See also:post of See also:attorney-See also:general for the duchy of See also:Cornwall. In 1842 a relative, See also:Sir See also:Robert H. Leigh, See also:left him a See also:life See also:interest in his See also:Wigan estates, amounting to some £15,000 a See also:year; he then assumed the additional surname of Leigh. Having accepted the chancellorship of the duchy of Cornwall and a privy councillorship, he became a member of the judicial See also:committee of the privy See also:council, and for nearly twenty years devoted his energies and talents to the See also:work of that See also:body; his judgments, more particularly in See also:prize cases, of which he took especial See also:charge, are remarkable not only for legal precision and accuracy, but for their See also:form and expression. In 1858, on the formation of See also:Lord See also:Derby's See also:administration, he was offered the See also:Great See also:Seal, but declined; in the same year, however, he was raised to the See also:peerage as Baron Kingsdown.

KING'S EVIL, an old, but not yet obsolete, name given to the See also:scrofula, which in the popular estimation was deemed capable of cure by the royal See also:touch. The practice of " touching " for the scrofula, or " King's Evil," was confined amongst the nations of See also:Europe to the two Royal Houses of See also:England and See also:France. As the monarchs of both these countries owned the exclusive right of being anointed with the pure See also:chrism, and not with the See also:ordinary sacred oil, it has been surmised that the See also:common belief in the sanctity of the chrism was in some manner inseparably connected
with faith in the healing See also:powers of the royal touch. The See also:kings both of France and England claimed a See also:sole and See also:special right to this supernatural See also:gift: the See also:house of France deducing its origin from See also:Clovis (5th See also:century) and that of England declaring See also:Edward t1, e See also:Confessor the first owner of this virtue. That the Saxon origin of the royal See also:power of healing was the popular theory in England is evident from the striking and accurate description of the ceremony in See also:Macbeth (See also:act vi. See also:scene iii.). Nevertheless the practice of this rite cannot be traced back to an earlier date than the reign of Edward III. in England, and of St See also:- LOUIS

Louis (Louis IX.) in France; consequently, it is believed that the performance of healing by the touch emanated in the first instance from the See also:French Crusader-King, whose miraculous powers were subsequently transmitted to his descendant and representative, See also:Isabella of See also:Valois, wife of Edward II. of England. In any case, See also:Queen Isabella's son and See also:heir, Edward III., claimant to the French See also:throne through his See also:mother, was the first See also:English king to See also:- ORDER

order a public display of an attribute that had hitherto been associated with the Valois kings alone. From his reign See also:dates the use of the " touch-piece," a See also:gold See also:medal given to the sufferer as a See also:kind of See also:talisman, which was originally the See also:angel See also:coin, stamped with designs of St See also:Michael and of a three-masted See also:ship.
