| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Charles Russell |
 | | His success on the northern circuit soon recalled him to London, where he became "Queen's Counsel" in 1872, and divided the mercantile business of the circuit with Lord Herschell. |
 | | The increasing demand for his services may be judged by his fees which averaged $15,000 a year from 1862-72, $50,000 in the next decade, $80,000 in the third, and in 1893-4, his last year of practice, reached $150,000. |
 | | In the same year he was appointed Lord Chief Justice of England, the first Catholic to attain that office for centuries. |
