tuktions to hie Honour on his appointment to this
Circuit, and to wish bins health so as t• enable hiss to.
discharge his duties. At the some time, whilst they
tailed with pleasure the rising sun, they willingly
bowed to that one whose sours, had run. Many were
premet who remembered that when the County Court
was established there were diMeultlea in arranging the
proeseed•ogs, and it was one of the first duties of Judge
Everett ti eststslish some rules which should be some
guide to suitors end sractitionera. In this he yes ono
seestsd, and the proseedings of thin smart were conducted
with order end regularity. But that was. small portion
of his duty, for they all remembered the ear., dignity.
mod courtesy with which he occupied his rat, and to
which was added a though invotigstion of every asets
which came before Its. with much Whose and patience,

eoncernal is the soil He (the speaker) would add that
he always upheld any decision the late judge made,
whose decisions were seldom, if ever, altered, and rarely
questioned. Having said so much of Judge Everett's
high character in the discharge of his &Pio. it was his

rightly interpreths the wishes sad feelings of hit
brother solicitor., when he said the late judge was
entitled to their highest oomideration. He hoped he
would enjoy his orison cum dioldlais during his retire-
ment, and that for man, years to onus. He would take
the opportunity of alluding to the high eneomiorns which
bad been bestowed on Judge Everett by the press in
this neighbout hood, contributed be sble correspondents
who occupied positions on it. Judge Everett bad not
been surpassed by any in the discharge of his duties,
sad he (the speaker) begged to tender him his tastable
acknowledgements, which he hoped would reach hien in
his retirement.
tins Honour thanked Mr. Arden for the kind and
eourteoue manner in which is had so well expressed
the feeling* of the bar towards the late judge. He had
only had the pleasure of mthine his aosnaintance since
he oorenzenoed this (intuit, and that short aoquaintitnce
aasitred his he well deferred the compliment Mt.
Arden had paid him. He tristed that by God's !Arming,
and his on endeavours, he might not be bind un-
worthy to sueesed so stile, conscientious, and pains-
taking a juige—lapplause).
