Cessation presented his homage to the President of
the Republic, the latter addressed to him the follow-
ing speech which excited great attention :
" I feel a very lively pleasure in expressing on this
occasion my lively sympathies to the Court of Causation
and to the magistracy. My most earnest wish is that
principles may always remain above the passions of
parties. It was said formerly ' There are judges at
Berlin;' meaning thereby that there was a dyke to resist
even despotic power. That is much more true in France.
No one is ignorant of it. The enlightened and inde-
pendent magistracy only obeys its conscience, and knows
that the Government will always respect this first
guarantee of civiliz societies—Justice!'
