SIR JAMES DOWLING, LATE

CHIEF JUSTICE OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

We have great pleasure in transferring to our colunivnt
from the Australian. Daily Journal, of the 28th Ser
umber, the following testimony to the character of the
late Sir James Dowling, whose death we announced
some weeks back, but the official intelligence of which
has but just reached this country:—
Another of the ornaments of our colonial history i 5
gone. Before this will have reached the eyes of munl
of our readers, they will have heard of the melancholf
fact of the death of the Hon. Sir James Dowling, Kcal
the Chief Justice of the colony—an event which occurred
yesterday afternoon, at 20 minutes before 4 o'clock. Sir
James had suffered under a painful illness during the last
three months, from which, about five weeks ago, be gale
some hopes of recovery. Unfortunately he sustained °
relapse, which proved too much for his feeble and ex"
hausted frame, The history of the career of a 00111
like Sir James Dowling is scarcely to be written in the,
columns of a newspaper. We n-ay chronicle his arrive
amongst us—the years that he sat upon the udicise
bench—and the respect and esteem which attended hire
throughout ; but the details which would give life to dill
skeleton sketch, must necessarily be wanting. I!.
arrived here about seventeen years ago, and took Ine
seat on the bench, and on the departure to Eur Ope 0f
the late lamented Sir Francis Forbes, about eight yeall
since, Sir James Dowling succeeded to the Ode •
Justiceship. During the whole of this period'
it is a well-known fact that he scarcely hoe!
one day's relaxation from his heavy toils. Few hoe:
ever left life more rich in all that should accomes°,
old age—public approbation, the affection and reverence
of all ranks, all sects—the esteem of great men, and the
gratitude of humble ones. It would be no eulogy to esi,
of so long and active a career that it was accomplished
without reproach ; but this negative praise would ill exert''
.
the fervid and generous qualities of virtues that were 00'
merely active, but had in them something of enthusinell!',
The Local Legislature, by their recent vote* (when I'
was hoped that his return to convalescence was certain);
gave the most decided manifestation of their high rope°
and esteem for his public character—and the earion°
departments of the legal profession vied with each other
on the same occasion, in addressing him in the language
of the warmest and most affectionate regard. As eking'
and a statesman, he was humane, gentle, impartial, e,;
tensively informed, firmly attached to the well-below
constitution of his own country, and a zealous promoter
of those measures by which a new constitution wee
granted to this : he was a warm friend of that getiuinej
social liberty, which is but another name for the hiehT
and most comprehensive justice • and his labours on we
bench, and in the late council chamber, are a monumentj
not more of his talents as a judge, than of his puralp
upright character as a man.
* " A vote of the full salary of 2,0001. a-year, dining
the absence of Sir James from the colony on leave;
Twenty-three of the same body have, since the learnC!
judge's death, signed a memorial for a pension to bl'
widow, who has been thus suddenly deprived of her onli
resource."
