To which Chief Justice Rnffin. on be.
half Of the Cont, replied as follows:
"rhe surviving members Of the Count,
receive with deep sensihiily, the proceed
ings Of the Bar in commemoralion Of our
late and lamenied brother. They bul
express our own emotions upon that me-
lancholy event, and are no more than u
just tribute TO the unsullied purity of his
personal character, his learning, and long
and useful official lahors.
I. He served his country, as Judge.
through the period Of, very nearly. thirty
two years; and he served acccptably, ably,
and faithfully.
I" He had love of learning. an inquir-
ing mind. and memory uncommonly
,enacions; and he acquired AMI retained a
stock OF varied and extensive knowledge,
and. especially, became vel versed in The
!
history and principles ofiIle law. He was
without arrogance or ostenlalion. even oi
his learning; had the most unaffected and
charming simplicity had mildness of man
ners, and no other purpose in office than
to execute justice and maintain TRUTH
and, therefore. he was patient in hearing
argument, laborious and calm in investiga
ton. candid and instructive in consultation,
and impartial and firm in decision.
Wnh these properties and his long ex.
perience, il is no wonder, that he should
have proved soaeminent on the bench as
TO entlear himself 10 his associates, gain
the respect and regards Of the professon
and the confidence Of the country. He
did so to such a. degree, that few men, !
any. were imiiie more honored among us
or in death, we think, will be more de.
plored.
"Fully sharing in these sentiments ant
feelings, the Court readily joins in the ex
preston Of them, and yields TO the wlsl
