RS- The following anecdote is told ofJudge
Story and his successor upon the bench -
ait was Judge Story's habit, after tho ses-
siou7oft the court on his return TO Cambridge,
and before the publication of the reports, to
submit the ease decided, to the class for argu-
nIent. On one occasion Judge Marshall had
delivered tho opinion of the court, Judge Sto-
ry dissenting. When the points were before
the class, Mr. Curtis took the same positions
assumed by Judge Story on the bench, and
that eminent man on his return to Washing
ton, said to Judge Marshall, that If the case
had been argued with half the ability before
the court that it was before che class, the de
cision would have been reversed. And, adj
ded the 1udgc, 'B. r. Curtis, the young man,
not yet admitted to practice, who made that
argumont, will yet stand at the head Of tho New
England Bar
