This being the last term of the Court of An

court would do injustice to their own FEELINGS. n.
well as to the Judges with whom they have been
so long associated, If they permitted the separation
between them to occur in silence We deem
it therefore, proper to declare,
Flrst-That we entertain for the Judges of the

cordial regard, both as gentlemen and Judges. be-
cause of the dignity ability, impartiaty and cour

the confident belief that the good sense and dis
cernment of the people will return to the bench
such of them as have the health and STRENGTH tn
encounter its labors.

ration, respect and affection. the venerable and
distinguished Judge Cabell, who has so long, so
ably, and so gracefully, served his country, and
presided over the deliberations of the court
With PRIDE we hold him up as an example to all.
A life in office has not changed his nature Bland
and courteous, as the kindes heart could make
him, yet always firm and digni6ed; profound in the
learning of his profession, and thoroughly imbued
with the spirit of the law, and as remarkable for
his lucid expositions of it, for the perfect purity
OF his DEGREES; with profound regard. we contem-
plate him as the very model of Judge. May his
declining years pass without pain and happiness
eternal follow them.
Fourth-Io the able and excellent Judge Bald
VIM who now lies PROSTATE by divine WILL on
bed OF sickness, we tender the assurances of our
deep sympathy, our sincere regard and our CRATE
1ul recollection ofhis judicial services. Had it
pleased God to preserve him in health, we should
have been happy to be honored with the privilege
OF again appearing before him as Judge.

kind and friendly 'farewell,' and with pleasure
bear our testimony to the courtesy and fidelity
with which they have performed their duties.
