SR. Don MANUEL MoRENo.-It
affords us no little pleasure to make
favorable mention of the veteran clerk
Of the Sixth Judicial District. To say
that he was formed by nature for the
Court is to misuse the phrase. The
Court was formed for him. Under
the long and prosperous administration
Of Adam Winthrop, Esq, he was de-
facto the clerk, there at all hours, fling
away into their respective pigeon holes
"A, B and c.; the wills and testaments
and other documents the Court takes
cognizence Of when man quits busi-
ness and retires into the shades. Go
into the small back, or the large front
office, and look at the careful and cor
rect manner in which he has all the
papers filed away-papers that are
necessessary to keep the living, from
swindiing the dead; and answers us
iftheir is any man, within your knowl
edge ofmen, who would observe such
scrupelous exactness," and after this
90 into the court and see him swear
a man on his roidaire, and take down
the testimony.
See with what grace, ease and ele-
gance the duty is performed, and agree
with US that if a perfect and correct
service, is what the people desire
there can be found no one in the
State better qualified to fill the i'm.
por.ant trust Of clerk of the Sixth
District, than our friend Don. Manuel
Moreno. :.
