DEATH OF WILLIAM JAY.

lis with very sincere regret announce ths. the
Hon. Wm. JAY died at hs residence in Bedford on
THURSDAY evening. He has been for two or three
wears psst suffering with disease Of the heart, and il
!, this. We presume. which has terminated his life.
Judge Jay wss the secord son OF Chief-Ju;tce JAY
and was born June l6 l7s9. He graduated at Y ale
College in lsQS ard afterward read law with Mr. John
B. Henry at Albany. The grester pat OF his life has
been spent q, the family oountry-seat, near Bedford
Wes,chester County. which he inherited on the death
of hi. father in 1922. lie was appointed the First
Judge of Wes,chester County by Gov. Tompkns
ard his reappontment to that office successvely
made by Governors Clinton, Marcy and Van Buren,
Judge Jey inherited bis fathers strong adherence
of chatte Slavery. As TO ChiefJustice Jay, the
father MAJ be attributed, more than to any other one
man. the abolition OF negro bondage in this State so
20 Judge William Jay, the son. the future will give the
credit of having been o. the earliest advocates of
the modern Anti-Savery movement which at this mo-
ment Influences so radically the politics, the religion.
and the philanthropy OF this country, and of having
guided by bis writings in !srge measure the drec-
ton which cause ~ important and 30 conservative

and to some degree are STILL the best textbooks upon
the institution of Slavery its immense influence upon
TIE character Of the Federal Government, and Of our
social poy the dangers from that source we had
as nation To spprehend, and the responsibility which
therefore, belonged to citizens and Christians,
and his zeal and ability in this were never want
ing ard for than twenty years he has made him
self felt in various benevolent and religious assoc a.
t;ons which in his estimation, wanting in their
duty in regard to IT, The Tract Society and the Bible
Society of which latter Association he was one OF the
founders, may thank him or blame him-as the case
may be-for the position in which they now stand be-
fore the world in relation to Slavery His vigorous
mind, however was not exclusively devoted to this
ore topic. Beside the professional and Judicial duties
which occupied him for many years he found time
to discharge ia duty by writing the life of his faith
err and added TO the historical treasury of the country
two large volumes compiled partially from the writings
of that eminent man, which he had left precious
legacy to his children.
Judge Jay was man of large benevolence and the
wealth which he inherited and made was used, not for
purposes of display, or for any selfish object but, in
great measure as a trust wherewith those about him
who were in need should be relieved Of suffering, and
that those who came after him should find world the
better for his having been in it. His loss will be
ycrcly felt by large, but comparatively private cir
Gle; ho ~ great was the good he did will, perhsps BE-
better recognized when a generation shall have fol-
