waited position in any calling. Although, before
his protracted illness, he had entered upon a ca
of promising success, he has been, by conine-
ment and suffering, so much Withdrawn from the
intercourse and the acquaintance of his breh-
ren, that | have deemed it most appropriate, with

only that your Honor,will be pleased to adjourn,
out of respect to his memory, and direct the Clerk
to enter this motion, and your Honor's order upon
it, on the minutes of the Courts.
