suce Of al his employers. lie wss man Of in

in Any member Of the Bar, and never in sny
instance, during bis professional course, did
witness any asperity upon mis- part toward sny
brother IN the Bar. unless il WIS provoked by
w.uton coerseness But he has gore, and We
have TO lament his loss And can only say
that Of al the members Of this Bar death could
not haze aimed its shaft AZ 8 more shining
marx.
Judge Bearisley vas followed by Hsman s
Royce, Esq, who said The event which We
bring to the notice Of the court has cast feeling
Of sadness upon the whole community. One
who fuldllei the duties Of life as Mr. Dewey,
will ever be lamented. In his dealings with
men be Observed the strictest integrity; and
when you view his career in the various rels-
lations Of lite, whether as husband and father,
aeighhor, townsuan, citizen, or brother Of the
profession to which be belonged, there Wss not,
to my knowledge, a stain upon his character.
l am aware, may it please your Honor, what is
implied by the words striciesi Integrity. | am
aware that in this place. Of all others, We should
Spesk-aim 70 speak-accurately, sct | have
nothing TO retrsct. As member Of the proies-
sion to which be belonged, this Bar, has not
only lost an able and useful msmter, but IN the
language Of the gentleman who has preceded
me, an ornament His knoSledge Of the pro-
iession entitled him 10 be enomustel SUCH
an ornamen, to the profession. HIS ability as an
adyocate,-hi fidelity to his cleni,-snd he
was one Of those who, If msy use the express
sion, never despaired Of the ship He chung
to the interests OF his client with true tensciy.
All these things entitled hin to be spoken Of As
an ornsmsnt to his profession. And msy ii
please your Honor. however you msy view it
il whatever relation-he was, in short, when
YOU put the sum Of all this together, good
man.
Hon. J. j. Deayitt, remarked With melan-
chouy pleasure, | can sincerely say that oar de-
parted fiead was emphatieally sell made
man. Unailed by wealth. or powerful rela-
tives, by the nobility Of bis we'll cultivated in
tellect, his great industry, and unbemishei
character, lie attained his high position at this
Bar.
4. G. Stafford, Esq sail 1t was my peculiar
privilege 20 be connected with Mr. Dewey, du-
ring his LIE time, a. 1 think no other present
member Of this Bar was connected | think
am the only one now here who studied in his
oilce. And from having studied with him, and
been brought into that close relation with him
could say, peThaps, many things in r,gard TO
Mr.. Dewey's business and professional career
that the other members Of he Bar may not be
acquainted with. But you cab sum up all by
saying he was dllrays able, Glrays honest, al
teays faithful. As a lawyer, both as an advo-
cate and as an adviser, think that there are
few members of the Bar who surpassed him
Hen. Homer Z Royce, the presiding Judge,
with tearfal emotion, then responded in behalf Of
the Court, as follows | desire, before the reso-
lutions submitted are finally acted upon, in be-
half Of my associates and myself, to add our
brief tribute to the memory Of our deceased
brother and friend. When Mr.. Dewey fist en-
tered upon his professional life, and until within
the last two years, was engaged in other pur-
suit, and knew but little Of him personally as 8
man or lawyer But remember we'll the &C.
casion Of my first acquaintance with him 1t
was at s convention Of his political friends, and
he was candidate before that convention for an
