the following report Of the proceedings
When Judges Shower aud Bale, Of the
new Court, entered the Court room aud
exhibited their credentials in the afternoon,
Chief Judge Burlington addressed them in
brief but appropriate terms, assuring them
Of the kind feelings Of the retiring Judges
towards them personally, and expressing
the hope that they might aequit themselves
well, and find the duties Of their new Office
always agreeable.
He was responded to by Chief Judge
Shower in similar spirit who expressed
his warmest regard for the retiring Judges,
aud hoped that the new Court might be en-
abled to discharge their duties as accepta-
bly, and successfully as their predecessors.
Judge Bale, in more extended, and even
more hattering terms, also complimented
the retiring Judges, as well as the Register
of Wills aud his manner indicated that
the words came fresh from the heart.
Judge Webb, of the late Court, then took
occasion also to make some remarks which
were highly appreciated, and his being the
oaly speech OF which notes have been fur
nishsd, its substance is giyen as follows:
"GKxrLgMEs. Upon assuming the high re-
sponsibilities Of the discharge Of the important
duties of the Court. you have my very best
wishes that you may float along smoothly and
pleasantly and that you may discharge your
duties faithfully, honestly and with marked

manner as that your fellow. citizens may never

"Well done, thou good and faithful servant. ?"
