The following beautiful sentiment
was recently uttered by Judge John L.
7. Sneed in delivering the opinion of the
supreme court in the case of Harrison VS..
Wisdom ct ais from the law docket Of
Montgomery county: "The idea thst the
judicial officer is supposed to be invested
with ermine, though fabulous and myth
cal, is yet more eloquent in tts signih-
csncs. We are told That the little creG.
ture called the Ermine isEo RCutely sensi-
tive as to its own cleanliness, that it be-
comes psTslyz ed and powerless at the
slightest touch Of dBhlement upon It's
snow-white fur. When the hunters are
pursuing it, they spread with mire the
pass leading to its hsunts, toward which
they hen draw it, knowing that it viii
submit to be captured rather than de6ls
itself, And q like senslbility should be-
long to him who comes to exercise the
august functions OF judge" No one
could mere consistently have spoken she
above han Judge Sneed, who has syer
proved himself an officer Of ability and
integrity.
