JUDGE T. J. MACKEY.

The recent session of the Circuit Court, was
the first one in this county at which Judge
Mackey has presided since he was elected to
the Bench Of yhis circuit. Much interest was
felt as to the manner in which he would per-
form the duties Of his exalted position. This
interest was not altogether untinged with a
feeling of apprehension entertained by many
on account of the political associations Of the
Judge, and the frequent animadversations Of
number of the newspapers in the State on
his course generally. We are happy to say,
however, that so far as we can learn, his
Honor, during the recent session of the Court,
was entirely mindful Of his high position, and
held the scales of justice with an even hand.
He is quick, and apparently impartial in his
decisions, has ready flow Of language, and
impresses the jury strongly and quickly with
his views of the law Of case.
At meeting of the of the Yorkville Bar,
held on the 9th instant-Col. W. G. Beatty
being Chairman of the meeting and j. S. R.
Thomson Secretary-the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
ResoEved, That we greet with pleasure the
elevation of His Honor T. j. Mackey, to the
bench of the Sixth Circuit
Resolved, That we take pleasure in testify
ing 10 the ability, courtesy and patience dis
played by His Honor at the present term Of
this Court.
Resolved, That in the administration of the
the duties of the Court, his Honor has afforded
eminent satisfaction, and in his recommends
tions and suggestions for the welfare of the
county we heartily concur, and in their execu'
tion will cheerfully cooperate.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing res
olutions be presented to his Honor Judge
Mackey, and that copy be published IN
the YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER.
The following is the reply Of Judge Mackey
to the above resolutions:
CHESTER, 8. c., Nov IL, 1872.
DEAR S1R:-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of Resolutions adopted by the Bar Of
York county on the 9th instant, commendatory
of the manner in which discharged the duties OF
presiding judge during the term which closed
on that day. beg leave, through you, 10 assure
the gentlemen of the Bar of York, that am very
grateful for this generous expression of their es-
teem, and that will endeavor to deserve it. To
the public officer intent upon performing his duty
with diligence and fidelity, the highest reward IS
derived from the sanction of his own conscience,
that severely just tribunal that often reyerses both
good and i'll judgments which the world pronoun-
ces upon the secret motives, and the seeming
characters of men.
Next to that sanction of the inner-self, should
be esteemed the approving opinion of those who
are best capable of Judging whether that duty has
been faithfully and efficiently performed. From
value of the Resolutions which do me so much
honor. The members of the Bar Of York, have

and the case of the State against Holden for
perjury, was called and dismissed for defect
in the Indictment in failing to specify where
the offence was committed, from which action
of the Judge an appeal was taken to the su-
preme Court, and the counsel for the prose-
cution then moved to bind defendant over to
the next term of the Superior Court of Wake
which motion was denied on the ground that
the action still pended in Orange court until
decision of the Supreme Court.
