the following resolutions n regard to
the late Judge Lee:
The bar of Memphis have learned with
deep regret of the decease OF our friend and
brother, Hon. Harry Sheldon Lse. He has
been taken from US while in the prime OF life,
in the full vigoT Of his mental powers, and in
the enjoyment OF rare opportunities for use
fulness in his chosen profession. We have
for many years SympathiZed with him in the
i'll health which II was his lot 10 suffer, recog-
niZing the unusual strength of his intsllectu-
al powers, and knowing how little scope so
frall a body could afford for the highest and
most useful labOrs of so gifted soul. We
have learned, as only those could learn who
enjoyed a long acquaintance With him, to
know, TO understand, 10 respect and to love
him; and we des re now to place in permanent
and enduring form our last tes- LmOnial of re-
gard and esteem for our departed brother,
Ihat not only may his memory remain forever
embaImed in our own hearts, Int that those
who knew him less intimately than we, may
learn something of those rare traits of char
of many years, we have grown to admire.
Therefore, be it
ResoIUed. That N Hon. Harry 5. Lee the bar
of Memphis were proud to recognize pure,
upright, able and i'm partial arbiUer upon the
bench, high minded and hc-orable oppo-
nent at the bar, en- assiduous student and de-
voted follower of high intellectual pursuits,
and a just and true man in all the walks of life.
ReS0tUed, That while the place of our brother
In our professional RANKS may be filled by
others, his place in our memories shall never
be Il LED, save W tn the kindest end tenderest
recollections of his genius, his brilliant intel
iect, his professional aIdOr, ard his accom-
plishmentS as a scholar snd as lawyer.
ReSOlue ,, That this dtspensatton of Divine
Providence falls upon oar hearts as crush
ing blow, the anguish Of which time may as
bow to the Divine will with such submission
as we can command, trusting that our late
brother has only been removed TO scenes of
broader aud higher usefulness.
ResOlUed, That we eondole and sympathlze
most sincerely with the widow end children of
the deceased, whose earthly support has been
thus torn from their fond embrace, with his
aged parents, who may no longer learn with
pride of the high attatnmen5s Of their eldest
son, and with his surviving brothers aud sis
ters praying the privilege OF assuring them
that We are mourners with them in their sad
bereavement
Re OIU d, That the secretary Of this meeting
transmit a COPY of these resCl lutiOnS to the
widow of the deceased, and a COPY to his pa
rents, in token OF our respect and sympathy.
ReSolued, That members of the bar be ap-
pointed 10 present these resolutions to each of
the courts held in this city and county, and to
son, with the request tC these courts respect
lively that Iney cause these resolutions to be
spread upon their minutes.
Respectfully submitted
