chosen words spoke of Mr. Grants long residence
in this city his scholarly attainments and ability
I'm his profession, and general excellence, and
moved that the court adjourn for the day,
Mr.. Folger arose and said he eoncurred fully in
the motion of Judge Underhill and felt that the

claims to respect as had Mr.. Grant. The speaker

and 1t afforded him pleasure to bear testimony to
his great excellence as a man. and lawyer, and
that he, Mr.. FOlger, would cooperate with the
members Of the bar most cheerfully in any meas
ures that might be adopted suitable to the occa-
sion, and suggested that meeting Of the Bar be
held in the court room on Wednesday at l o'clock
