Of Oh whh made
him friendly with ALL especially with the Young aud
inexperienced members OF the bar. Mr. Gerard be-
fading away. II indeed he was not the last OF his
peculiar class. He was not one of those imprOvised
lions at the bar since the Code has made the pro-
fession SO accessible. His life was one OF I'M
deviating rectitude. l have never heard a word
spoken against him, and do not believe that there
was a thought ever entertained that expressed
could be construed TO be detrimental. AT q time
when among all classes OF society, and especially
In public life, examples are needed, the loss or
such a man must be deeply ielt. He had, indeed,
retired from active practice, but when such men
draw the lesson which they teach US, aud let u5
hope that what has been in his case living AMI
useful example may, now that he Is gone, be an
ei1caclous and pious memory.
