ROCKVILLE, Jan. 3, rs.
lIr. Editor = Believing in the maxim Of
''lIonor to him, TO whom honor is due"
beg leave TO say a few words in regard to the
departure of our Chief Bailif, VIM. o. Kings
bury, from this town.
Mr.. Kingsbury was placed in charge of the
Jail by our late Sheriff, Edward II Waters,
Esq, and by his fidelity in his service justly
secured that genteman's highest esteem as n
faithful and efficient officer.
In connection with his duties as Jailer of
the County Jail, Mr.. kingsbury acted as Chief
Bailifr to the Commissioners for Rockville, in
which capacity he the good opinion of
all the substantial, rght-ihinkng and law
abiding citizens of this community, and Ito
his credit, be it said, the bad opinion of
those who delighted 10 annoy Others and vio-
late the laws of the land with impunity.
The scarcity ofpublic officers who discharge
their official duties with the fidelity and ac-
tivity that Vim. O. kingsbury, Esq, exhibit
ed, makes his conduct deserving of the high
| est commentator.
Mr. Kingshurv has left our town with the
regrets and well wishes of all whose esteem is
worth having, and he may well point with
| pride and selt-snistaction TO the good name
! left behind him in Rockville, and may very
| Justly feel authorized TO call upon lis citizens
| for any reference that may perchance, in the
| future, be usetul 10 MN IN securing en-
/ ployment wherever he may think proper to To-
! cafe True honor is determined not by the
character of the position held, but by the
manner in which the duties of that position
are discharged.
The expressions of high regard of the last
| Grand Jury for him were but just, and their
recommendation that his services he retained
| by the present Sheriff was conceived with a
7 proper sense of what is best for the welfare OF
/ the people Of this county, and ii remains to
/ be seen in the course of subsequent events
whether the Grand Inquest of Montgomery
county had correct conceptions of the charac-
| ter of the man required 10 discharge the func-
tions of Jailer or not. RocKvILLIAN.
