on the bench. For the purpose of making
public the feelings of the associates of the
late Judge a meeting of the bar of this
county was held in the Court. house Monday
evening. Judge 4. H. Heacock presided,
and +. H. Kellogg acted as Secretary. A
committee, consisting of Judge Paul r.
caid, L. +. Thomas and +. b. Can
field, was appointed to draft resolutions.
On Tuesday, at $50, the Bar reassembled,
and unanimously adopted the resolutions
copied below. In addition, it was ordered
that copy be sent to the Bar Of Ventura
and San Luis Obispo counties, for their IN
dorsement, and that the same be published in
all the papers of the district and the SAcRA-
HENTo DAILY RECORD. UNION. The resolu-
tions, which were signed by every attorney
and officer Of the Court present, are as fol-
lows:
We, the undersigned, members OF the Bar and
officers of the Court Of the old First Judicial Dis
trct of the State OF California, hereby state:
First-That learn with deep indignation too
strong for language TO express, that a member Of
the Bar Of this State, Creed Raymond has recently
before the Governor aad the people, in the OF
the People, etc, vs. Sprague, attacked the reputa-
tion OF our late Judge, Hon. Eugene Fawcett, in
language indecent, violent and abusive.
second-That the said attack is malicious, un-
called for and filed with false assertions.
EsThird-That such TRADE of abuse and vili6ca-
ton and SANDER from a member OF the Bar and an
| officer of the state upon living Judge would be
emnently disgracefu and deserving OF severe con-
demnation and when We consider that it was made
upon a Judge known by lie all TO be high-mindsd
fair, impartial, pure and unblemished in private
and public life, now dead, with devoted wife and
leaving hesrt- broken father and mother behind
him, We feel called upon to denounce it as foul
cowardy aud indicative malicious and inexcusa-
ble
Fourth-That in our denunciations Of the attack
we are not animated by any personal ll-feeling to
the party making it.
Fifth-That we believe to pass unnoticed the at.
tack considering only the official position of the par
ty making 1t, would be injustice to the memory
Of the honored deed TO the feelings of the living
relatives and friends to truth honor and the Judi
cary Of our State, and to our POSITIONS as members
OF the Bar and officers of the Court which the
late Judge presided with dignity ability and marked
impartiality.
Sixth-That We heartily and emphatcally reafflrm
the statements contained the resolutions adopted
by the members of the Bar Of Santa Barbara on the
llth day of January, $780, expressing sincere
feelings and sentiments towards the late Judge
Fawcett, which were shared in by the entire com.
muniiy.
