Committee.
On motion, the suggestions contained IN the

| journed. ;.

to Mr.. Wallis, saying: II cheerfuily concur
in the remarks made by the members OF the
bar this morning. The deceased has fre-
quently appeared in this Court in the man.
agement of cases, and never without being
| fully prepared upon the facts and the law
governing his cases. He showed great dill
gence in the preparation of his cases for trial,
and in that particular set an example which
it would be well for some of the younger
members of the bar TO initiate. Had his life
been spared, have not any doubt but that
he could reasonably have expected to enjoy
all the honors which pertain to his profession.
He had q right to look forward in future
years to have the highest honors of the pro-
fession conferred upon him. 1t was with
deep regret that heard of his death, but it
now gives me pleasure to be able to order that
the resolutions reported by the committee be
spread at length upon the records of this
Court, and the Clerk is directed to enter said
resolutions at length upon the records Of this
Court"

was made last Sunday for the violation of
the Sunday law. Charles Pasquip, who

to obey, ard during the entire day, while all
respectable saloons were closed, or II not
closed, doing business with closed doors, the
proprietor Of this l. street den was conduct
ing his business with doors thrown wide
open. If the Sunday law affected only that
class Of saloons, and nothing else, there would
be no opposition to its strict enforcement.

George o. Bates, who came up from the
Pearson district last evening, that the levees

Where there were weak points the levee has
been strengthened. and no danger is appre-
hended, unless in the event OF unusually high
water.
