q Family of JurlaIs

Erie Observer.
1t is curious circumstance and one
eminently worthy of mention that no less
than six members of tho family of our
present Judge Galbraith have flied posi-
tions on tho bench. The first member Of
tho family was James Galbraith, who
came to this country from tho north
of Ireland and settled In Lancaster county,
Pa, in l7l2. His son, James Galbraith,
IT,, was mrie judge of Lancaster county,
and afterward of Cumberland county.
Andrew Galbraith, another son, was alsu
o judge in Lancaster county. while Robert,
son of the second James, was appointed
president judge of Huntingdon county.
The eminent Chief Justice Gibson married
a daughter Of Andrew Galbraith, making
the fourth judge in tho family to that GATE.
Tho Erie Galbraiths are descended from
John q son OF Judge James Galbraith)
who moved TO Butler county, about the
beginning of the century. OF his descen
dants, John Galbraith was elected presi
don't judge of this district In 1851, and the
son of tho latter, w. A, Galbraith. in 1875,
both for full terms of ton years. Probably
no instance of such q long line of jursts ID
to be found in any other family on the
continent. As one, at least, Of Judge
Galbraith's sons is preparing for the prac.
| tice of tho law who inhcrits much of the
| family talent, it IL not too much to expect
another may yet DO added to tho illustrou,
