l Action by The New Haven County Bar Eloquent Tributes to The Memory O1 The Deceased.
 Action in reference to the death of the late | Thomas 0. Ingersoll was taken by the New Haven county bar at a meeting held yester day afternoon. At the request of State At house by bronchial trouble, Mir. John W. filling occupied the chair. With deep
 feeling Col. A. Heaton Robertson addressed the president, referring to the death of Mir. Ingerson and to the solemn occasion which had called the bar together. He spoke as follows.
 Mr. Ohairman:-Once more the bar of New Haven county has been called together to take action on the death of one of its members. This time, as at the Iast death has chosen as his victim one of the younger members, but never, at least in my memory, one endowed with greater natural abilities than Thomas Chester IngersoH. MT. Inger- soil was born at New Haven in 1845 of a family for generations conspicuous in the legal profession; graduated at Yale college in 1865, and at the Albany Law school in 1866, in which year he was admitted to prac- tice in the courts of the State of New York. In 1873 he removed to this city where up to the time of his death he was engaged in the practice of his profession.
 Although MT. Ingsrsoll but seldom appear ed before the courts, those of us who have seen him there have marked the rare dignity and courtesy with which he conducted his cause. Those of us who have had matters pertaining to our calling with him knew him as g thorough master of his profession
 MT. Ingersoll with his ready wit and kind heart was prominently adapted to that social life of which he was such gifted and loved member.
 As conversationalist he had few superiors, while his courage in maintaining what he be- lieve to be right was always tempered with 8 mildness and courtsey which won for him the confidence and esteem of all that knew him. I speak of one with whom in the years long past are associated memories too sacred to mention here, one who was prince among us. And now, MT. Chairman, all that is laft of the gifted IngersolI is his lifeless form. No, not all, for the remembrance of his .manly virtues, will always be as bright example for us who knew him well to follow and cherish.
 Mir. Robertson concluded by offering the following:
 Whereas, Again the circle of the New Haven county bar has ibeen broken by the of it's brightest members in the full vigor of manhood;
 Resolved That in the death of Thomas Chester In- gereoll regret the loss of whose legal attain ments, uprightness of character, and courtesy of were fitted to adorn the profession of which
 Resolved. That earnestly sympathize with his relatives and that in testimony thereof request the Superior court to these resolutions to be entered upon records and that the secretary this meeting be requested to send copy to the fam lily of the deceased.
 Professor Johnson T. Platt, of the Yale Law school, in seconding the resolutions paid a tribute to the deceased. There were few men 50 endowed as he by nature. He had the qualities of mind to fit him for filling with honor and credit the higher places at the bar. His words were characterized by sparkling vivacity His character had much to command respect and to win friendship. He was gifted and reserved, but most ge- nial friend and companion, and those who knew him best most esteemed and valued him.
