II AhN bNNn TUT NNtuEl
 years to practice before very many his
 prius judges both in California and II
 this territory, and can say that fol
 the last eighteen months my practice
 has been as pleasant snd agreeable as
 my my memory can now recall. and
 think this can be truly said by every
 member of tbe bar. We have done
 more hard work during the last eighteen
 months than Ne have in as many years
 before. lFhink we have done SO for the
 reason that We knew your Honor could
 appreciate our labors. And you have
 la5ored with the utmost patience and
 industry to assist us in disposiDg of the
 many long and intricate cases which
 have come before you. To Your Hon. or there eau be but the fullest need of
 praise from every member of the bar. And l know that when your Honor
 left Mississippi 10 come to the froutier among the cowboys and your friends
 bade you goodbye, thinking that you were going to R place where sherifTs' writs could not be served, and you came tO Us bs a stranger, and under circumstances that you knew not what that meeting would be, yOIr frankness, your ability, and all the genial quail ties of your smisble disposition won the regard of the members of the bar and the people. And If you leave us now
 10 seek a new field for your future ca reer, l can assure you that you did not leave warmer friends. or more in pro- portion to the population, when you left Mississippi than you will leave in the County of Pima and the first Judic-
 ial District of Arizona. And If your for tunes should lead you to other lands. if you meet one of Pima County's citizens he will greet you with warm shake of the hand and every member of thIs community will be your friend now, and forever.
 HON. s. NJ. FRANKLIN.
 Hon. Selim NJ. Frankliug said: A great deal has been sad, but there is one pleasant feature which l have experi- enced m my professional intercourse with your Honor, which has not been mentioned here. Myself and all the younger members Of the bar have al- ways been accorded that kindness and courtesy which SO materially assists all young practitioners m their early strug- gles and trials. We have ever been accord ed the same respectful attention which would be bestowed upon the "old Co losus" on my right (Alex. Campbell, whose reputation IS almost as great ss his ability. Your Honor but weighed the points of law, and considered not whence they came. I can state. as a young practitioner, that We are losing our best friend, the friend of the younger members of the bar.
 HON. E. II. PoMRoY.
 Judge Pomroy sad: Although have not been actively in practice m thIs court for the last two years, 1t has been my good fortune within the last two months Co be thrown n this court, and and l have thus had m opportunity to witness the method and conduct of business and the conduct of the presii- ing officer of this court, and l can say from tine bottom ofmy hoart that l rati,y and confirm as far as l am able, all hat has been said on this occasion, and if could say more ! would do so, and I would then be only stating what my feelings would prompt me 60 utter. an perhaps the oldest practising mem ber of the bar here to-day. l have seen lll the vicissItudes and changes of the preceding officers, and can truthfully say that ID all that experience, I have seen no such occasion as this. There must have been something in the con iuct of the recipient Of this testimonial luusual and extraordinary to have .Glled forth this spontaneous -eXpres- .lon of opinion fromt. members of the par, and through them the voices which peShh rom the people. This is no ordi- nary occasion. The success which has crowned your Honor in the conduct lf the business of this court, has inRuy- lrated, let us hope. a new era for this territory; may it not perish, but grant l hat that which has brought SO much | lf good to this bar and to the people Of l .his community will remain with us as | . precious gift from you. Each mem- 1 per of the bar as he looks at that seat | which you have so honored vill feel | 'our invisible presence and will realize | hat the impulse for good that has been | ,lven cannot be stayed, but that like an nspIratiOn of the hereafter 1t wIll re- | ngin like 8 protecting Ryis over all.
