The oil portrait of Chief Justice
Thomas r. Sherwood, painted by Ives,
was presented to the Supreme Court, al
Lansing, last week. A eulogium was
pronounced by William p. Wells, of De-
troit, who had been selected by the bar
to deliver the formal address of presen-
tation. He reviewed the professional
career of Justice Sherwood, alluded to
his success as attorney and judge, and
set forth his worth and purity of charac-
ter. In closing he made graceful and
complimentary reference to the high rop-
utation for learning and ability which the
Supreme Court of the State has enjoyed.
Justice Campbell followed, and stat
ed that it afforded him great pleas
ure to testify to the loving esteem
in which he held his late associate.

portrait on behalf of the court. Judge

been described by his learned eulogists,
He was man who had dedicated him.

clined, sometimes, to brush aside the
technicalit es and precedents of the Law
in order to secure the vindication of what
he conceived TO be the right. But while
his sympaties were warm, his legal ju6H
ment was generally unerrng. He was q
model associate. His portrait was indeed
worthy to adorn the walls of the State
chief temple OF justice.
