Willard Salisbury, Jr., came into the
court room and after few minutes
writing handed the following resolu-
ton to Levy Courtman Eliason, who
gave II to the clerk to read:
"Resolved, That the attorney of the
Levy Court be and is hereby authoriz-
ed and directed to enter satisfaction
upon the judgment entered on the col
lector's bond OF Brandywine hundred,
Robert W. Gardiner. being No. 249 to
May term, lS48, of the Superior Court
in and for New Castle county"
Mr.. Wier then arose and moved that
a rising vote OF thanks be extended to
the presiding officer, President Grubb,
for the able and impartial manner in
| which he has presided over the Court.
Mr.. Shalleross seconded the motion
in a loud voice. .
l Thu motion tp0a narr,ia1 and tba
| thanks extended US requested.
President Grubb then called Mr.
Roberts to the chair and taking the
| floor he heartily thanked the members
for the courtesy extended to him. He
said no difficulties had occurred be-
tween the members and the chairman
and he took this opportunity to ex-
tend TO the retiring and holding over
members his sincere thanks and best
wishes.
As soon as Mr.. Grubb ceased speak
ing Attorney Rcd ley came into the
room, when on Mr. Wiers MOTION a
vote OF thanks was also rendered to
him. Mr.. Rodney In responding said
this seemed like an obituary of the
court, and continuing he said: Il for
r.s,s Or ;ase,, r. t1s. ibis court has been un-
teen criticisms from the public at
large, but from the party Which
elected tbem.. l feel proud of this
body and thank YOU one and all for
the courtesy that has been shown me
Whileaetlng in the capacity Of your
iattornes."
| A solemn silence seemed to follow
| Mr., Rodney's speech. Levy Courtmen
Rethwell, Wier, Jordan, Shallcross,
Mccall and Roberts were busy packing
up their little effects preparatory to
stepping down and out at the invita-
| tion of the people
The other five members, who will in
all probability turn up again next
| Tuesday, as they are holding-over
members looked on the operation and
wanted to know il they would take
their desks with them. Wier looked
at Rothwell and Roberts as much as
to say, when shall we three meet
ogainy Jordan looked at Hickman,
and Shallcross looked al Mccall, and
thought II they did not say ii, Con
found the gout." ). W. Cooch. who Is
no more member OF tho Trustees of
the Poor, Just dropped Ia TO sympa-
thize with his brethren, and II he did
not say it he might have thought that
eX-Governor Halls ships might as well
have got wrecked at some other time.
Ex-member OF the Legislature and
ex-member OF the Levy Court George
u. Medill also dropped in to soc the
leave-taking, the Misunderstanding and the
tear-shedding operation. He is not in
favor of the Five County Commits
sioner bill though he Is Il Democrat,
and his merry eyes twinklcd at the
suggestion that the ''rooaters" got
lloOred when they ran against The
gOut
finally Mr.. Wier broke the monoton-
GUS silence by motion to adjourn
sine die, which motion was put and
carried Just as the court house clock
mournfully tolled OFF the hour of
three.
Even after that the members tarried
the big end of an hour looking into
each others faces talking of times
gone by when they sat by the flesh
pots down in the land of the taxpayers.
Finally the departure took place. the
last member passed out, Janitor Fem-
ing locked the doors and tine Levy
Court Of l59o-9l had passed into his
tory. What will Tuesday bring forth?
