Your Honors: When a man OF
prominent position is removed by
death from our midst, we are
wont to meet and express our re.
gret for the loss. If he was also a
good man, our regrets may well be
tempered by the belief that our loss
has been to him blissful change
Our friend, Lawrence McCully, is nc
longer present in our gatherings, but
as we know that he was a good man.
so our faith teaches us that the great
change which comes to us all, has
been for him only a promotion, and
while his pleasant countenance will
not beam upon us in the flesh again,
we will remember with pleasure and
profit the example furnished by his
many years of upright life. The
members of the Hawaiian bar have
committed to me the sad duty of pre-
senting their resolutions of condo
lence, and asking that they be spread
upon the records of this Court. Be-
fore performing this duty, may be
permitted to pay my tribute of re-
spect and admiration for the lost
friend, the pure judge and the good
man. l arrived in Honolulu with my
family on the last day of May, 1877
Aside from my relatives, Judge and
Mrs McCully were the first to extend
to us hospitality and welcome. A
friendship was inaugurated that day
which has remained unbroken; Its
lines have drawn closer as the years
went by, and in times of sorrow and
trouble the heartfelt sympathy of 6
true friend was extended and rend
cred its service of consolation. My
admiration for the ability and in
tegrity of Judge McCully has beer
the result of close observation of hi:
conduct as Justice of this Court fol
many years, but will confine my re
marks to this expression of my
sincere affection and my sense O.
personal loss, leaving to those wht
are better qualified, the statement O
his ability and uprightness as
judge and of his scholarly attain
ments. mourn the loss of a pur
hearted man and dear friend.
