JUDGE WILSON'S REPLY.
AT the conclusion of the speakers re-
marks, which were most attentively
listened to and greeted with unanI-
NOUS approval, Judge Vinson, vis-
bly, moved at the preceding panegyrlc,
slowly arose and in a clear voice re-
piled:
II consider it high honor and
great privilege to be entertained by the
bar of Frederick. 1t is peculiarly dis
tlnguished for its learning and ability.
Many important legal principles that
have become the settled law of the
State have originated here. The man
her In which cases are prepared and
tried 10y the members of this bar has
always been matter of worthy conf
ment. The ingenuity devised to make
them perfect shows advanced legal
knowledge. The remarks of Judge
McSherry have excited in ME the
deepest emotion and my heart throbs
at your kindness. l am not vain
enough to think that L deserve all
that has been said about me. l rather
take it that il is due to the Judges
warm personal friendship for me. He
has been to my faults a little blind and
to my virtues very kind. But l am
deeply affected by all this and am
sure that l am thankful beyond ex-
preston tor these testimonials of your
professional respect and personal es-
TEEN.
JUDGE LYNCH's ADDRESS.
Judge Lynch, associated in like Ca
pacity with Judge Vinson ON the
bench, replied to the toast, "rhe Judic-
larry" He said among other things:
at would be strange to you, 1 know, if did
not on this occasion make a complaint COM
plain therefore, because l, being myself a MEN,
Der OF the Judiciary, have been selected to re-
spond TO this toast, for what l may say must
be applied to myself as we'll as the others.
There are ~ judges in this state, therefore you
must only pace one twenty-ninth of my re-
marks to my credit Seriously, the judiciary
of Maryland have always been distinguished
fJr their integrity and conscientious discharge
of duty. l nave been on the bench thirty
years and in that time have always found
the judges OF this State to he able, industrious
ana conscientious and all of service TO me in
discharglng my own duty. AS Lord Bacon
says, Integrity is the proper virtue Of q
judge" And have found this true Of all the
judges i'll this State. All the CHIEF judges
OF our higher court have been peculiarly distiu-
guished men. Glance over the long list, and
you will find that no State in the Union has
furnished an abler body ofjurists and citizens"
Af:er briefly eulogiZing such men as Judges
Benjamin Rumsey, Towniey Chase, John Bu-
chaunan, Stevenson, Archer, Dorsey, Bowie,
Bartol, Alvey and the present Chief Judge of
the Appeals Court, John Nj. Robinson, he paida
plnwiuV trlhufp A ludpa Miller "a N Ind
sherry. Notwithstanding" he said, that we
think SO highly of these gentlemen who have
occupied the chief places on the bench, there
have been many opinions written by associate
judges, now lying crumbiing among the ar
chiyes, that shows eminent ability, talents,
and sound law. "rhe opinions and decisions
OF the judges of Mary land, assisted by the
members of the bar, have given tone to the
State. The Judiciary of Maryland has, too,
been notably pure. There has never been
case OF The impeachment of judge in this
commonwealth. Again quoting from Lord
Bocon, gcodjudge is judge who gives u pa
tient hearing 10 all cases, be not an overspeak-
ing judge. so will obey that injunction, but
before sit down want 10 say that all Judge
McSherry has said about Judge Vinson is true
in word and letter. have been on the bench
with him twelve years. / have always found
him industrious, faithful, Conscientious and
fearless in the discharge of his duty. There
can be no greater qualification for a judge than
uprightness and fearlessness, and both OF these
he has. No one regrets his leaving the bench
have been most agreeable. May he long live
to enjoy the blessings ofthis life"

the United States," aud his remarks

approval.
