shop, as he had previously left farm
work for the anvil, and his next move
was to engage in the study Of law. The
legal profession proved to be his proper
field of effort. Pending his admission
to the bar he occupied the position Of
professor Of mathematics In San Fran
cisco college. Before his admission to
the bar, and when only twenty-five years
of age, he was elected member of the
lower house of the California legislature,
in which capacity he served with honor
and distinction during the session of
1876.
In May, 1876 Young Mcguire entered
the law office of Cowdrey & Preston.
where he completed his law studies,
and on January 14th, 1878, he was ad-
mitted to practice before the state
supreme court. In 1882 he was elected
judge of the superior court Of San Fran
cisco, over which he presided to the en-
tire satisfaction of the bar Of that city
Including General Barnes-for the
period of six years. AS a judge he was
firm but courteous, patient and indus
trious, and his decisions were seldom re-
versed by the supreme court.
While on the bench Judge Mcguire
was obliged to devote nearly whole
year of his time to the famous suit Of
Emeric VS.. Alvarado, which was one
of the most difficult and complicated
land suits ever tried in any California
court. The Judges decision involved
rulings upon several hundred independ-
ent questions of law, and no less than
seven distinct appeals therefrom were
prosecuted in the supreme court. The
decision, however. was completely af-
firmed by the higher tribunal, and in
their decision the judges took occasion
to compliment Judge Mcguire upon the
