No better or more suitable choice
could be made. Major Crocker, by his
eminent ability, his long experience
as n lawyer. his high character, and
his courteous demeanor. is not only
eminently fitted for this high position,
but is one os the few men of whom
1t can he truthfully said that he will
add dignity and lustre to the bench.
This tribute is the more readily and
cordially given to Major Crocker's
worth. as it is we'll known TO all the
members OF the bar of both cities that

this office, and that his acceptance of
1t involves sacrifice of his cherished
desire to spend the remaining wears

fort which cannot he found in the
occupancy of any judicial position.

lutions be published in the Norfolk
