IN MEMORANDA. F. JUDD.

the family traditions laid down by his
father, DT, G, p. Judd, The latter
wrote his name indelibly upon the his
tory of Hawaii as an able admnistra
tive officer. Like many another able
man the Doctor encountered strong OPP
position which eventually succeeded In
driving him from public life, but for
many years he carried on the admins
tration of Hawaii ably and vigorously,
and to him are due the inception of
many of our best government methods.
His fearless conduct at the time that
Lord George Paulet seized the Islands
must always be remembered by Am
orleans. He served the monarchy, but
he served it as an honorable American.
The late Chief Justice has written his
name indelibly, upon the history of Ha-
wall as an able jurist. worthily carry
ing on the work and upholding the ira
ditions which had been established by
his predecessors, Lee, Allen and Harris,
Like all men of inflexible justice, his
fearless expounding of the law made
him enemies as well as friends. But
even those who would have him ignore
the law, and interpret it differently
to what was its evident intent, never
accused him of fouling the judicial err
mine, which he kept spotelss as an AS
sOciate Justice and then as the highest
judicial officer of the monarchy and of
the republic.
Chief Justice Judd was a thorough
American. He, as his father before him
had done, served the monarchy, but
served it as an honorable American
gentleman can. Hawaii was the land
of his birth, but the United States was
the land of his ancestry; the land from
which he drew his legal knowledge and
traditions, and he rejoiced to see the
little ocean waif taken under the wing
of the great republic, for he knew that
political and commercial safety lay that
way. But he loved Hawaii for herself,
and he loved her people, and was ever
anxious to do all. in his power for them
by advice and example. To the mem
bers of the bar he was always cour-
teous; to the Hawaiian members he was
not only courteous but most kindly, and
many an Hawaiian lawyer owes his
advancement to the good advice and
the efficient assistance of the late Chief
Justice.
But we must not look upon his public
character only, That was able, indus
trious and patriotic. 1t commanded
respect from those who We're not in
accord with him; it won the esteem of
those who were. But if his public life

A more devoted husband and father
could not be found or truer friend,

His family was large, consisting Of
seven sons and two daughters. To the
education of these at the prominent
seats of learning in the United States,
the Judge has DEVOTED himself, and law
and medicine have each representa-
tive from his family. In his family re-
lations Judge Judd was model citi-
zen, and gave an example of the happy
Christian family. with worthy aims and
noble ambitions, which go so fully into
the making of a healthy and progress
sive State, for the family is the founda-
ton of the State, the rock upon which
it rests and he who gives such an ex-
ample through his life's course has
helped to elevate and to strengthen the
community among whom he has spent
the years of his life. Goldsmith says
that the man who brings up his family
we'll does more for his king than he
who fights his battles. And his words
put into the mouth of the Vicar of
Wakefield might serve as an epitaph of
Judge Judd's tomb.
Judge Judd has passed away at the
comparatively early age of sixty-two,
but he was always a most conscientious
worker, and his close application told
upon his health, though 1t was only last
summer that his active mind began to
fail, and the Chief Justice had to seek
rest, and hoped for recovery. But it
was too late, and painlessly the spirit
took it's flight to the great beyond
TO reach that eternal rest which we all
hope for, and which Albert Francis
Judd hoped for and believed in as true
and earnest Christian gentleman.
