and in doing SO said
81 feel I cannot let this occasion pass
without saying few words about the late
Justice Job H. Lippincott. We came to
this county the same year. At that time
the bar was small and we met each other
often and under varied circumstances. /
can remember no occasion in which he
did not act the manly part. He pos
sessed courage, both mental and physical
AS an advocate he was always fair and
obliging, as a citizen his convictions were
firm and positive, as judge he was faith
full earnest and fearless, with know
ledge of men and a desire to do justice,
which made him a great judge. He was
never controlled by his social or political
surroundings and always tried to do right
as he saw it.
He possessed that knowledge of men
that is possessed by leaders of men. His
knowledge of affairs of the county made
him invaluable in this circuit. His life
was full of ideas of his duties and his
career as advocate judge and citizen is
an honor to the bar, the county and the
State"
Justice Collins was chosen chairman
and after taxing the chair said
'Tt is not my purpose to give any
eulogy. AS an associate with Mr.. Justice
Lippineott upon the Supreme Court bench
I had rare opportunities to see into the
depths of his mind and often marveled at
his ability for work. No Judge gained and
kept the affections of his brethren so well
as Judge Lippincott did His mind was
proad and his opinions gave evidence of
great research. Justice Lippincott had
physical, moral and civic courage. He
was not afraid to do his duty As long
as we ourselves remain we wifi remem-
her him fondiy in our affections"
Judge Garretson, Judge Blair. ex-Gov-
eronr Werts, Charles n. Hartshorne and
Charles D. Thompson were appointed a
committee to prepare resolutions, and
after brief absence Judge Garretson
presented these and moved their adop-
ton
The Bar Association of Hudson County,
assembled to do honor to the memory Of
Justice job H. Lippincott, desires to place
on record the epression of sorrow over
his sudden and seemingly untimely death.
We desire further to record our appre-
citation of the late Justice as a man and
citizen; our admiration of his personal
qualities of honesty and ineorruptibility.
our respect for him as learned jurist
and an upright, impartial and fearless
judge.
During his long residence and active
life amongst us he endeared himself to
this entire community.
In public life he elevated and digniied
every station he occupied and ever exem-
piified the model public official
In his judicial career he was the ideal
just judge-the shield and protector of
the innocent and the oppressed-the stern
and unrelenting foe of fraud and crime.
Justice Lippincott was of untiring indus
try in the. discharge of his duties and
courteous and prompt in their perform
ance.
1t is meet and proper that the memory
of a Judge so meritorious and distinguish
ed should be perpetuated In the records
of the courts over which he presided or
whereof he was constituent member.
We therefore request that this minute
Of our love and esteem for the deceased
jurist be entered upon the records Of the
different courts of this county. and that
the same be presented to the Supreme
Court and the Court of Errors and APP
peals and application made thereto to
have the same entered in the records
thereof.
In second the adoption of the resolutions
