where he graduated in 1861 in class dis
tinguished for its members becoming
eminent as college presidents, professors,
soldiers snd lawyers. He began studying
law with Hon. A. W. Paine, OF Bangor,
and was admitted to the Penobscot bar in
August, 1863.
In the October following his admission
to the bar, Mr.. Emery opened law Office
in Ellsworth, where he has since resided
forming CO. partnership with Samuel
Waterhouse, which continued for four
years. He was elected county attorney IN
1865. In 1868 he entered into partnership
with Eugene Hale, then entering on
Congressional career. The partnership
lasted fifteen years, being dissolved only
by the appointment of Mr.. Emery to the
supreme bench.
Justice Emery was member of the
Maine Senate in 1874 and rs, and in '76
was elected encouragement of the State,
serving in that position three years. he
was again elected to the Senate i'll 1850, and
and in l8S0-S1 he served as chairman OF
the joint committee on judiciary.

generally recommended by the bar OF the
State that GOV. Robbie appointed him an
associate justice. In 1889 he was elected
professor of medical Jurisprudence in the
Maine medical school at Bowdoin college,
a chair formerly filed by Chief-Justice
Tenney and Judge Charles w. Goddard.
as A LEGISLATOR.
Justice Emery's legislative labors we're
notable for his efforts to ameliorate ana
simplify the law, and to extend the equity
powers of the court. His extensive prac-
tice had well fitted him, and he had the
rare courage, for lawyer, to attempt and
carry through the changes which seemed
to him to be required. During his hrst
year in the Senate he procured the enact
ment of bill permitting the amendment
of writs to cure the mIsioinder or non
joinder of plaintiffs. 1t remains part OF
the permanent legislation OF the State.
AT the same session he advocated, as
member Of the Judiciary committee, CIV
ing the court full equity powers, which it
now has.
At the following session in 1875, he car
ried through the Senate bill to abolish
imprisonment for debt. The bill was de-
feated in the House, where it was pre-
sumed this humane legislation would be
most popular, but ten years later impris-
onment for debt was abolished without
opposition. When chairman OF the Senate
judiciary committee in 1881, Justice Emery
was largely instrumental in framing and
carrying through the legislature the
equity procedure act, to make proceedings
in equity more simple, speedy and effect

the earnings may run up to a point far be-

hundred per cent yearly on Its stock. OF
