{. Maycock member OF the bar of this

made; now. therefore, be it

Judge Lewis Speaks.
Judge Lewis, speaking briefly of the
work and character Of Mr.. Maycock,
said:
"'The court desires to say that it is
eminently fit that the bar should call
the court S attention TO the death of
it's members. and in the court g opinion
no member s death should take place
without some mark of esteem being
shown toward depsrted brother The
court entertain Il the very highest re-
gard for Mr.. Mavcock. both as n man
and also as a lawyer. In his habits of
life he was most exemplary. and was
possessed OF very strong religious con-
victions. but was also very tolerant of
the views or people who disagreed with
him, He was very courageous in de-
sgeous in disagreeing at -----er times
and proper places with those of his own
faith. AS a lawyer he was most cour-
teous to bis brethren. always emlnently
fair. and never sought to take an un.
fair advantage He gave every appear
ance of being a particularly hard
worker
"He was studious and possessed
clear legal mind, and when he investi-
gated a question he went INTO all the
law bearing upon that question, and
was not coutcnt with looking uD that
phase Of the question that he bnd be-
fore him for immediate consideration
AS trial lawyer he had not the widest
experience because he had been at the
bar only short time, but in those
cases that he did try he showed un-
mistakable ability.
''In a case tried in this division of
the court only about month ago, in
which he appeared on ore side and Mr..
Cherrington upon the other, the coart
was particularly impressed with the
manner in which Mr. Maycock conduct
ed the case and with the ability that
he displayed, both upon questions of
law to the court and in his argument
Of the facts TO the jury. He was
tenacious Of his own strong points and
keen To observe vulnerable point in
his opponents case. He was kind and
courteous in the case, but vigorous in
presenting his side. The court feels
the loss Of good member Of the pro.
fession Ill the death of Mr.. Maycock,
and, possessed as he was of apparently
so strong body. his taking away ad.
monishes us of the uncertainty of life. !"
AS mark Of respect to the deceased
court was adjourned until Monday.
Judge Stewart, Mr.. Cherrington and
Mr.. Irvine also, passed brief eulogies
to the memory Of the dead lawyer.
