Clarke Outlines Work Done by
Appellate Division in Last
Seventeen Years.

The first annual dinner OF the alumni
association of the New York Law School
| held last night at the Hotel Astor. was
made the occasion of signal tribute pail
to Presiding Justice George l.. mgrahan,
of the Appellate Division. and his court.
Justice Seabury was POSTMASTER: Ed
ward T.. Mccall, chairman Of the Public
Service Commission. discharged his prom
Use given before the change in his Office
and spoke on behalf of the Supreme
Court: Justice John Proctor Clarke spoke
for the Appellate Division Martin W.
Littleton for the bar. and Dean George
Chase for the New York Law school
Justice Clarke told few stories Of
how Justice Ingraham worked in tho
council chamber. where no lawyer or
Iayman could observe him. In the seven
teen years of his work in the Appellate
Division Justice Ingraham wrote 2SSs
opinions 40 OF, which were dissents. JUS
tice Clarke said
II was under Justice Ingrahams prsss-
dency. ne declared. that the calendar has
been cleared. and to-day any case cam
BE- called at the time set for IL. He hsA
aided in doing away with the practice OF
having a case reversed on "A technicality
that had no possible bearing on the dnAA
decision. If the judgment was right Sos
tice Clarke said. il was affirmed despits,
thousand technical errors.
The experience and the character OF
Justice Ingraham were a distinct asset OF
the bench. said former Justice McCau.j
and there was no court i'm the world that
had for its presiding judge more abIsA
or more valuable man than the Appreciated
Division
/ Mr.. Mccall made only one allusion to-
his recent change OF office. He said that
he had been translated from the noisy.I
turbulent and exacting life Of a justice of
the Supreme Court into the quiet, peace !
ful and unknown field OF the Public Ser,
vice Commission-from "A field where bet
could form his own opinion into onsi
where all kinds Of judgments were forcedl
| upon him.
Mr.. Littleton declared it was the SUE;
preme duty of the bar 10 uphold theI
hands of the Judiciary now. when at
tacks upon il were made all over ths'
| country. :
Criticisms of judges or decisions were;
not Objectionable 10 him, said Justice In
graham. but attacks upon the bench as a
whole were different matter. He then
spoke about the disbarment proceedings
| that demanded the attention of mis- court
| and expressed the hope that the law
schools would lay greater stress on teach
| ing that a. lawyer should not advise his
client how TO steal and yet he safe from
the law. but would advise him 10 obey the
! spirit Of the statutes.
