JUDGE KELIY'S RETIREMENT.

The retiremer. of thaa able jurist
Judge Joseph l.. Kelly Of Bristol Va.
from the bench CT thu Supreme Court
of Appeals Of Virginia, over which
august tribunal he presided as Cher
Justice and the statement of lis reas-
ons for the aforesaid retirement has
emphasized the fact that the legal
luminaries in this State who are dis
reneing justice are making the sacrl-
lice of lifetime in their well-meant
effort to serve the public. Practically
all the money is &c be found at the bar
in front of the Court instead of on the
bench where long hours Of labor and
research are both the rule and the
necessity.
A belated effort is now being made to
increase the pay of the judges, with
the evident purpose of preventing fur
Their depletions in the ranks of some D.
the ablest jurists in the State. We hope
that the movement will succeed and
that the legislature will begin with the
Supreme Court and continue its eff,
forts until all of the other presiding
officers of our Courts have been grant

Virginia ju~tice is of the highest order
and the dispensers of it should be recog
