To the Honorable Albert A. DOub,
Judge of the Circuit Court for
Garrett County, Maryland.
The members of the Garrett County
Bar view with deep regret the knowl-
edge that through circumstances over
which none of US have control, that
this will probably be your last ap-
pearance on this bench at regular
jury term of this court, and we deem
this a fit occasion to express to you
our sincere appreciation and gratitude
for the splendid, constant and efficient
services you have rendered the State
of Maryland and this circuit for more
than thirteen years; be it therefore
RESOLVED, By the members of the
Garrett County Bar that we feel that
you are retiring from the exalted
position which you hold at this time
in your life when through study, prac-
tice and experience your high qualifi-
cations as a jurist will be distinct
loss to your State and country.
During the years you have presided
on this bench and have administered
the law capably, considerably and
kindly, there has been created in each
member of this bar true confidence,
deep respect and high admiration for
your splendid attainments, and not
only do these expressions emanate
from the members of this bar, but are
prevalent with tn elaity of this county
of all classes. They feel as we do, that
your services are of a high order; that
you possess an unusually broad knowl-
edge of the law, deep understanding
of human nature and an earnest de-
sire to apply legal principles in an
efficient and conscientious manner,
having always in view the purpose to
render service to your State and coun-
try, and ever since you have been ele-
waited to the bench your administra-
ton of justice has promoted the well
fare of the citizens of this county as
we'll as that of this State and country.
That among the many qualifications
which you possess we do not deem any
more outstanding than your marked
judicial temperament, and as mem
bers of this bar we will always APP
preciate and will always retain fond
memory of you as a friend and as
jurist, a high type worthy of emula
ton, and we will always appreciate
your kindness, patience and indul-
gence; and be it further
RESOLVED, That you leave this
bench with our highest esteem and
best wishes.
RESOLVED, That copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the min
utes of this court and that copy of
the same be presented to the Honora-
BILE Albert A. Doub
