Excerpt from Miscellanies Gentlemen OF the bar, The time has now ar rived which I have assigned to myself for terminating the official relation which has so long existed between us. It is now nearly twenty-two years since I was first called to this bench, and I take a degree of satisfaction in stating, that during this whole time I have been absent but upon one occasion, and that was at the last November term, when a severe illness, from which I have scarcely yet re covered, detained me from my duties. I may also add, that no term Of this court has ever been closed till every case ready for disposition was finally heard. We have felt that next in importance to a correct determination of causes is a prompt administration of justice. But for a number of years past it has required extraordinary labor to keep the business up, and at times we have felt it almost impossible to do so. I have ever felt, and at times Oppressively, the great responsibilities which must rest upon each member of a court of last resort, and I have constantly endeavored to discharge them properly. That I have fallen into many errors in the course of my judicial life cannot be denied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
