We have found him always capable and careful to the utmost in the performance of his work, accom plishing it with much ease that it seem ed to him a pleasure. His fairness in all matters brough before him gave equal aasuranne to all parties that jus tice would not suffer at his hands, and he ever acted as an officer rather mind ful of his sworn duty to do justice to all j than over-zealous always to convict. His conduct and his bearing among ur, officially, has ever bee- - .
