Elevated to the Bench so far back as 1840 and for so many years prominently before the public, he ever maintained a character of spotless integrity, and unsullied purity. Eminent as a jurist, learned in the law impartial in its administration, he lived honored by his fellowmen, and dying has gone to receive his eternal reward.
