ii ON THE DEATH OF JUDGE BALDWIN. "Resolved, That the Supreme Court of the United States, and the country, have sustained, in the death of the Honourable HENRY BALDWIN, a loss of extensive learning, indefatigable industry, pure integrity, and sterling abilities: a long and laborious practice at the Bar, had prepared and disciplined his mind for the severer studies and more responsible duties of the Bench, and he has left to the Profession lasting proofs how faithfully he pursued the one, and how actively he discharged the other. “Resolved, That this meeting sincerely laments Judge BALDWIN'S decease, in the midst of a career of active usefulness; and that the members of this Bar, and Officers of this Court, will wear the usual badge of mourning during the residue of the term. "Resolved, That the chairman and secretary transmit a copy of these proceedings to the family of the deceased, and assure them of our sincere condolence, on account of the great loss they have sustained. "Resolved, That the Attorney General be requested to move the Court that these resolutions be entered in the minutes of their proceedings. Wm. L. Dayton, Secretary." JAS. BUCHANAN, Chairman. To which Chief Justice TANEY, replied as follows: "The Court very sincerely unite with the Bar, in the testimony of respect proposed to be offered to the memory of our departed brother. We have at the present term, as at the last, assembled together under painful circumstances; and are again called upon to deplore the loss of one, who for many years was associated with us in the labours of the court; and whose great learning commanded the confidence of all who had an opportunity of knowing him. He was indeed full of the learning of the law; strikingly familiar with its records and decisions, in ancient as well as modern times; and perhaps scarcely any one can fully appreciate his high claims to respect, unless, like ourselves, he had often met him in the calm discussion of the conference room, and heard him from time to time discussing the various, abstruse and difficult questions which are continually arising. We sincerely feel his loss, and deeply deplore it; and shall direct these proceedings to be entered on the records of the Court, as evidence of the respect and regard which we all entertained for him."
