Three “ixotting Contesta—Honcst Allen and Mate,} Proceedings in the United States Circuit Court TRE DEATH OF JUDGE DENIC. Eloquent Fulogies by Charles O'Vonor and Others. The death of Judge Dento has led to a gencral ex- pression of regret on the part of the bench and bar of this city. The United States Circuit Court, pre- sided over by Judge Woodruff, adjourned as soon a8 the announcement of the death of Judge Denio was bronght to tts attention.. On that occasion eloquent addresses were made by Mr. Charles O'Conor, Mr. Noah Davis, Mr. Henry BE. Davies and Judge Wood- ruff. Subjoined will be found a report of their re- marks, REMARKS OF MR, NOAH DAVIS, The United States Attorney, Mr. Davis, sald:— May it please the Court—Since the last adjourn. ment of this Court the death of the Hon, Hiram Demo, late Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals of Us State, has been announced tn the public papers. The IMgh rank of that gentieman as a lawyer and jurist, apd his long and distinguished services on the bench, as well as his exalicd character as man and citizen, seem to me to cali Upon this tribunal, m common wit the courts oF the State, to pay the respect to his memory ustal upon the decease of eminent judges and lawyers. Resoiutions having that ob,ect have just been placed in my hands, which I beg permission of the Court vo olier, ey Will be seconded by older and abicr meinbers of this bar, longer and better acquainted with the deceased than myself, and more capable Of speaking of him in terms beiitting hus oilicial and personal merits, But 1 cannot forbear, belore reading the resolutions, to add that it fell to my lot, while holding @ seat on the bench of the Supreme Cour!, to serve one year m the Court of Appeals, over which Judge Denio was then presiding. During that penod 1 formed for him the warmest personal attachment, and J can truly sav that I never met with any man im whom were more largely developed the elements of genuine kindness and gooduess of heart. His patience asa presiding judge was proverbial, andl never knew it to falter, His mind was capable of grasping and handling the most iotricate questions of law. Wuile he was self-reliant aud firm, yet he was never obsti- nate, and in cousultaions NO man could be more ready or Willing to listen to others, to weigh argu- ment On all sides and endeavor to reach couclusions: that should be just and right. Your Honor ts so Jamillar with the numerous and valuable opinions pronounced by him that a reterence to them here 15 unnecessary, Jn hus death the country has lost an eminent lawyer, an able judge, an honest man, a patriotic citizen and the valuable presence and ex- ample of a thorough Curisuan gentleman, 1 now olfer the tollowing resolutions:— As the sense of the bar of this Court, now in that im the death of the Hon. Hiram Demo the d the bar have lost one of their greatest oruaments, gad that the community is deprived of a citizen gifted with quailties most estimable ju the man, and most vu‘uable to society. Reavived, That the Court be requested to enter this testi- monial on {ts minuies, and that it do now adjourn. REMARKS OF MR. H. EB. DAVIES. Mr. HENRY E. Daviks—I have been request- ed by my associates of the bar to second tese resolutions, ‘his honor, 1 have no doubt, has been assigned me from the circumstance that for six years 1 was associated with the la- mented ‘deceased in the administration of justice in the highest court of the State. I knew im for many years, and J hope it is no vanity to say thatl knew him intimately. I have enjoyed his friendship and have many cherished evidences of it, Judge Dento has been conspicuously associated- With the judicial history of this State and its public atfairs for the last forty years, He has held high and responsible ofices, the duties of which he dis- charged in an emrnent degree with capacity, intel- ever and integrity. He was for many years the District Attorney ot Oneida county, then Cireait Judge, and after that he discharged the duties of the responsible office of Bank Commissiozer, He was then State reporter, and closed his labo.s in that oifice upon the organization of the judicial system under the constitution of 1846. On the bench he was distinguished for nis uzbanity, his careful attention to fis duties and earnest desire to falfl them faithfully, He was diligent in search of truth, and ehowed great discrimination in handling facts and applying to them the correct legal prin- etples, In the Court of Appeals he was Judge and Chef Judge from ea] 1853, to January 1, 1867, and for six years, to the latter date, it was my fortune to be associated with him in that Coart, While thero he always evinced the greatest consideration for and kindness to his associates, and though ever regarded as primus inter pares, his modesty ever repelied the idea of any superi- orivy. He was conscicntious in all his duties, labo- rious in tne study of cases and the preparation of his opinions. ‘they are models of judicial learning and profound research. He ever carried with hun the warm and a lonate regards of lis associates, ne man could fall to know him withous honoring ma. None knew him but to love him, None named him but to praise. I feel It my duty to second the adoption of these resolutions, and irast that the Court will not deem 1b inconsistent with its dutivs to accede to the requosé contained in them, REMARKS OF MR. CHARLES O'CONOR. Mr, CuaRtESs O'Conor d:—May ite please the Court—The remarks made by the Distriet Attorney and Jusice Davies, thougn brief, fully mect ail the requirements of the occasion, They appropriately and forcibly and adequately express cur dvep con- cern, as wellas cur respect for the deceased and our admiration of bis high qualities.

The fund was in the district, in the hands of the attorney of-this tirm, and the Bank- raptey Court was asked to enjoin payment to tne non-accounting partners or to the platniif in error, who hadset up aclaim and who had been cited to aswertit. Atthis pomt the surviving partners m- tervened and set up thelr rights, ‘The Bankruprey Court, having acquired such jurisdiction over the snbdject matter and the paviies, decided that | the debt originally duc to the assignees of the plainti? in error hai veen paid (none of those parties being present or having notice), and that the fund in the hands of the attorney of the firm should be paid over to Mason, the assignee of the insolvent. Smith appealed from the Bank- ruptcy Court to the Court in bane, where the injunc- tion against payment to the surviving partners was dissolved, and an order was made that the money be paid over to them, and without notice to Smith’s assignors, It is here urged that the Court im Bank. ruptcy erred in assuming jurisdiction to adjudicate the right under the circuuistances stated, and that the Court in banc erred in making a@ decree in the case, It had appellate jnrisdiction only, and should have remanded the case to the bankruptey Cours for further proceedings, No. 191.
