starving and dying, when man’s mercy is no Jonger able to rescue them irom death. One of ‘the most respectable physicians of the Fourth ‘ward disclosed to a reporter of the HenaLp some harrowing instances of his experience among the poor and distressed of the lower part of this city, He stated that he would tell the reporter only of ‘eases in which the afflicted were periectly worthy, @ober, temperate, honest people, We give bia sory, as nearly as possible, in his own words:— HOW A FATHER BURIED A CHILD. Some time ago I was called to a house in Vande- ‘Water street to a poor woman who had just given birth to a still-born child, Lattended her as well | agicould, and inthe evening her husband, who | ‘Was out of work, came to me and applied for the | Usual return of still-birth, which I gave him at | Once. He said he was voo poor to bury the child and seemed to be in great distress. Subseqaently | he called on me and confessed that he scrambked over the walls of Calvary Cemetery that night and raked up the earth with his finger nails to bury tue child in consecrated ground. [asked him why he did not have the child decently buried, and he replied bitterly:—“How can I have atuneral if I an give my poor wile nothing to eat?” Youcan thus imagine how heart-broken the poor man was, particularly as he was adevout Roman Catholic. ‘This man was an honest, sober and temperate me- chanic, who was thrown out of employment in eonsequence of the panic. A LIFE SACRIFICED. “On Friday afternoon I was called to another house in Vandewater street, No. 5. In a filtny room, stripped of every comfort which could have Made it habitable for human beings, I saw a new- born cbila, It was dead, and its deatn was owing to the extreme poverty of the motner, Mrs. Bridget McCarthy, who had had no means of em- ploying @ physician, Thus was a human being sacrificed by reason of this terribie, unprecedented stress of poverty. I attended the mother, who was very ill indeed in consequence of neglect; and so gratesul were these poor people that her littie son went round begging with bis hat in order to be abie to pay me something for my services, ‘This ‘Woman Was @ most worthy Creature, and my heart Died at seeing her misery. ‘A CHILD DYING OF WANT. “A few weeks ago | was called to No. 15 Rose street, to attend the child of Charles Leslie, @ Yailor but lately arrived in this country, 1 found the boy suffering irom typhoid fever, lils feeble body wasted toa shadow. He was delirious, and Way on a wretched little pallet of straw, | saw at a glance that the boy was beyond all earthiy help, and pronounced his case hopeless. The poor tatuer tore bis hair. I told him that the boy could have Deen saved if he bad only sent for a doctor soouer, He said it Was impossible, as they had been living for weeks and weeks on the charity of the family Whose rooms were directly opposite. ‘I nave been Without employment, and have had no money, and We feared that you would not come without | pay,’ the iather said. At the same time the honest Iwan tendered me $1, which he had begged, ana which { of course reiused. STILL ANOTHER VICTIM OF STARVATION. “An engraver irom Bristol, England, came here a | few months ago, with his wile and child, At irst | he obtuined employment, but the panic threw him ‘Upon bis scant resources, The young wile became | @ mother, avd they were so poor that the child led but a very sickly existence, and simply for want of proper futrition. Upon its decease, which was caused by this lack of tood, he had neituer money 40 buy bimesell bread nor to deiray the expenses of Durying the child. He said to me:—‘My child must he here until some one takes pity on me.’ Through the Kindness of the officers o/ ‘Irinity parish and a lady (a Miss Church), who defrayed the costs in common, the child was buried. Could anytning be more terrible? ILL FOR WANT OF FOOD. “Yesterday 1 was called to Baxter street to at- tend an old lady, eighty-two years ol age, WoO was suffering from pneumonia. Her condition was sucn | | that I sent immediately for a priest, the poor wo- | Mau being a Roman Catholic. I asked why they did | not send fr a doctor before, and they replied with | the pride that you will irequently snd among | these worthy people, that they were too poor, and that the patient’s condition was directly caused | ‘Dy want of sustenance. ‘hus she had been linger- ing without proper food for a week, and now | ex- | pect her son, a mechanic, out of work, every mo- | Ment to ask for a death certificate.” | The physician whose statements are given above | | | has addressed the following circular to all tue pas- tors of cuurches in ths city, At his request his name is omitted, and it is only to be hoped that his noble example will be imitated by muny mem- bers of the medical profession :— New Yonr, Oct. 1, 1873, Dxar Str—A line from you to any indigent person pre- sented to me will secure medical atiendsnce gra- tujtously. Tam obliged to adopt this measure to protect my. gelt against imposition by treating without tee only those who are seut to me by reputuble pares thus au- thorized, With respect, ~ WHAT WILL BECOME OF ANNIE SIEWART? Last evening another inquiry was made at the | Howard Relief, in Leonard street, by a Heraup reporter, as to the whereabouts or safety of Annie Stewart, the poor milliner girl, who came (rom bpringficid, Mass., and who has twice attempted to commit suicide, The Superintendent made the following statement as to what has happened her, 80 far as Known :— “Mr. Solomons, one of our Executive Commit- tee, finding that it was impossible to give the poor woman lodgings among so many men, took her in person down the street to the Futh ward station house, in Leonard street, and there got her a night’s lodging. This | morning at about eight o'clock, as it is sap- osed, being iniormed by @ policeman, she came ere With some olber women and got some break- fast, I knew nothing of her story or I would have detained her, because alterward sev- eral gentiemen called, and, not finding her, | leit their addresses and promised to assist her by \y means in their power, We do not know where she js to-night, as she has not applied for lodging at this place. I would have detained her until as- a@istance came had | known her story.” It is quite probable that this wretched woman— oh! bow wretched aud turiorn, without money or iriends—will die in the next Jorty-eight hours if not rescued by some iriendly hand. Like poor “Joe” in “Bleak House,’’ she seems to have no bosiness leit for her on earth but to “move on” and Keep “moving on’ until she finds her home in Potter’s rield. Let the Poiice louk to it, and let them remember that it She ts detained tnere will be pleuty of people and | good charitabie men and women to turnish her transportation to her home tn Springiield. There are two things that will identify her. She remem- | bers that her name is Annie Stewart, and that she Das a lather and motner at Springfield. STARVED TO DEATH. John Thompson, a veteran of the late war, who | ‘was aljuded to in yesterday’s HERALD as being in | @ dying condition at Park Hospital, brought about by starvation, can not last many hours longer. Although a comparatively tall man, he hardly Weighs fifty pounds now. His eyes are sunken in and are lit up with that peculiar light which oftimes precedes death. His gaze is fixed for hours on a placard on the wall, on ‘which appears in large letters, the text, “Blessed gre the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” The inscription must appear a grim mockery to tie aying veteran, His arms are hardly bigger thana man’s wrists, except at the elbows, while his iegs | are so feariully wasted that they might almost be | taken for those ofa skeleton, This applies like- | wise to the bones of his face, which stand out in anguiar relief. He is beyoud all human aid, as he is unabie to retain any food on his stomach, through having undergone such lengthened starvation. He is fed with milk and whiskey every half hour, but the physician has no hope of saving his liie, as the victim of starvation | is too far gone. The doctor obtained some oxtail soup for him yesterday, but he could not retain it. He is a native of Wolverhampton, in England; ts thirty-seven years of age, aud fought in our late war in the Second Massachusetts Heavy Artillery. He was wounded at Ball’s Biufl in the leg, and tha wound necessitated the amputation of iis leg at | the new Oharity Hospital. GOOD WORK OF THE HOWARD “RE- LIEF.” . Up to ten minutes bejore eleven o'clock last | evening, nearly 400 men had been furnished with yOSging for the night at their house, No. 49 | Leonard street, It was impossible to find beds tor them all and many had to sit ‘Up and jie on the stairs, or in nooks and corners ofan uncomfortable kind, but they were all glad to find shelter. About 100 of these people were new-comers, and had not presented themselves before for a lodging. Two or three drunken men came, but were re- fuged shelter, as there was not room for sober persons, The representatives of twenty-two familles, nearly all women, cailed to ask tor food jor their chiliren and for themselves and sick hus- bands, or husbands without work. They received loaves of bread and soup take home, some women carrying away as many as three loaves in proportion to the number of cbil- ren in their family. At a few minutes belore ‘eleven o'clock there were stiil coming men of all es for lodgings, and none were turned awa’ ‘ne last who come was a very gentleman ‘oung lad, Who gave his name ag Georwa BF A looking erick NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET. Simpson, of England, aged twenty-two yi and six montns. He stated that bis mother was tne Matron of the London Institution for Femaies; that he had arrived in this city twelve months ago, and soon alter his arrival had obtained a situation at Lord & Say- lor’s, at the corner of Twentieth street and Broad- way. One night, he declared very frankly that, having been then in the employment of this firm eight months, he took a glass of too much, and, having been reported by the watchman, had been discharged, Then he was beiriended by a Mrs. Hughes, in Jersey City, and had ee obtained employment at the oyster saloon of White & Gray, corner of ‘Twelith street and Fourth avenue. He workea there for $2 & week and found in food, and a quarrel came up between master and man about the cooking of an oyster fry. He was then discharged, and $8 in wages have been retained by | his last empjoyers, which, he asserts, should be paid him, ey told him when he cailed jor the money to go tothe howard Relief until he got work. The young man has @ bright face, end seemed very sorry for his error of intemperance, but he has not a dissipated look by any means, A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION. We received yesterday, from a mercantile house doing business near Washington Market, a most valuable suggestion for the establishment of soup kitchers in which the suffering poor may be freely fed, with the generous promise of a weekly dona- ton of articles of food from their stock. With the behef that this offer will. bring out many similar contributions, we give the note, as 1ollows:— To THE KbITOR OF THE HERaLD:— Rewding the accounts published in your valuable journal of this morning, under the heading of “Destitution,”’ it occurred to us that there are many merchants who would subscribe their mite to alleviate the suierings of the needy poor, and would suggest that as soon as practicable soup kitchens be established; that dealers im and ground Washington Market agree to contribute Weekly such of their goods as would be acceptable to the directors of these much needed institutions. We are dealers in potatoes, apples, onions, beets, carrots, turnips, &c., and promise to deliver weekly for the next tour weeks, eight barrels po- tatves, one barre} onions, two barrels turnips, one barrel carrots and one barrel beets. There are ienty among our trade who would gladly contri- ute Vexetavles, fish, meat, &c.

Rblief for the Poor, To THE EpiToR or THE HERALD:— I have read very carefully the elaborate article in your issue of yesterday, together with the edi- torials upon the same subject, and believe that | they will be the means of exciting general atten- tion to the condition of the destitute classes o! the city. The well-to-do public seemed utterly ob- livious to the fact that destitution, unequalled even in the hard winter of 1857, was driving the poor to the verge of a mad riot; and since the panic every one who possessed $1 seemed to de- vote all his or her energy to keeping it from faliing into the possession of some one else, Demagogues ranted about misery with which they were in no Way acquainted, and not only drowned the plaints of the really suffering, but caused thosefrom whom | aid must be expeoted to regard them with incre- dulity and aversion. At last, thanks to the HER- ALD, this damb misery has found a million tongued voice, and its pleadings will pierce even to the coldest and most selfish hearts. There can be lit- tle room for doubt that now, When the prosperous are brought face tu face with the terrible picture of destitution about them, they will contribute generously, as tis city of charity ever does, towards the relief of the sufferers. But the ques- tou of the best means of providing for these nun- gry, homeless and sick ones remains, and in this relation I would respectiully submit for the con- sideration ol the pubic the plan of operations that has been adopted with success in the Filth and Eigath wards. We have a volunteer visitor (who is nearly always a contrtoutor to the tunds) in every block. ‘This Visitor, a lady or gentleman, as the case may be, looks alter the poor of her or nis neighborbiooa, with the faces Of many of whom they are familiar, and they at irequent times make the round of the tenements, from ceilar to garret. (It may be weil enough to mention here that sor @ month past our funds have not enabled us to visit anv family, and | have not even suiticed to provide for applicants at, the doors of the Guild.) ‘hese Visitors are pro- vided with printed orders, signed by the Master, for food, for physicians and medicines, 80 that in- stantiy, When found in distress, they are provided With joou, fire and medical attendance. When not in immediate distress they are turnished with printed directions for eailing at the office of the Guild, should they find themselves in need. In addition to this printed tickets are left with all the business men and residents ol the two wards containing the address, &c., ol the Guild, These tickets are to be given to street beggars and others, Who, upon application at the Guild ome, are at once visited at their homes, where, i! they are in distress, they are assisted, and, if impostors, are detected. Sixteen years’ experience has convinced me that | this is the most speedy, economical and effectual | way of affording reiiet to real distress, and it can Teadily be extended over the entire city. St. John’s Guild to pay, and as we buy our groceries at cost price, {from wholesale dealers the charitable can through us furnish them to the poor at one-haif the price the poor would have to pay were they jurnished with the money. Twice during the past year we have visited 8,000 families, and we have to-day over 1,000 :amilies, inciudin, 3,000 children, in absolute want. Every one o} these, by tue simple method of the Gut.d, would Teceive assistance within jorty-eight hours from the moment we have the alley to aid them. Very truly yours, ALVAH WISWALL, Master, Empty Buildings. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— There is in Bond street, near Broadway, a fine large unoccupied house going to ruin for want of @ tenant, Cowa it be had for a time it would accommodate 200 homeless starving mechanics or others who now wander the streets without a place to sleep in, There are plenty of houses in this city to be had for the asking until May. G. HASKINS, How to Help tne Destitute, To THe Epiror or THe HERALD:— 1 beg leave to offer the following suggestions:— First—That the residents of the respective wards shall at once hold meetings and subscrive a suMm- cient sum to rent, until say the 1st of April or May, a@ suMecient number of unoccupied houses and stock the Same with cots and blankets. The rent of these houses should not exceed $100 per month each. sSecond—That every family be notified of the or- | ganization, and requested to set apart each day as many meals as it can afford, saving trom their tables what ordinarily finds its way into trash barrels, and contributing the same wo said relief associations or dormitories. Third—That volunteers of both sexes be invited (in co-operation, it necessary, with the police of the ward and precinct) tospend an hour or two every day in discovering the honest poor and aifording reliet. ‘There 1s not & well-to-do family in New York, to say nothing of the country at large, which has not more or je»s of the cast-off clotuing of botn chil- dren and adults, and there are thousands who would gladly give the same if they knew at what convenient point to make the bestowal.

Tributes of Respect to His Memory from the Bench and Bar. ADJOURNMENT OF THE COURTS. Action of the New York Law Institute and the Board of Education, Nearly all the courts of the city adjourned yes- terday out of respect to the memory of the late James W. Gerard. Not alone his brilliant record ag a lawyer, but nis devotion to the cause of educa- tion and reform endeared him to the hearts of every one. We give below some of the tributary Speeches made to his memory inthe courta. As will be seep, they are all characterized by a depth of respect, a breadth of admiration and tenderness | of affection that show the high regard in which he was aeld while living and the all-pervading regret following his decease. Court of Oyer and Terminer. In this Court, Judge Brady on the bench, after some pressing motions had been aisposed of, ‘Dis- trict Attorney Phelps rose and addressed the Court, SPEECH OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, District Attorney Phelps said :— Thad intended to move for trial this morning, air, and am ready to proceed with the trial of Juhn H. Simmons. His counsel are in court, and I believe they also aro ready to proceed with the trial. But there are some events, itthe Court please, which challengé our natice and attention, and upon the occurrence of which we are compeiled, ug it were, to turn aside trom our ordin- ary avocation anc to contemplate the operations of a power above and beyond all ours that works its own ‘way on the development of its own will. Since the ad- journment of this Court, sir, we have all read with regret that death has removed trom this community a gentle- man who for years has occupied a most prominent and Most honored position among us; honored and Prominent alike th social and protessioual circles; 9 gen leman not only loved by all those with whom he was associated in iriendly companionship outside the walks of his dasly business, but who was admired in this aren: and whose laurels were won in the brilliant and taithra discharge of his protessional duties; one of that great race of advocates who seem to be passing away from our numbers. Mr. James W. Gerard was distinguished as an advocate at the Bar of this St, During the whole of a Jong and industrious protessienal lile he bore himself ‘Hike a lawyer and a gentleman 1 every contest in which he was engaged, and he won luurels which any one might be proud to win’ and wear, beside the very best represen- tatives ot the talent of this Bar; and although for some years he hasbeen wighdrawn by a-e and his own will trom the active dutids ot the profeasion, yet we all re- member hnn with affection and with respect, and we aro all pained to learn that death has at last removed him from our midst. I think, sir, you cannot fail to remem- ber—itis certainly trest! in’ iny memory—that the ver last social occasion of any public description in whic! your own honored, lamented and loved brother par- ticipated was at a Banquet given by the members of our projession to Mr. Gerard, who had retired trom the active pursuits of his profession. Jt was an occasion Jong to be remembered for the asvociations that cluster around it, for there were gathered the brightest and best ornaments of the New York Bar, so many of whom, alas! have preceded Mr. Gerard’ to his long home. But it was not only as an advocate a lawyer and ia man of eminent social ac: complishments that Mr. Gerard was distinguished, but itshould be remembered in this Court that he was man of large and humane impulses and heart; a man who saw no evil that he did not seek to remedy, and, while it may not be among the best known events of his life, or for which he Was most widely honored, yet itis one of the most precious legacies he leaves to his frionds—that to his etforts, more than to those of any other man perhaps, an attempt was made to provide way bv which the young and inexperienced in the ways of crime might be put in a way of retormation. His at- tention was daily enlied to the evil which is patent to all concerned in the administration ot justice, that the condemnation of a young boy caught in his first act of crime to the society and companion- ship of older and more burdened criminals is a condemnation, almost inevitable and irrevocable, to a life of crime, and he could not rest until he sought moans of alleviating that, and by his exertions maint the House of Retuge was founded, where young criml. nals might. be put under such influences that they might receive education and training which would, it possible, win them trom @ life of crime, to which they would bé | otherwise condemned, This is'but one of che inany sides of Mr. Gerard’s nature, in which he tdok a lively {n er- est in all that improved his : in all schemes of education, and the advancement and improve- Ment of the condition of the poor, suffering was ever ‘foremost, and for this his other virtues he will long be remembered in this commanity, where he has gone in and out so promi: , nenily for so many years. James W. Gerard’s name and. fame and face have been read and Known of all men‘ and in all publig places, and no man, perhaps, during his | professional and social life was better Known, and it is eminently fit and proper that we shoud recognize his great eminence and his many virtues and express great regretat his loss by adjournment ot this Court, SPEECH OF MR, FELLOWS, ‘ Mr. John R, Fellows seconded the motion, a8 fol- LOWS i— It seems appropriate that the motion of the learnea District Attorney should be secondea by the counsel who represents that case suggested by himself, and that was to have occupied the attention ot the Court this morning. ut tor an indisposition that affects the voice ot the gentleman with whom I have the honor to be associated, he would more worthily perform the duty. Trise, not fo supplement the remarks of the learned gentleman with any of my own. I cannot be- lieve that the tribute which this Court will pay to the memory of the illustrious lawyer who, has gone will be the sole tribute that the citizens of this community will content themselves with having paid. ‘The members of the protession who were proud to recognize him as a and a | brother im their ranks, and whose rauks were illumi- nated by him, will, at an appropriate time, meet to- gether tor the purpose of allowing those who were his familiar associates and companions, and who remember his triumphs at the Bar and the distinction he won, an opportunity of paying their iting eulogiums. Deferring to the remarks of those who will do tull justice to the genius und the kindly and gocial qualities aud high per- sonal worth and the professional distinction acquired by this gentleman now gone, in public and private lite, content myself with seconding the motlon of the District Attorney. SPEECH OF JUDGE BRADY. Judge Brady, who spoke with evident emotion, in granting the motion paid the following eloquent tribute to the deceased :— This motion Is very proper. Mr. Gerard was not onty a gentleman of large experience, but one who has won the warmesteulogies and highest encomiums from those in Ro way connected with him. I always regarded James W. Gerard as one of the greatest ornaments of our fession; and when @ man achieves a position like which is, in my Judgment, the highest that can be quired in any sphere of life, he is to be honored. on our profession as the noblest of all. Mr, Gerard one ot the most successful nisi lawyers of in any, other country, a m: jonored, of wit, humor and great cul- not only’ cultivated in the protession to e Was an ornament, bat in other It was Sir Matthew Hale, I think, who said that all the sparks ot all the other sclences were gathered in the eshes of the law, a saying that appiles in this in- stance. His love of the young was aisplayed in his es- tablishment of the House of Kefuge, or Place of Refuge as (twas called tn a humanitarian spirit, Cam incline to think that Was the germ 01 @ grand principle wich must some time or other prevail in this State, and that ought to prevail everywhere, and that is, to relieve the Young in thelr fst transerestion, 1 regrot that it Is not in my Dower in the course of my duties in this Court to discliarge every young man convicted of stealing, or of burglary even, “if t should be satisled trom investiga- tion that it was his first offence, and that he had pre- viously borne a good character: and, carrying out, that doctrine, Iam s U1 should be doing more justice to the people than by sending them. to State Prison, which | would probably make them criminals for lite. This love for the young, which displayed ftselr in the creation of | the House of Retuge, distinguished him through life. He showed it {n his care for the school system. He was young himself, He was humorous, boyish to the last, even on the festive occasions to Which Mr. Phelps Judes. On his retirement irom actaye life he was as boy. ish as at twenty years. I have no doubt thousands will mourn his loss who never spoke a word to him. The motion is granted. is or Superior Court—Trial Term—Part 2. On the opening of this Court, Judge Larremore presiding, the death of Mr. Gerard was‘announced, and thereupon Mr. Algernon Sullivan moved an adjournment of the Court. SPEECH OF MR. SULLIVAN. Mr. Sullivan said:— Ihave been anticipated in the discharge of a duty, which, at the request of some of my brother lawyers, t was about attempiing to discharge, in reierence to the same fact that the Court has announced. I presume there 18 no member of the Bur, however young he may de, who has not learned to regard Mr. Gerard's naino and tame as greatly contributing to the honor of the entire ‘profession, I remember on tore than ome occasion when some of the great lights of the Bar w removed by death in the days when Mr. Gerard was yet in the possession of is energy and when he still maniiested a lively inter est in aftairs in court, that it was always regarded as the appropriate thing that Mr, Gerard should have the fore- most piace in giving expression to the best and kindest sentiments of the surviving lawyers with regard to the memory of the dead. 1 have no donbt it is within the memory of Your Honor and of many of the gentlemen here whom 1 sew around me, that on such sivas he was in habit ‘of recalling personal reminiscences of the deceared. with whom he had 3 2 heen in competition at the Bar, and now there came from that great, welling, rich’ touutain of gener- osity in his nature "phrase ‘after phrase of the most beautiful tribute to the men of whom he cherished 80 fond a recollection. 1 have now distinctly in my Fecollection an instance In the history of our court pro- ceedings when in a striking manner Mr, Gerard illus- trated the magnanimity and kindness of his mature, Tt was upon an occasion when under a constitutional change the Common Pleas was radically reconstructed in respect to its judiciary and, the entire Bar assembled | in one of the rooms of that Court to take fitting acon. At that meeting the bright particular star, ina forensic way, you was Mr. Gerard. 1 shail never ‘forget epigram and silver-tongued words that fell from his lips in the trite ute he paid the worthy and | honorable man whose example he wished us, the younger members of the Bar, having retired from the active prolession of the law but & jew years, still took an active part in the public affairs of this city, He was conspicuous as a re- former always, asa ‘progressive man and asa philan- thropist. [ may’ venture to say that he was better known, @ children, the litte boys and girls of ork, than any other one man, I heard him once say that, Next to the rising sun each morning, Were Was Ro pleasure which touched him and moved him 80 deeply as that which he realized when he made his daily visit to the public schools, and when, as he opened the door at the opening, he could hear the children chanting their beautitul hymns, The noblest tribute that can be paid to Mr. Gerard fs that, in his entire professional faithful to the oath he took when he was admitted to the Bar.

I suppose we have tew men among us, ifany, who have been more interested in the cause of pun) cation than Mr. Gerard. He was also connected ‘with various other institutions in this city, The House ely indebted to him tor tts success. Thad | ‘fin a few months ago. in reference to an arucle which we wished him to prepare in connection With a memorial that was to be issued for a law institute, leavored to mduce him to prepare a preface, but hie said his health was of such a character as to absolutely forbid it, However he jotted down various reminiscences which, [ think, when the book is published, will be found of very great historical intercst and very pleasing to the roiession. 1 understand the other Courts have deemed it fit and proper at this time to cease their business and adjourn ior the day, and I respectfully move that this Court do now adjourn. Mr, Henry M. Morrison seconded the motion ina few feeling remarks. Judge Curtis, in granting the motion, said:— I consider it »ppropriate that the Court should pay a tribute of respect to the memory of Mr. Gerard. We all Know that this was the scene his professional triumphs, He prooably has tried more causes be- | fore a jury, in this Court, than any other, member of the profession has done.’ We shail smiles, his wit, bi seeumngly car Upon trial of causes 40 successtully, ost ot us had the pleasure of meeting him when he made, to 2, WAS. compliment ‘thenceforward he should devote to his school children, and he did 80. Notwithstanding his numerous —_protessfonal engagements for the last thirty years he has found tine, alinost every day in the week, to look in at some one of the public schoola, He has delivered lectures and ad- dresses innumerable. He has always been @ constant, persevering iriend of the cause of paviic education int his city, No man has labored more faithtully and more successtwily in its behalf, Hunareds ot teachers in their discouragements and_ their fatigues have goue to him for consolation and comfort, and thousands and tens of thousands listened = ap- Preciatingly to his words ood ndvice, nd receivea from him lessons of future | uae> fulness, In all the difficulties which bave beset the system from time to tune, in all the conflicts that it has had with its opponents, he has been ever ready in counsel an{ in ucuon, I recollect one of the Jast addresses he made in public, at Steinway Hall, in detence of the pubac school system ot this city, which ‘Was one of the most elojuent, one of the most touching, and one of the most eti-cuve, appeals Lever listened If education, like theol gy, had its canonists, Mr. Gerard. Would be its St. Vincent de Paul. But he has gone trom us. We shall see him no more. That great kind heart has ceased to beat, and he has gone to join the lengthy procession of the leaders ot our protession that respond to the inevitable summons.

Daly on the Bench, Mr. Wesiey S. Gard moved the adjournment of the Court. SPEECH OF MB, WESLEY S, GARD. Mr. Gard said :— ‘The New York Bar have heard with the deepest recret of the death of James W. Gerard, who was weil termed | the Nestor of the bar of New York. Those who knew him | learned to love and respect him. He was one who wag peculiarly autentive to young people, and fur that reason 1s name Was revered in the public schools ot New York. Lhave been Jor several years connected with the public schools of this city, and I learned to Know that whenever | the name of Mr. Gerard was mentioned it was only out | of respect and admiration for his name. As a lawyer suppose he had no superior at the Bar of New York or of | the country. He retired trom active practice some years since, and on.his retirement the Bar ot New York’ paid him that respect which was due to a man of his signal ability. Outof respect to hs memory I move that the Court now adjourn. Mr. J. W. Brown said—I simply rise to second the motion. An opportunity will hereafter be of~ fered to express our regret at the loss of our friend, Judge Daly—Out of respect to the memory of Mr. Girard I will grant the motion and adjourn the Court till to-morrow morning. Marine Court—Part 1. After the calling of the calendar in this Court,” Judge Shea on the bench, and the disposal of some preliminary business, Mr. Theo, F. Hascall roae and, in moving that the Court adjourn, out of re spect to the memory of James W. Gerard, paid a | feeling tribute to the memory and many virtues of the deceased, alluding to him as one who, espe- clally by his example to the younger members of the profession, “though dead, yet speaketh.” The motion was seconded by Mr. Christophers. Chief Justice Shea, in granting the motion and ordering @minute to be made of it, said:—Tnls coming spring will have completed thirty-one years since made his acquaintance. I remember very well instances such as are re'erred to of that unre- Btrainable geniality of disposition which made him friendly with ail, especialiy with the young aud inexperienced members of the bar. Mr, Gerard be- longed to @ class of lawyers now fast fading away, if indeed, he was not the last of his ecullar class. He was not one of those improvised lawyers who have occupied without filliug post- tions at the bar aince the Code has made the pro- fession so accessible. His life was one of un- deviating rectitude. I have never heard a word spoken against him, and do not believe that thera Was a thought ever entertained that if expressed could be construed to be detrimental. At a time when among all classes of society, and espectally in public life, examples are needed, the loss of such @ man must be deeply (elt. He had, indeed, retired from active practice, bu¢ when sucu men retire trom the activities of life they do not with- draw the lesson which they teach us, and let us | hope that what has been in his case a Bing and useful example may, now that be 18 gone, be an efficacious and pious memory. In Other Courts, In Supreme Court, Special Term, Messrs. H. H. Anderson and W. J. A. Buller made speeches highly eulogistic of the deceased, In Superior Court, General Term, ex-Judge Jones moved the adjourn ment in a most feeling and eloquent speech.
