9. HARRY BINGHAM, son of Warner 8, b. in Concord, Vt., March 30, 1821. unm. He was educated in the common schools of Concord, Vt .. and fitted for Coll. in Lyndon, Vt., Academy. He grad. from Dart. Coll. and commenced the study of law with Hon. Harry Hibbard, in Bath, in 1843. Dart. Coll. gave him the degree of LL.D. in 1880. He was admitted to the Bar in Lancaster in 1846, and at once commenced the practice of law in L., where he has since res. The law firms he has been a member of are HI. & G. A. Bingham, 1852 to 1859 : Woods & Binghams, 1859 to 1862 ; H. & G. A. Bingham, 1862 to 1870 : Bing- ham & Mitchell. 1874 to 1879 ; Bingham, Mitchell (J. M.) & Batch- ellor, July 1, 1879, to July 1, 1882 ; Bingham, Mitchells. & Batchellor (J. M. M., A. S. B., and W. H. M.), July 1, 1882, to Jan. 1, 1885. Bingham, Mitchell. & Batchellor (H. B., A. S. B., and W. H. M.). Jan. 1, 1885. In 1881, upon the removal of J. M. Mitchell to Concord. the firm of Bingham & Mitchell (J. M. M.) was established at that place, and both firms have been continued from the dates above named to the present time, although Mr. Bingham has been less active in his law busi- ness in his later years, having given his time and attention more and more largely to recreation, travel, and literature. In his legislative service, covering a longer number of terms than any of his contemporaries in this State, he often participated in debate with carefully prepared arguments, and not unfrequently contributed formal reports, embodying the results of careful research and reasoning. These may be consulted in official and newspaper reports of the Legislatures. Mr. Bingham's briefs in cases argued in the law terms of the Supreme Court are contained in every volume of the N. H. Reports from the twentieth - fifty vol- umes - published and unpublished. Many of his legal arguments have been published in full in newspapers and pamphlets. His ad- dresses and essays on more general topics are numerous, some of the more important titles being : "A Fourth of July Address," 1853, " Ammonoosuc Reporter;" " Addresses as Prest. of Democratic State Conventions," Jan. 5, 1870, Sept. 11, 1872, Jan. 9. 1878, May 20, 1896 : "The Great Black Republican Bear Fight," " White Mountain Re- public," Dec. 3, 1869; "Centennial Address," L., July 4, 1876 ; " Memorial Day Address," L., May, 1880; "Andrew S.

don, Dauville, Concord, Waterford, and St. Johnsbury, Vt. He com- menced the study of law in Feb. 1849, with Hon. Thomas Bartlett, Jr., of Lyndon, Vt., and was admitted to the Bar in Danville, Vt., Dec. 1, 1848. For a short time he was in Burlington, Iowa, then returned to Lyndon, Vt., in June, 1849, and remained three years, the first two as a member of the firm of Bartlett & Bingham, the other the firm was Bartlett, Bingham, & Roberts. In July, 1852, he came to L., where he has since res., except three years in Bath, and formed a partnership with his brother Harry, under the firm name of H. & G. A. Bingham, which continued until 1859, when Andrew S. and Edward Woods (See) joined the firm, and it became Woods & Binghams. This firm con- tinned until 1862, Andrew S. Woods and George A. Bingham, res. in Bath, and the other two in L. In 1862 the partnership expired, and the firm of H. & G. A. Bingham was re-established, and continued until 1870 ; both, however, occupied the same offices until 1874. From 1874 until July 26, 1876, he had no partner, but A. S. Batchellor was associated with him, first, as a law student, and after March, 1875, as an attorney and assistant in his employ. He was then appointed Asso- ciate Justice of the Supreme Court, which position he held until Oct. 1, 1880, when he resigned, and Jan. 1, 1881, formed a partnership with Edgar Aldrich (See), which continued until May 1, 1882, when Daniel - C. Remich (See) became a member of the firm of Bingham, Aldrich, & Remich, which terminated Dec. 26, 1884, when he was reappointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. March 17, 1891, he again resigned, and formed a partnership with his son, George Hutchins Bingham, under the firm name of Bingham & Bingham, which continued until he d. Jan. 22, 1895.

Va., June 22, 1842, dau. of U. S. Senator Allen T. Caperton, and widow of Judge James F. Patton. He was educated at the public schools, at Peacham, Vt, Academy, and at Marietta, Ohio, College, but did not graduate. He read for his profession with Judge Joseph Miller at Chilicothe, Ohio, with his brother Harry Binghamn at Littleton from May, 1848, to Sept. 1849. He returned to Ohio and studied with Judge Miller until he was admitted to the Bar in Georgetown, Ohio, May 21, 1850. Immediately he opened a law office at McArthur, the county- seat of the then new county of Vinton, where he remained in an active and successful practice eleven years. During a portion of this period he was a member of the law firms of Hewett & Bingham
and Bingham & Hamilton. In November of the first year of his practice a vacancy occurred in the office of Prosecuting Attorney, and he was complimented with the appointment, and was re-elected in 1851 and 1853. He represented Vinton and Jackson Counties in the House of Representatives (Democrat), 1856, 1857, and refused a re- election. In 1858 he was a candidate on the Democratic ticket for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the Judicial District, and with the remainder of the ticket he was defeated. He was a delegate from the Eleventh Congressional District to the memorable Democratic National Convention of 1860, held at Charleston, S. C., and by ad- journment at Baltimore, Md. The activity of the young lawyer surpassed the growth of the new county in which he labored. He sought a more extended field for the practice of his profession. In 1861 he removed to Columbus, Ohio. From 1863 to 1868 he was a member of the Board of Education of Columbus, and from 1867 to 1871 the Solicitor of the city. In 1868 he was an efficient chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, and was again a delegate to the Democratic National Convention at St. Louis in 1876. In his pro- fessional labors at Columbus he was successively a member of the law firms of Bingham & Hewett, Wilson & Bingham, Bingham & McGuffy, and Bingham & Smith. These were years of professional activity and reward, and his promotion to the bench was not long deferred. In April, 1873, he was elected without opposition Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the Fifth Judicial District, and by re-election was continued on the bench of that conrt until 1887, when he was appointed by President Cleveland Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, which position he holds at the present time. His published works of greater moment. are his opinions appearing in the Reports of the court over which he presides.
