CHAPTER LXXXVIL.
BENCH AND BAR.
AT the first courts held in this county, Daniel Mestayer, Edward Rose, and Robert Hartshorne were the first attorneys. In May, 1752, John Law- rence first appeared as an attorney, and did a large share of the business after that. At December term. 1754, James Kin-ey and George Trenehard were ad- mitted as attorneys. They both resided at Salem. In 1759, Augustine Moore presented his license to prac- tire law, but does not seem to have done much husi- uess. Jasper Smith presented his license in 1763. Samuel Allinson, together with Treuchard and Law- rence, were the principal attorneys from 1765 to the Revolution. John Carey and James Borman ap- prared in 1772 and 1773. At February term, 1,75.

Enoch Green, pastor of the Presbyterian Church there, who also taught a classical school for a number of years.

Biographical Notices .- The first four and the sixth and seventh of the following notiers are taken in most part from Judge Elmer's " Reminiscences of the Bench and Bar," but items obtained from other sources have been added to them.
Two months later the battle of Lexington took place, and the drilling of troops and preparations for the heroic contest which that battle inaugurated be- came the principal business with every Whig. Mr. Bloomfield was an ardent patriot, and began his mili- tary career as a sergeant of a company of militia, or- ganized in the western part of the county, May 3, 1775. On the election of field-officers of the Cuu- berland militia, June 13th of that year, he was chosen adjutant, and ou October 9th was chosen first lieuten- ant of another company of militia.
He was appointed Feb. 7, 1776, as captain in the : Third Battalion of troops raised for the Continental army in this State, and a company of sixty-five men was recruited in this county, with himself as captain ; Constant l'eck, first lieutenant ; William Gifford, sec- ond lieutenant ; and Ebenezer Elmer, ensign. This company left Bridgeton March 27, 1776, and did good service during the year of their enlistment, an account of which, from the journal of Ebenezer Elmer, will be elsewhere found in this volume. Capt. Bloom- field was promoted major of the Third Battalion Nov. 28, 1776, and was also appointed judge-advocate of the Northern army during the same month. Hle con- tinued in the army until Oct. 28, 1778, when he re- signed, having been elected clerk of the Assembly of this State on the preceding day. He was wounded during his term of service, but at what time is now - unknown. Lieut. Eliner in his journal entered his opinion of the officers in the command, and of him says, "Capt. Bloomfield, active, unsteady, fond of show, and a great admirer of his own abilities ; quick passions, but easily pacified,"-probably a pretty cor- rect statement of the points of his character.
Shortly after he resigned from the army he married a lady in Barlington, where he took up his residence,

and resided there during the remainder of his life, being mayor of the city several years.
Previous to the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, which vested all admiralty jurisdiction in the United States Courts, this State passed an act Oct. 5, 1776, establishing a State Court of Admiralty, and Mr. Bloomfield was appointed register of the court, and held the office until 1783. In that year, upon the resignation of William Patterson, he was appointed by the joint meeting attorney-general of the State, and re-elected in 1788, but resigned the office in 1792. In that year he was elected by the Legislature one of the Presidential electors. lle was also a general of the militia of the State, and com- manded a brigade of militia which took part in sup- pressing the Whiskey Insurrection in Western Penn- sylvania in 1794.
Ile was an earnest supporter of the administration of Washington, but when, under the administration of John Adams and the leadership of Alexander Hamilton, the Federal party developed those pro- scriptive principles which were exemplified in the alien and sedition laws, he became a supporter of the Republican party of that day, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, and was one of the foremost in this State in the great political and social conflict. The joint meeting held October 31st clected Mr. Bloomfield Governor.
In October, 1803, the Democrats again had a ma- jority, and Mr. Bloomfield was re-elected Governor, and continued to be re-elected annually until 1812. As Governor he was also chancellor, but the business of that court was not large in his time, and no cases decided by him are reported.
In the war of 1812 he was appointed a brigadier- general by President Madison, and commanded a brigade stationed at Sackett's Harbor, N. Y., and a part of his brigade, under command of Gen. Pike, crossed into Canada and made an attack on Fort George, but were unsuccessful, Gen. Pike being killed by the explosion of the magazine. Hle afterwards was in command. of the military district whose head- quarters was at Philadelphia, and remained in service until the close of the war in ISI5.
In the fall of 1816, Gen. Bloomfield was elected to Congress on a general ticket by the Democrats, and re-elected in ISIS. He was chairman of the Com- mittee on Revolutionary Claims, and introduced the bill granting pensions to the survivors of that strug- gle and to the surviving widows of those doccased.
After he settled at Burlington, he was a member of and president of the "New Jersey Society for the Abolition of Slavery," a society whose efforts were confined to legal methods of ameliorating the con- dition of the slaves, and the cultivation of a public sentiment in favor of its abolition. He was elected! a trustee of Princeton College in 1783, but resigned when he was elected Governor, and in 1819 was again elected, and held the position until hi- death.

Mr. Bloomfieldl married Miss Mary Mellvaine daughter of Dr. William Mellvaine, of Burlington, soon after he resigned his position in the army in ih. Revolution, which probably occasioned his locating at that place. They had no children, and she died in 1818. He afterwards married a second wife, who ? er- vived him. He died at burlington, Oct. 3, 1828, an ] on his tomb is inscribed. " A soldier of the Revolu- tion ; late Governor of New Jersey ; a General in the Army of the United States ; he closed a life of proir- ity, benevolence, and public service, in the seventieth year of his age."
RICHARD HOWELL WAS the son of Ebenezer and Sarah (Bond) Howell, and was born Oct. 25, 1751, at Newark, Del. His parents removed to the neighbor- hood of Shiloh, in this county, during his youth. He was educated at Newark, together with his twin- brother, Lewis, and came to this county a few years previous to the Revolution. He was one of the party who burned the tea at Greenwich on the night of Der 22, 1774, and, with several others, was sued for dam- ages, but the case was never tried, owing to the break- ing out of active hostilities. His brother Lawis studied medicine with Dr. Jonathan Elmier, but Richard studied law.
Nov. 29, 1775, he was appointed captain of a com- pany of soldiers raised in this county, who marche! from here on the night of December 13th. He was appointed brigade major Sept. 1, 1776, and on the re- organization of the New Jersey troops was appointed major Nov. 28, 1776. In the following winter he wa- major of the Second Regiment, commanded by Coi. Shrieve, and his brother Lewis was surgeon of the same regiment, and Ebenezer Elmer surgeon's mate. Maxwell's brigade, to which the regiment belonged, took an active part at the battle of Brandywine, and Lewis was taken prisoner, but escaped. On the retreat of the British through New Jersey, Lewis was taken with a fever, and died on the day of the battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778, near that place. Major Howell resigned his commission April 7, 1779.
lle was licensed as an attorney at April term, 1779. and presented his license to the courts of this county at September terin of that year. He resided here ser- eral years, and did considerable business in the cour ?- of this and Salem Counties. He removed to Trenton -. between 1783 and 1788, and on September 4th of the 1 latter year was elected clerk of the Supreme Court by the joint meeting. In 1793 he succeeded Governor Paterson as Governor and Chancellor of the State, and was re-elected every year until 1801, when the Federalista, to which party he belonged, were de- feated, and he was succeeded by Joseph Bloomfield. who had preceded him as the first resident attorney in Cumberland, and who followed him into active service in the Revolution as captain of the second company of troops raised in this county. While Governor he commanded the militia of the State called out to assist in seppressing the Whiskey In-

Seeley, who commanded a battalion of State troops , which remained until he was disabled by disease.
ELIAS P. SEELEY was the son of Ebenezer and Mary (Clark ) Seeley, and was born in Fairfield town- ship, Nov. 10, 1791. Ile was a grandson of Col. Enos from this county in the Revolution. His father, Ebenezer, removed to Bridgeton when he was a child, and represented this county in the Assembly and Council many years, and was clerk of the county for nineteen years, from 1814 to 1833. The son, Elias P., studied law with Daniel Elmer, and was admitted to the bar in May, 1815. Ile opened an office in Bridgeton, and soon established a good practice, and was very popular among the people of this county. Ile was elected a member of the Assembly in 1826, 1827, and 1828. In 1829 he was elected to the Coun- eil, and re-elected in 1830. 1831, and 1832. In the latter two years he was elected vice-president of the Council. On the election of Governor Sonthard as ; United States senator he was elected by joint meet- ing, Feb. 27, 1833, Governor of the State, and served until Oct. 25, 1833, when he was succeeded by Gov- ernor l'eter D. Vroom.
While Chancellor, which office he occupied by virtue of being Governor, he delivered several opinions on cases argued before him. By virtue of his office he was also the pre-iding officer of the Court of Appeals, which, by the Constitution of 1776, was composed of the Governor and Council.
In 1836 Governor Seeley was again elected to the Assembly by his fellow-citizens of this county. He , of a uniformed company of militia, and afterwards married, March 6, 1816, Jane B. Champneys, daugh- , rose through the various grades until he became gen- ter of Dr. Benjamin Champneys, and had two chil- eral of the Cumberland Brigade, by which title he was generally addressed. dren,-Elias P., Jr., and Rebecca. The latter mar- ried Henry T. Ellet, who practiced law in this place Upon the resignation of Judge Dayton, in 1841, Daniel Elmer was appointed by the joint meeting a justice of the Supreme Court. He accepted the ap- pointment. about four years, and then removed to Port Gibson, Miss., where he has since been a member of Congress and one of the judges of the Supreme Court of that State, and upon the organization of the Confederate States government at the breaking out of the rebel- lion, he was appointed by Jefferson Davis a member of his cabinet, but declined the position from personal considerations.
Governor Seeley did a large business as an attorney, mostly confined to his own county, and as a convey- ancer his services were in greater demand than those of any of his contemporaries.

DANIEL ELMEE, who was born at Cedarville, Sept.
30, 1784, was the fifth Daniel in regular lineal descent from the Rev. Daniel Elmer, who was settled as pastor of the oldl Cohansey Presbyterian Church in 1723, and died in 1775, leaving several children, the de- scendants of whom, now a numerous body. still reside in South Jersey. Daniel's father, himself a young man, and with but little property, dying when the son was only eight years old, he was left to the care of Dr. Ebenezer Elmer, his great-uncle, with whom he lived for several years, and obtained only a com- mon school education. From his earliest years he exhibited those traits of unceasing activity and energy
About the year 1800 he began to study law with Gen. Giles, of Bridgeton, and served as a regular clerk with him for the five years then required of a ; student who was not a graduate of some college.
He was licensed as an attorney in November, 1805, and at first had serious thoughts of commencing busi- ness in some other locality ; but this purpose he soon relinquished, and opened an office in Bridgeton. He was licensed as a counselor in ISO8, and called to the degree of sergeant-at-law in 1828. He married Martha E. Potter, daughter of Col. David Potter, March 9, 1808. They had several children, all of whom died in infancy or early youth except two.
The removal of John Moore White gave him the opportunity of acquiring an extensive and Inerative practice. llis early education had been meagre, and during his clerkship he had no time for systematie study. Iliz knowledge of law, which became, how- ever, quite extensive, and, so far as it went, very ac- curate, was mainly acquired, as has been the case with many other very successful lawyers, by a careful study of the cases he was called upon to undertake in his practice. A large part of his business was the collection of debts.
During the war with Great Britain he was captain
Judge Elmer was a member of the convention that formed the new Constitution, in 1814. At the death of Gen. Giles, in 1825, he was elected president of the Cumberland Bank, and held the position until his ap- pointment to the Supreme Court, in 18.11. He was ap- pointed, in 1838, by the board of chosen frerholders of the county, to the responsible position of agent to manage and invest the surplus revenue apportioned to this county, amounting to the sum of thirty thou- sand dollars, which office of trust he held until 1842, when he resigned, and his son, Charle, E. Elmer, wa- appointed in his place. In the winter of 1844, after le had sat in the Constitutional Convention, he had a

slight apoplectic attack, which so disabled him as to make it necessary for him to resign, which he did in January, 1845. He never recovered, and died July 3, 1548. Some years before his death he became a member of the Presbyterian Church, and died in its communion.
JOHN MOORE Wurre was born in Bridgeton in the year 1770. He studied law with JJoseph Bloom- field, and was admitted as an attorney in September, 1791, as a counselor in 1729, and as sergeant in 1812. Taking up his residence in Bridgeton, he married a Mi-> Zantzinger, and entered upon the practice of his profession. He enjoyed remarkable health all his life, but became blind towards its close. In ISUS he removed to Woodbury, where he continued to re- side during the remainder of his life.
Mr. White was justly considered an able advocate in the trial of cases involving questions of boundary, but was never ranked, however, among the able law- vers of the State. He prosecuted the pleas of the State for several years in the counties of Cumber- land and Salem, by virtue of a deputation from the attorney-general. He was a Federalist, and repre- sented the county of Gloucester several times in the Legislature. In the year 1835 he was appointed attorney-general of the State, Holding the office the constitutional terin of five years. In 1838, MIr. White was elected a justice of the Supreme Court, the number of julges being now ineressed to tive. He did not make a very satisfactory judge, although his honesty and sound judgment were never ques- tioned. After the expiration of his office, then sev- enty five years of age, he lived very much in retire- ment during the remainder of his life, which was protracted to the year 1862, when he died, at the age of ninety-one.
LUCIUS QUINTUS CINCINNATUS ELMIER was the only son of Gen. Ebenezer and Hannah (Seeley) Elner, and was born in Bridgeton, Feb. 3, 1793. As a lad he attended a school at Woodbury, taught by Rev. Mr. Picton, in the winter of 1893, and in the fall and winter of 1804-5 at the academy of Rev. Dr. Burgiss Allison, at Bordentown, and after that at the old academy on Bank Street, in Bridgeton. He also attended, in Philadelphia, the classes of Dr. l'atter- son, a professor in the University of Pennsylvania, after he had commeneed to read law with Daniel Eliner, Esq., afterwards a judge of the Supreme Court of this State. He was admitted to the bar in May, 1815, and at once began his legal career in his native place, and soon acquired a large practice. As a law- yer, he was indu-trions and painstaking, preparing his cases with great care and with deep research into the underlying principles of the law. He was well versed in and thoroughly indoctrinated with the common law, for which he had the most profound regard.
Upon his admission to the bar he at once interested himself in politics, and was a member of the Demo-
cratie party, as was also his father, although Gen. Ebenezer's brothers and nearly all others of the fani- ily name were Federalists. He was elected clerk of the board of frechohlers in May, 1816, and a men- ber of the Assembly in 1820, '21, '22, and '23, and in the latter year was Speaker of the House. Politics becoming somewhat distasteful to him, he retired from active participation in them, and devoted himself more assiduously to his profession, and his subsequent positions were mostly in the line of that profession. After the passage of the law for the appointment of prosecutors of the pleas by the joint meeting, he was the first appointment for this and Cape May Counties, on Oct. 29, 1824, and was reappointed Oct. 30, 1829, and served with marked ability until Oct. 31. 1834. In 1824 le was appointed United States listrict at- torney for New Jersey, and filled the office in an ac- ceptable manner until 1829. He was one of the three commissioners appointed in 1833 on behalf of New Jersey to meet a like commission from New York to settle the territorial limits and jurisdiction of the two States, which duty was acceptably performed. and the agreement made by them, dated Sept. 16, 1833, was ratified by the Legislatures of the two States in Feb- ruary, 1834, and approved by Congress in the follow- ing June.
He published a " Digest of the Laws of New Jer- sey" in 1838, in which the topics were arranged alphabetically, which proved so convenient that it soon displaced all other compilations of the laws of this State. Subsequent editions were issued in 1855, 1858, 1861, and 1868, under the name of Nixon's Digest. Mr. Elmer having been appointed an asso- ciate justice of the Supreme Court, it was issued under the name of his son-in-law, John T. Nixon, E-q It continued the standard compilation of this State until after the general revision of the laws by the Legisla- ture in 1874 and 1875.
