to reflect, now that the passions engendered by the war have passed away. At that time Sidney Bartlett, the eminent Boston lawyer, was the only person in Washington who agreed with Judge Daly on this important question of international law.
" The decisions rendered by Judge Daly during his long service in the Court of Common Pleas have been of a nature to reflect credit upon the court and himself. They have not only been written in the purest of English, so that they stand as worthy examples of American legal literature, but they show a vast amount of study and research, and information on special sub- jects, which testify to the care and labor which has been be- stowed upon them, The Judge has found time in the midst of his arduous duties on the Bench to attend to many other things. In 1860 Columbia College conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. In 1867 he was elected a member of the State Constitutional Convention, and did valuable work on the Judiciary Committee, and on the Committee on the Submission of the Constitution. He has been the President of the Geographical Society for twenty- two years, and is an honorary member of the Royal Geographical Society of London, the Berlin Geographical Society, and the Im- perial Geographical Society of Russia. He is almost as well known and as highly esteemed in Europe as in his native land. Alexander von Humboldt, to whom in 1851 he brought a letter of introduction from Chevalier Bunsen, then and for many years the Prussian Minister to England, said of him: 'Few men have left upon me such an impression.'"
The letters of Humboldt, to which reference is made both in the address of Mr. William Allen Butler and in the article from the New York Times, from which an extract has just been given, are from " Briefe Von Alexander von Humboldt and Christian Carl Josias. Freiherr Von Bunsen, Leipzig (F. A. Brockhaus), 1869."
Extract from Letter of July 18th, 1851.
" I cannot close these hurried lines without thanking you, from the bottom of my heart, for the acquaintance I made with Judge Charles Daly, from New York, who, upon his return from Italy, about a week ago, passed through here (Potsdam) and gave me almost a whole day of his time. All that you communicated to
243
me about him, I have found confirmed in a much higher degree. Few men leave behind them such an impression of high intellect upon the great subjects that influence the march of civilization ; in estimating the apparently opposite direction of character of those nations which surround the ever-narrowing basin of the Atlantic. Moreover, what is uncommon in a North American, and still more uncommon in the practical life of a greatly occu- pied magistrate, is that this highly intelligent and upright man has a deep and lively interest in the fine arts, and even in poetry. In my conversation with him about slavery, Mormonism and Canadian feudalism, I have directed his attention upon those questions which are especially interesting to me, particularly whether there is anything to be looked for with respect to the literature of a people, the noblest productions of whose literature have had their roots in another country."
Extract from Letter dated Potsdam, September 28th, 1851.
" Among the best men whose acquaintance I owe to you, I esteem Judge Daly, of the great State of New York, with whom I have had the opportunity of enjoying such important conversa- tions."
THE HONORABLE WILLIAM INGLIS.
Since the writing and publication of the sketch of Judge Inglis, the following facts concerning his life have been definitely ascer- tained :
He was born December 27, 1804, and died May 29, 1863, in the 59th year of his age, and was buried in Trinity Cemetery, at 155th Street, in the City of New York.
He was the son of John Inglis, who was born in Scotland, March 26, 1763, and died December 6, 1848, aged 85 years. The family resided many years at Hoboken or Jersey City.
Judge Inglis was never married. His only surviving relative was a sister, Miss Margaret Inglis, who is still (1896) living in the City of New York.

FINAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
A TRIBUTE TO THE COMMON PLEAS.
Extract from the New York Tribune (editorial), Dec. 27, 1895.
" The ancient Court of Common Pleas will not pass out of exist- ence without a suitable commemoration of its past. With the close of the year the Common Pleas and the Superior Courts will be merged in the Supreme Court. It is fitting that suitable recog- nition of the honorable and distinguished part that the older of these Courts has played in the jurisprudence of this city and this community should be given. Arrangements have been made with this object in view for a meeting in the General Term room of the Common Pleas Court on next Monday afternoon. The idea of holding such a meeting originated among members of the bar, and, of course, lawyers will be the chief participants in the celebration. But the event itself and the judicial history, the memory of which it is intended to revive and perpetuate, are of great interest to all the people of the city.
" It is natural that Chief Judge Daly* should be the central figure of the occasion. For twenty-five years successively he has sat upon the bench, and for the last five as the Chief Judge of the Court. Not only has he won the respect of lawyers and laymen by his industrious devotion to his duties, the high order of his judicial work and his unswerving integrity, but it might be said without exaggeration that a large part of the bar of the city enter- tains for him a kind of personal regard that is as unusual as it is creditable to the object of it. At the meeting to be held on Mon- day this feeling is likely to find expression in a variety of ways, not least interesting of which will be the presentation to the Chief Judge of the ivory gavel last used by him in Court, elaborately mounted in gold and appropriately inscribed.
" The exercises will also illustrate the close connection between this Court and the other local Courts. The Common Pleas has exercised certain jurisdiction and functions in probate cases in common with the Surrogate's Court. It has been the appeal
*Hon. Joseph F. Daly.

Court for the civil District Courts and the City Courts. Its Judges have been ex-officio members of the General Sessions. Judicial representatives of all these tribunals will be heard at the meeting. Sons of its deceased Judges will be among the officers, and emi- nent lawyers will speak for the bar itself. The consolidation of the Courts under the new Constitution and the resulting abolition of the Common Pleas are generally recognized as necessary judicial reforms. But this meeting and its exercises will furnish the strongest evidence of the high place which the Common Pleas Court and its Judges deserve to hold in popular esteem for the part they have played in the development and advancement of this community."
