WILLIAM TILGHMAN, son of the Councillor, was b. at Fausley Aug. 12, 1756. When about seven years old, the family residing in Philadelphia, he was placed at the Academy, an adjunct of the College. Here he remained until his fourteenth year, receiving instruction in the classics, which ever remained his delight, and in which he was after- wards as good a scholar as the bench or bar of Philadelphia afforded. Mr. Beveridge, Mr. Wallis, and Dr. Davidson, the author of the grammar, were successively the tutors of these branches to whom the boys of the institution were committed. Duly prepared, he went to College, i. e. entered in 1769 the upper department of the school. He left before graduation ; but such was his devotion to literature that he continued for some time to read Latin and Greek authors with the benefit of Dr. Francis Alison's prelections. In February, 1772, he began the study of law in the office of Benjamin Chew, grounding him- self in that venerable, intricate, yet beautifully reasoned lex non scripta which under the name of the Common Law of England is the main part of our jurisprudence. And this he learned, not from the popular treatise of Blackstone, but the dry reports of Plowden, and the pon- derous tomes of Coke. Tilghman remained in Chew's office until De- cember, 1776, when he removed to Maryland. During the remainder of the Revolutionary war, he lived in quiet study, part of the time on his father's estate, and part with his father at Chestertown, reading deeply and laboriously, and applying his intervals of leisure to the edu- cation of a younger brother. In the Spring of 1783, after what may be called an apprenticeship of eleven years, a near approach to the viginti annorum lucubrationes of ancient times, Tilghman was admitted to prac- tice in Maryland. In 1788 and for some years after, he was a member of the Legislature of that State, and took an active part in procuring the adoption of the Federal Constitution. In 1793, a few months before

his marriage, he returned to Philadelphia, and commenced practising there, at the seat of the National Government, surrounded by eminent men from all parts of the country. From Horace Binney's eulogium upon him, whence we draw the facts for this sketch, we learn that " his law arguments were remarkable for the distinctness with which he presented his case, and the perspicuity and accuracy with which his legal references were made to sustain it. He was concise, simple, occa- sionally nervous, and uniformly faithful to the Court as he was to the client : But the force of his intellect resided in his judgment; and even higher faculties than his as an advocate, would have been thrown comparatively into the shade, by the more striking light which sur- rounded his path as a judge."
Tilghman's first judicial office was Chief Judge of the U. S. Circuit Court for the circuit including Pennsylvania, to which he was ap- pointed March 3, 1801, by President Adams, but which he very soon lost, by the abolition of the court about a year after the act was passed creating it. On July 31, 1805, he was appointed President of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, and on the 25th of February following, was raised to the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. In this position for twenty-one years, he is, if we except perhaps Chief Justice Gibson, the central figure of our judicial history : and " the contents of twenty volumes of reports and upwards of two thousand judgments, most of them elaborate, all of them suffi- ciently reasoned, very few upon matters of practice or on points of fugitive interest, attest the devotion of his judicial life." In the first ten years, he delivered an opinion in every case but five, the arguments in four of which he was prevented from hearing by sickness, and in one by domestic affliction, and in more than two hundred and fifty cases, he either pronounced the judgment of the court, or his brethren concurred in his opinions without a comment. Mr. Binney has pointed out the chief characteristics of the opinions he delivered-his venera- tion for law and above all the Common Law and his dread of judicial legislation, his sparing quotation of authorities and his disregard of mere dicta and care that none should fall from his lips, his simple yet perspicuous language, and his statement of a legal principle not as the regula of an abstruse science, but as the embodiment of common sense. It may be added that few judges have taken more interest in our judi- cial history, or laid as much stress upon the common understanding of the Bar, or taken as much pains to ascertain the views of former prac- titioners. Connected, too, by ties of blood or affinity with the most

Tilghman.
prominent persons of earlier days, and in fact himself particularly noticeable as the last man in high office in Pennsylvania who belonged to one of the families of our old Provincial aristocracy, he cherished our local traditions.
In his time, and he being, in the words of Mr. Binney, "the pre- siding spirit of their consultations as he was of their court," great and fundamental differences between the common law of Pennsylvania and the common law and early statutes of England, were declared by our judges : and doctrines of modern growth in England, or in earlier times arising out of a different state of society, were in many cases refused adoption ; and Pennsylvania law had stamped upon it features peculiar to itself. It may also be said that in no other state in the Union is the feudal system so much considered. The great lawyer whom we are quoting so freely has named Tilghman's greatest services to our jurisprudence. He gave to the Statutes of Limitations in actions on contract a beneficial interpretation : he declared the beds of navigable rivers the property of the Commonwealth ; he did for the Land Office system as a judge what his father did as an administrative officer to harmonize it with every other part of our code : he established the methodized science of Chancery justice among us, to be administered through the forms of Common Law procedure.
The chief production of his pen outside of his legal decisions given in Court was the Report of the Judges on the English Statutes in force in Pennsylvania. Tilghman had the highest sense of judicial decorum and the obligations of his office. Not a supercilious, osten- tatious, or ungentlemanly word ever escaped him on the bench. He once refused to take part in a meeting on the Missouri question ; be- cause, often obliged to decide in matters relating to slavery, he would do nothing to bring his impartiality into doubt. Yet he expressed a "fervent wish to see the evils of this institution mitigated, and, if possible, extinguished ;" and he freed his own slaves by a plan of gradual emancipation. This he had devised April 24, 1811, executing an instrument on that day freeing four of them at once, nine others in successive periods of from three to seven years, and the residue, twenty-five in number, together with their issue, on the first of the January after they should respectively attain the age of twenty-eight. Were any meanwhile absent from duty wilfully or by imprisonment for crime, his freedom was to be further deferred for treble the term of his absence. Twenty attained their emancipation during the Chief Justice's lifetime. William Tilghman was a man of Christian piety,

kindliest charity, and strictest integrity. On going the circuits, he invariably carried with him his Bible, some recent treatise on the law, and some Latin author. He was chosen President of the American Philosophical Society in 1824; the post of all others, perhaps, for whch he was least fitted, as he knew little of natural science, although anxious for its advancement. He was also member of those bodies which seek men of high social or business influence whenever there is a vacancy to fill ; and in them he was conscientiously attentive to his duties. He was Trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, also the first President of the Atheneum, and a Warden of the United Churches-Christ Church and St. Peter's. He continued to preside over the Supreme Court until his last sickness. In the words of his eulogist, “ on Mon- " day the 30th of April, 1827, he closed his eyes for ever. It will be " long, very long before we shall open ours upon a wiser judge, a " sounder lawyer, a riper scholar, a purer man, or a truer gentleman."

JOHN MOLAND.
The name Moland appears to have been contracted from Moreland, in or shortly before the days of the Councillor. There is a John Moland, perhaps his father, named in the catalogue of the graduates of the University of Oxford, who took the degree of B. C. L. on Oct. 11, 1714. John Moland the Councillor is said to have been born in London in 1700, and studied law at the Inner Temple, on the books of which he is called John Morland, and a note says that he was commissioned King's Attorney in Pennsylvania. He first appears in our records, several years before his marriage, as practising law in Lancaster Co. In 1744, he resided in Rockhill Township, Bucks Co. He afterwards owned a plantation near the Neshaminy. In June, 1745, he purchased 116 acres on the Frankford Road, in Philadelphia Co., since known as " Rose Hill," where he afterwards resided. He was a subscriber to the Dancing Assembly held in the City in 1748-9. From this date until his death, he was a leader of the bar of the Province. He was the legal preceptor of John Dick- inson (see Norris) and of George Read of Delaware. His admission to the Council was on June 19, 1759. He d. Jany. 5, 1761, and was bu. at his country-seat (obit. notices). He m. about 1738 Catherine Hutchinson of New Castle on Delaware. She d. Feb. 14, 1780. Issue :

Returning, he joined Braddock, and was severely wounded in the action of July 9, 1755. In the following January, he was made Lieut .- Colonel, and two years later, obtained command of the 3rd batt., 60th Foot. He was actively engaged under Forbes and Bouquet during the next four years, and on Feb. 9, 1762, was gazetted Colonel.
