tended by the local court officials and
nearly all the members of the county

Mr. Meakin sang a number rf
songs with Mr. Davies •1 the piano.
Mr. Dancey, who acted as toast-
maater, wan In excellent form and In-
troduced the various speakers with
fitting phrase.
Ire -Sheriff Reynolda, tbe first speak-
er, described himself as the "Last of
the Mohicans," alluding to the fact
that his contemporaries In the court
house had passed. off the stage. He
spoke of such former members of the
legal profession in Godertcb as the
late Judge Carrow, Judge Lewis, E.
Campion, Judge Cameron, Senator
Prondfoot, and paid tribute to their
mm
eory.
Mr. Bad
Banbury, In proposing a toast
to "the Bench," quoted the late Lord
Asquith to the effect that "no class or
prof.saion has done more to define
and develop and to dolma the liber-
ties of England than the 'judiciary."
This encomium, the speaker said.
could be applied to the Junlciary of
note of the bench of today is the abil-
ity with which they handle the imam
coming before them." The members
of the judiciary, he declared, could al-
ways depend upon the steadfast loyal-
ty of the memb_en of the bar of Hur-
on county.
Judge Costello congratulated the
bar of Huron upon arranging the
gatbering of the evening. It was not
everywhere, he said, the members of
the bar could be brought together In
such wholehearted ■ppreciatlon of the
bench. Judge .Kerwin should feel
honored by such • demonstration. He
thanked the members of the errant"
bar for the many kindnesses extended
to film since he had come to Ooder-
Ich. "1 could not wish,' be said, "to
administer the law before a better
bar than we have here In Huron
county." He bad been here now just
about two years and his experiences that had been so pleasant at he amid
not conceive of any other part of the
Prorfnce where he would rather be
situated. He congratulated Judge
Kerwin upon his appointment to the
bench et so early an age and ex-
pensed the hope that he might enjoy
many years In the work.
Judge Costello remarked that It was
sometimes said that we had too many
judges. Hie opinion was' that there
were not enough. The Judges were
overworked, and this' led to "snap
Judgment." --It wont.' he better if the
judgem had more time to review the
law on the canes coming before them.
This wap pnrtlrnlerly true of the
High Court bench.
The ehslrman, Introducing the toast)
to the gue.t of the evening, endorsed
Judge Costello's remarks upon the
gree amount of work devolving upon
the judges. A potation upon the
bench was anything hat a sinecure,
hp Pad.
Judge Kerwin, who was heartily
received, stated that because of extra
work he had unexpectedly been called

upon to do he had Munable to col-
