MEMORANDUM.

RESIGNATION OF MR. JUSTICE WYLIE.

At a meeting of the members of the Bar called to take action in respect of the resignation of the Hon. Andrew Wylie, as a justice of this court, the following resolutions were passed.

WHEREAS, the Honorable Andrew Wylie has, by resignation, retired from his position as one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia;

AND, WHEREAS, we, as members of the Bar of that Court, cannot permit an action fraught with so much interest to this Bench and Bar, to pass without expressing our feelings on the occasion:

Be it, therefore, Resolved, That we, as members of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, hereby express our high respect and esteem for the Hon. Andrew Wylie, both as a man and a judge; our thanks to him for the faithful and able manner in which he has, for twentytwo years past, administered the law and fulfilled his duties on the Bench. That he carries with him, in his retirement, our honor and regard, to which his character, abilities and services have so well entitled him, and our best wishes and hopes that he may crown his life of labor with the prolonged age so justly his due.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the Hon. Andrew Wylie by a committee of this Bar, and also to the Court in General Term, with the request that the same may be spread upon its minutes.

Whereupon, the Court orders that the said resolutions be spread upon its minutes; which is done accordingly. MAY 8, 1885.
