We desire especially to men tion and thank you for your exceedingly courteous demeanour to the members of the bar, your ready accessibility at all times, and'the kind consideration you have always ghoira in studying the convenience of the profession and suitors in carrying on busi ness in Court and in Chambers. In conclusion, we desire to assure your Honor that it affords us great satisfaction to anticipate the time when you ghall permanently occupy a seat on the Eench of the Supreme Court, which you lave proved yourself so well qualified to idom. Mr Justice Ward, in reply, said :— Mr Button, and gentlemen of the Bar,—l lave to return you my sincere thanks for tie kind and flattering address just de livered. On my arrival here, you greeted mevfith.frank cordiality, but an address of ftlwme is after all chiefly a matter of Mttesy; an address at parting, one of ipciation. And although I cannot per de myself that all the kind expressions of sydd Mend, Mr Button, are deserved, — /(Msone cap he .more conscious than lof iw_ Mlnre-' and' shortcomings,—still it is pleasant to know that at least those with vrhornlliaye worked during the last twelve months believe that I have done my best. I arrived here a stranger to nearly all of yon, Heave a circle of pleasant acquaint ances, to some of whom I am indebted for many acts of kindness and courtesy. More overjudffes are said to he the scholars of the bar; and, after an experience extending from Auckland to Invercargill, I can truly ayttot I have never met abler teachers. Of tie future whereof the address speaks, I can say nothing. One step at a time is now enough for me; and in these doubtful days I camiot, even yet, say certainly Witherthenextstepmay lead me. However, tlisiscerfcain.thatinnocityin New Zea- WJ)aie..vte found a pleasanter sojourn,, a Wre courteous welcome, or a warmer greet ing at parting; and, wherever my lot may Ncast, I; shall always retain the most anoly remembrance of my friends of the Auckland bar. And now, with all good wishes, I have only once more to render you J>y ancere thanks, and to wish you all teartdy farewell.
