important services to his country, which distinguished him throughout a long and
honourable life; being convened for the purpose of testifying their respect and
veneration for his memory, have adopted the following resolutions:  - Whereas
the Honourable Hugh Rutledge, late and for many years a Chancellor of this
state, from early life devoted himself to the service of his country: during her
struggles for liberty gallantly fighting in her ranks, and by his example
throughout, animating his countrymen in the field, in captivity, and in
banishment, to meet and sustain with heroick fortitude all the various trials of
the Revolutionary conflict; and after the establishment and consolidation of the
Independence of his country, requiting her well earned confidence by the able
and faithful discharge of the duties of several high and important stations, and
in his late capacity of Chancellor (wherein those who pay this tribute were the
constant witnesses of his conduct) administering public justice, during a long
course of service, with great learning and ability; with unsullied purity and
inflexible virtue; always adorning the judgement with a deportment mild and
dignified, humane and liberal; and in private life uniting all those amiable and
valuable qualities which prompt esteem, cement friendship, and produce extensive
usefulness: And whereas, the recent death of this excellent judge and most
worthy Citizen, is a publick bereavement greatly to be deplored, and is deeply
regretted by the Members of the Bar, they have therefore

Resolved, as a testimony of their sense of the loss sustained by the publick, of
the esteem which they bore to his person, and of the respect and veneration
which they cherish for his memory, that the Members of the Bar, now convened,
will put on Mourning for him, by wearing a crape on the left arm, for thirty
days from the date hereof.
