with Judges and Lawyers” (Boston: Houghton-Mifflin & Co. 1896),
says: At No. 4 Court street, Boston, many distinguished lawyers
had their offices. I copy here a slip which was pasted on the outer
door: “In 1837, bere were found Rufus Choate and F. B. Crown-
inshield (partners), Charles Sumner and George S. Hilliard (part-
ners), Theophilus Parsons and William G. Stevens, Horace Mann,
Edward G. Loring, Benjamin Guild, Luther S. Cushing, John 0,
Sargent, P. W. Chandler, John Codman, T. P. Chandler, John A.
Andrew, and others.” When Mr. George 8. Hilliard left the build-
ing in 1856, he bade farewell to No. 4 in these graceful lines:

“The child that in the cradle slept,
‘When first upon the stairs I stepped,
Now strongly stalks across the land,
With beard on chin and vote in band.

“And I have passed from summer’s prime
To autumn’s sober shadowy time,
And left the throbs and known the strife,
That slowly rear the dome of life.

“1 hear no more the well-known feet,
The kindly looks no more I greet;
But eve I part from number four,
T leave my blessings at the door.”

George 8. Hilliard, who waa the daintiest and moat suave of men,
was trying 4 case in which the opposing counsel sought to recover
for eerviees in exhibiting a panorama, when the following occurred:
Mr, Hilliard: “How long a time does it take to unroll a pano-
ramaf” Witness (the owner): “That depends upon the andi-
ence.” Hilliard: “What do you pay a man per night to turn the
panorama?” Witness: ‘Ten dollars or fifteen dollars.” Hilliard:
“Seema to me that is pretty high; I think I should like to work for
thet.” Witness: “Well, next time I have a panorama I'll hire
yer!
