with a sagacity almost prophetic. But that force will be felt now no more: that sagacity will cease to sway the judgments of men; and Death has placed its seal upon his destiny; and it has become our sad office to lament his loss:--Therefore, be it _Resolved_, That, while we feel painfully the death of so illustrious a member of our profession, we are grateful to the Disposer of Events that, with all his noble faculties unimpaired, and in the midst of untold temporal blessings, our deceased brother attained to such an advanced age, and reflected for so many years upon the Bar, upon his native and beloved Commonwealth, and upon the Union at large, the lustre of his splendid talents, the pure and unsullied glory of his name and fame, and his eminent moral and social virtues. _Resolved_, That the members of the Bar will this day attend his funeral in a body; and wear crape on the left arm for thirty days. _Resolved_, That Hugh Blair Grigsby be requested to prepare a discourse on the life and character of Mr. Tazewell, to be delivered before the Bar at such time as may suit his convenience. _Resolved_, That we extend to the family of our deceased brother our warmest and most heartfelt condolence on the death of its illustrious head. _Resolved_, That a copy of these proceedings be presented to the family of Mr. Tazewell. _Resolved_, That these resolutions be published in the newspapers of Norfolk and Richmond. After the reading of the above resolutions, Messrs. Tazewell Taylor, Hugh Blair Grigsby, William W. Sharp, and L.H. Chandler, delivered touching and appropriate addresses. On motion of William W. Sharp, the blank in the third resolution was filled with the name of Hugh Blair Grigsby, who, being present, accepted the appointment. The meeting then adjourned to enable the members of the Bar to attend the funeral. JAMES E. HUBARD, _Chairman_. CHARLES SHARP, } _Secretaries_. JOHN T. FRANCIS, } No. II.
