COMMEMORATIVE CntDtomu.-There
was a Urge-meeting of ttui members Of
IbcMMir in Baieigh, l»st Wednesday to
engage in the ceremonies commemorutlve
of the lift and character Of the late Judge
Battle. Chief Justice Smith presided.
Eulogies were pronouueed by llou. A.
i oTMerrlmou, Judge Oot, 8. A. Aiho
, E«qr. and others. From the published
proceedings in The Observer we e!ip the
followiug sketch of the life and services
1 of lids eminent and upright man.
William Horn Battle was born 47tU
, Oetobor, 1802. Ue was the eldest of six
brothers, Bis father was Joel Battle,
and Ms mother was a daughter ol Amos
' Johnson. They woreol the ftret families
• iu Edgecombe county.
i William H. Battle graduated at the
University of North Carolina at the *ge
of about eighteen, with distinction, deli v«
ci ing I he vliedlciofy address.
N to Mter graduating he began the
I study of the law wiUi Chief, Justice Hen
. dersou, and some three yean thereafter
. was so well prepared that tbe Supreme
r Court gtare him lk»nas 4m both the
: SSSTIBS^XG&I«US
lime.
[ lie married MfKlmsy Hurame*. the
1 daughter of Kemp Plummet, a dialing
• guished lawyer of Warren ; and soon' af»
: ITTFFIRLKI.
' was modest and retlrlug, and won his
> way to public 35nfldouoe by industry and
i fidelity.
He represented Ms county for a few
years hi ifco Legielotmrs* bow his public
1 services were almost entirely profession
1 al. " ;
, From 1884 to 1880 he was iu oonjuncs
t lion with Thomas P. Devemix,reporter
to the Supreme Court.
• In 1886 lie aim Governor Iredell And
- Judge Nash were appointed to revise the
I statutes of the-State; aud to bis learning
I aud industry the Revised Statutes owed
much ot its excellency. Alter he was
asveulv yasri ofsge the Legislature agnin
appointed him*lo»e to revise the statutes,
allowing him but littie time for the work.
This Was a high compliment, but it was
too much for any man to perforin, and he
did not completo it to bis owu satisfac
tion.
He republished some o* the older So*
' prejne Court Renorts, With annotation*,
' and at different times' published four toN
' limes of digests ot the Reports, which are
the dig-urn ww.luJWi . ... m *
r lu 1840 he was appoiuted by the Gov
-1 ernor, and during tne same year waß
1 elected by the Legislature* a Judge ol the
Snperior Court, which office he filled
1 with great acceptability until 1848, when
' he Was appointed by the Governor to fill
' A vacancy on tbe Supreme Court Bench.
1 The Legislature, however, did not elect
Mm to that oosltion, solely on account of
his location in a comity where there were
already three Judges, and a Seuator iu
Congress; but lie Was, however, by the
same Legislature, reinstated in a vert
complimentary manner upon the Superi
or Court Bench. In 1862 lie was elected
to the Supreme Court Bench, which place
be occupied until 1866, when all the
State offices were declared vacant. Hd
was then again elected to the Supreme'
Court Bench, and occupied that position
until the new organization of the court
