He was married in 1853 to Miss Mary J. Bates, of Springdale, Connecticut. Mrs. Mallory died in 1861, leaving three children, Jennie M., Lilian, and Rollin B. Mallory, who is now a practicing attorney in Milwaukee. Judge Mallory never married again, devoting his life thereafter to the care of his children and in attending to their education in the most. careful manner.

In the Fall of 1854 he was elected District Attorney of Milwaukee County, and was reelected to that office in 1856 and again in 1858. During the time that he held this important office he constantly met, in the trial of cases, such well-known lawyers as the late Senator Matthew H. Carpenter, Judge E. G. Ryan, afterwards Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, Jonathan E. Arnold, A. R. R. Butler and many others. There were tried, during his incumbency of this office, many murder cases, all of which were prosecuted by Mr. Mallory himself. He was so successful in his conduct of the affairs of that office that when there occurred a vacancy on the bench of the Municipal Court of Milwaukee County, he was, on the 2nd day of March, 1860, appointed judge of that court by Governor Randall. At that time. the city of Milwaukee was comparatively young as a city and was passing through its formative stage. There were many questions arising under state statutes and city ordinances of importance to the people, which had never been adjudicated, and which required care, patience and the exercise of rare judgment. In the performance of this portion of his duties Judge Mallory gave evident satisfaction, showing clearly his desire to do his whole duty to the best interest of the people. Judge Mallory was repeatedly elected to this position, generally without opposition, until January, 1890, a period of thirty years, when he retired to enjoy a well-earned rest during his remaining years.

When holding the position of judge he did not give up his interest in affairs of moment to the people, nor in the political party to which he allied himself and in whose principles he

was ever a firm believer. In 1860, after his appointment by the Governor, he was elected a delegate to the Democratic National Convention held at Baltimore, which nominated Stephen A. Douglas for president. He was afterwards elected a delegate to the Democratic National Convention held in 1868, which nominated Horatio Seymour for president. In 1877 he was the nominee of his party for Governor of Wisconsin, but was defeated, by a narrow majority, by the late William E. Smith. Upon his retirement from the bench, he devoted himself to his business interests and to his studies. He was a member of the American Bar Association

for many years.

During this time he was an officer of, and took an active interest in, the affairs of the Wisconsin Humane Society, the Municipal League of Milwaukee and other organizations of a public nature.

He always retained the confidence of the people, by reason of his fearless administration of justice, and the firm and open stand that he ever took on all matters of public import. He died honored and respected by the community in which he had lived.

GEORGE E. SUTHERLAND.

George E. Sutherland, judge of the Superior Court of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, passed from this life at Chicago, on September 13, 1899. He was born at Burlington, New York, September 14, 1843, and, with his parents, came to Wisconsin in 1855. He attended school at Ripon College and subsequently was graduated at Amherst College. His law course was taken at Columbia College law school, from which he was graduated in 1871.

He opened an office at Ripon, Fond du Lac County, and served as city attorney for two years. He then removed to Fond du Lac, and was associated in business with a distinguished member of the bar, David Taylor, later a justice of the

He

Supreme Court, the firm being Taylor & Sutherland. served one term in the State Senate, was postmaster for a term in the city of Fond du Lac, and, after Mr. Taylor was elected to the Supreme Bench, practiced law at Fond du Lac a number of years. He came to Milwaukee in 1886 and entered into business with Joshua Stark, and continued to practice at that bar until the Spring of 1897, when he was elected to the bench as judge of the Superior Court of Milwaukee County. He continued in the active discharge of his duties until the 16th day of June, 1899, when he adjourned court for the summer vacation and departed on a trip to Europe. He reached Chicago on his way home, and expected to return to Milwaukee the following day, when he was suddenly taken ill and died.

Although barely sixteen months had passed since George E. Sutherland was invested with judicial honors, yet for this brief period, in patience and in kindness, and with wise judicial discretion, he held the scales of justice with a steady hand, uninfluenced by prejudice, fear or favor, careful only of the law of which he was a zealous student. As a trial judge he was uniformly patient and kind in his treatment both of counsel and witnesses. The judicial qualities of his mind were admirable, and he gave to his work the highest and best of which he was capable. His was a sunny and genial disposition, and he made the way easier and more pleasant for many a struggling young attorney. The highest good was his great ambition in his social, business and church relations.
