Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Sketch of John Dean Caton, Ex-Chief-Justice of Illinois The career of Ex-Chief-Justice Caton, of Illinois, has been signalized by arduous labors and by deserved success. If die details of his life could be laid before the world, they would afford a record to be commended to every young man who is struggling with adversity, and is desirous of creating for himself an honorable name. At the age of fifty-two, he voluntarily resigned the highest judicial position in the State, at a time when his mind was capable of putting forth its most vigorous manifestations, and when his physical powers were unimpaired. He has stamped the impress of his mind upon the jurisprudence of the State; and in the volumes of the Reports which contain his decisions, there is not a page which his warmest friends would seek to blot, not a sentence which betrays the spirit of the partisan judge. No man ever illustrated more admirably the precept - "Justum et tenacem propositi virum;" no man ever held the scales of justice with a steadier equipoise. John Dean Caton was born on the 19th of March, 1812, in the town of Monroe, Orange County, New York. His father´s name was Robert Caton, whose immediate ancestor, of the same name, was born in Ireland, and emigrated to Maryland before the Revolutionary War. He ultimately settled in Virginia, and became possessed of a plantation on the banks of the Potomac, where the father of the subject of our memoir was born, March 22, 1761. Upon the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, Robert Caton, the son, and his brother John, ran away from the paternal roof and joined the American army, then encamped before Boston, and remained with it until, on the declaration of peace, it was disbanded.
