From 1804 to 1823, was the period of his judicial service. When he came on the Bench he had James Kent, Brockholst Livingston, and Smith Thompson for his associates — the last two having been appointed the preceding year, by the Council 45 of which he and Mr. Clinton were members. In 1807, William W. Van Ness took the place of Judge Livingston; Jonas Piatt came in, in 1814, when Chief Justice Kent was made Chancellor; and in 1819, John Wood worth — on whom the office had been urged nearly twent...y years before, but then declined — took the place of Judge Thompson. At this time (1819, ) Judge Spencer became Chief Jus- tice. After this enumeration, I hardly need say that during his whole term of service, he was asso- ciated with very able judges ; and if he maintained from the first a position of eminence and marked superiority among his brethren — as I suppose it must be conceded he did — it was not because he was surrounded with feeble or inferior men. Quite the contrary. All the gentlemen I have named were men of superior ability, and good professional learning; several of them possessed talents of the highest order, and exactly of the kind which fitted them for a high judicial station.
