“ Those who drag in religion, as one of your contemporaries has done, resemble the woman who was constantly expressing dread of a "great deal of immorality existing in the community," she herself being at the same time one of the most doubtful characters in the city Mr O'Malley has been known to me for fourteen years, during three years of which I saw him every day. When I say the Government made a wise choice, it is simply because I know Michael O'Malley to be a just and upright and honourable man, as near as human nature will allow him to be a realisation of the ideal of Horace. ”

“ O'Malley for many years as a friend, and always regarded him as an upright and honourable man, who in both his private and judicial capacity had commanded the respect and confidence of all classes of the community. ”

“ Judging the dead, according to the old Egyptian custom, is but an inferior sort of satisfaction to the relatives of the deceased, and only mighty poor consolation to the corpse itself. Mr. O'Malley will not likely be at all gratified to find that either his ability or his reputation requires any defence, or any testimonial, at this advanced period of his career. ”
