Judge Wells
Judge Wells has held some public trust almost continuously for over fifty years, since his residence in the State, and most. of the time his valuable services were either gratuitous or performed for a very small salary. The writer has been intimately acquainted with him for the past forty-six years and never knew him to refuse his services where the public demanded them, however undesirable the office may have been. I have never known him to obtain an office where he received a compensation adequate to the service until he received from President Grant, and subsequently from President Arthur, the appointment of Presiding Judge of the Court .
