He was clerk of the house of representatives of Massachusetts in 1832, judge of the court of common pleas in 1844, and reporter to the supreme court in 1848He was a learned and discriminating jurist but his chief claim to distinction rests upon his studies of parliamentary law There is more but I test your patience.
