Professor Wm. D. Alexander's very admirable History, "To say that he was the right 

 man in the right place gives but a faint idea of his eminent services to the countrj'. 

 He organized the courts of justice, and so conducfled the highest tribunal that it soon 

 acquired universal confidence and respect, and, instead of being a source of weakness, be- 

 came the strongest pillar of the government. As president of the Board of Land Com- 

 missioners he performed a most arduous and responsible task. Although he was not the 

 originator of that great reform, his was the guiding mind in carrving it on." Judge 

 Lee died May 2Sth, 1S57. In the days when there were no Hawaiian decorations this 

 cape of royal color and material may well have marked a monarch's appreciation of his

 ent possessor is unknown.
