Samuel Clowes counsel for the King in all cases where he is not already concerned for the subject." After 1744, owing to his advanced age, he gave up the active practice of a profession in which he had risen to eminence, commanding the respect and admiration of his brother lawyers and of the people. Mr. Clowes died, full of years, in Jamaica, Long Island, in 1760. In his will, which bears date of July 24, 1759, but was not offered for probate until August 28, 1760, he put down his age at eighty-five years and five months.' He was, therefore, over eighty-six years of age at the time of his death, the exact date of which we have failed to discover.

Another lawyer, whose name appears simultaneously with that of Mr. Clowes, in 1717, in connection with a number of proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas, was Vernon. His first name is omitted in the court records, and little is known of him beyond the fact that he practiced law until 1728.

Mr. Murray and Mr. Jamison are next mentioned -- first name omitted-- as practicing, from 1719 to 1736- 37, in Westchester County. The former was, no doubt, Joseph Murray, of New York, member of the Colonial Council of New York from 1744-58.^ He died in 1758. There can be also little doubt that " Mr. Jamison''was David Jamison, one of the patentees of Harrison's Purchase (the town of Harrison), at one time chief justice of New Jersey and attorney-general of New York.''
