Under a title, ENCOURAGING FACTS, this notice appears in the June 6, 1861 Liberator, relative to a son of David Walker’s. “Edward Garrison Walker, a young colored man, was, on May 6th, on motion of Robert Morris, Esq., Judge Russell on the Superior Court bench, admitted to practice in the Courts of this Commonwealth.”
A similar reference to Walker’s admission to the Bar, appears in the June 14 issue of the Liberator, Walker “is a gentleman of high moral character and integrity, possessing a strong, quick, active mind and sound judgment; and has attained his present position only by untiring labor and unceasing study. His examination before Judge Russell was thorough, and highly satisfactory.”
