News Item
Mortimer Livingston, son of our neighbor John Livingston, having graduated in Columbia College Law School and passed his examination, was last week admitted to the Bar by the General Term of the Supreme Court in the City of New York. Although possessed by inheritance of such ample fortune as to render the labor of active practice for subsistence unnecessary, yet he is not willing to lead a life of "inglorious case," but designs devoting himself sedulously to practice. Of good legal stock, he ought to succeed. His father, admitted in 1847, has ever since practiced in New York. His paternal grandfather, Peter Livingston, whose ancestors removed from the Hudson River to Schoharie County [NY] and subsequently, in 1836 to that part of the Susquehanna Valley opposite Apalachin in this county [Broome co. NY] where he purchased a homestead, still occupied by descendants, was a valuable and highly respected citizen. His maternal grandfather, Gabriel Winter, was graduated at Columbia College in 1802, was admitted to the bar in 1805, and from that time until February, a period of fifty-seven consecutive years, continued an uninterrupted practice in the city of New York. His maternal great-grandfather Joseph Winter, who was also a lawyer, practiced and died there, and was known as the owner of a small farm between Pine and Wall Streets, the cobble stone house upon which is still remembered by some of the older inhabitants. The Winters came from England more than 100 years ago, and the Livingstons near Edinburgh, in Scotland, 200 years ago. Mortimer designs devoting himself to Railway Law and Practice as a specialty.
