The evidence

• “Sloan was born in Morrisville, Madison county, N. Y., May 9, 1822, and received a common school and academic education, after which he entered upon the study of law with Timothy Jenkins, a distinguished lawyer at Oneida, N. Y. ; was admitted to the bar as an attorney at Ithaca in 1848 at the second term of the Supreme court of that district after the adoption of the code of procedure in New York, by which the forms of action and practice as established by the common law were abolished and the code of procedure, the same that now prevails in Wisconsin, was established.”
