SCUDDER, Henry Joel, lawyer, born in North-port, L. I., in 1825 ; died in New York city, 12 February, 1886. He was graduated at Trinity in 1846, admitted to the bar of New York city in 1848, and five years later entered into a partnership with James C. Carter, under the firm-name of Scudder and Carter, in which he continued until his death, gradually advancing to the front rank in his profession, especially in matters regarding admiralty law. He was chosen to congress as a Republican in 1872 from a district that had never before been represented by a member of that party, served one term, declined renomination, and was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat on the New York supreme bench in 1875. Columbia gave him the degree of A.M. in 1862, and Roanoke college, Virginia, that of LL. D. in 1881.
