"GEORGE STAFFORD LACEY. The present City Attorney was born in the City of Albany, New York, on the 9th day of August, 1820. At the age of sixteen he commenced the study of law in that city with his brother-in-law, Rufus W. Peckham, now one of the Judges of the Court of Appeals, of the State of New York. In 1840 he removed to Louisiana, was admitted to the bar of that State in 1842, and immediately afterwards commenced the practice of law in the city of Baton Rouge. When the seat of government was removed to Baton Rouge, Governor Walker, then the Chief Executive of the State, offered Mr. Lacey a District Judgeship, which he declined. In 1853 he ran for the State Senate, as Senator for the District of East Baton Rouge and Livingston, and, being elected, served the State as her Senator, and as Chairman of the State Judiciary Committee during the years 1853, 1854 and 1855. In 1855 he removed to New Orleans, where, in a short time, he secured a large and lucrative practice, which he has maintained ever since. In 1866 he ran for the office of Attorney General of the State of Louisiana, under the banner of the National Conservative Union Party. In 1870 he was appointed City Attorney of the City of New Orleans, which office he now holds. Mr. Lacey is an admirable lawyer, and possesses rare talents as an orator. Notwithstanding the great labors of his profession, Mr. Lacey has found time to devote himself to other studies, and in 1869 he published a work on "The Doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist." As a representative churchman of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, Mr. Lacey has not only labored in her behalf as an author, but has served her as a Trustee of her General Theological Seminary, and as a Delegate to her General Convention." -- Jewell's Crescent City Illustrated (1873), Edited and compiled by Edwin L. Jewell, Page 319.
