As a justice, Totten was "not a man of preeminent ability, but he filled the measure of judicial duty", being described as "deliberate in the formation of his opinions, diligent in research, attached to established precedent, and could not be swayed from his conscientious convictions". He remained on the bench until his resignation on July 17, 1855. Totten was a member of the Peace Conference of 1861, held in Washington, D.C. Totten died in 1867. (en)
