FLOYD COUNTY.
Floyd county was organized by the Legislature on January 2, 1819, and the act became effective on the 2nd of the follow- ing month. The county had originally been a part of Harri- son and Clark counties. The locating commissioners met in the spring of 1819 to select a site for the county seat and, after several meetings and considerable deliberation, decided to locate it at New Albany. The fact that it was on the river was evidently the deciding factor in its favor, although the donation of four lots and nine thousand dollars by public- spirited citizens of the town was not without its effect. With- in four years after the county was organized, an effort was made to relocate the county seat, the act of January 10, 1823, designating commissioners who were to meet at New Albany "on the first Monday of March, 1823, to relocate and estab- lish a seat of justice for said county." It is not known what action the commissioners took, but it is certain that New Albany remained the county seat.
The first term of the Circuit court of Floyd county con- vened in May, 1819, at New Albany. It was presided over by Davis Floyd, the President Judge of the Second circuit, to which Floyd had been attached upon its organization.

FLOYD-CLARK CRIMINAL JUDGES.
Floyd and Clark counties were organized as a Criminal court by the legislative act of April 23, 1869, being designated as the Twenty-seventh circuit. The court was in existence only a few years, the act of February 8, 1877, providing for its abolishment. Governor Baker appointed John H. Butler as the first Judge of the court and he served from April 28, 1869, until April 29, 1870, when he was succeeded by Melville C. Hester. Judge Hester occupied the bench until October 26, 1870, at which time Cyrus L. Dunham took the office as a

result of the October election. Thomas L. Smith, Jr., filled the office from October 26, 1874, until the act of February 8, 1877, discontinued the court and transferred all of the cases then pending to the Circuit court.
FOUNTAIN COUNTY.
Fountain county was created out of part of Montgomery and Wabash counties by an act of the General Assembly ap- proved December 31, 1825, which became effective April 1, 1826. The locating commissioners were to meet on the first Monday in May, 1826, to choose the county seat site. They undoubtedly did not meet until later, since their report was not made until July 25, 1826. The county commissioners on this day ordered "that the seat of justice of Fountain county be known and designated by the name of Covington." The first court house was a frame structure, costing three hundred and thirty-five dollars. Since Covington was on the Wabash river, which forms the western boundary of the county, there was an agitation started in the latter part of the twenties to move the seat to a more central location. This agitation cul- minated in the legislative act of January 29, 1831, which pro- vided for locating commissioners to investigate the question of relocation. Three men, Thomas Brown, Peter Hughes and Peter Rush, were appointed to value the town lots in Coving- ton, and make an estimate of how much less value said prop- erty would be by the removal of the county seat. In May, 1831, they reported to the county board that their estimate was nine thousand seven hundred and twenty-one dollars. The commissioners appointed by the state reported to the county commissioners on June 8, 1831, that "they unanimously agreed that the town of Covington be and remain the permanent seat of justice of said county."
A very interesting account of the incidents leading up to the act of January 29, 1831, is told by F. E. Livengood, a lawyer of Covington. The petitioners favoring relocation in 1829 could not get a sufficient number of living signers, so they took the names of the deceased males from the grave- stones of the different cemeteries in the county in order to
676
COURTS AND LAWYERS OF INDIANA
get the required number. The citizens of Covington got news of this and tried to offset the work of the opposition by adding to their legal list a long list of soldiers, both living and dead, of the Revolutionary war, Indian wars and War of 1812. Both of these padded petitions went to the Legislature of 1830- 31, where it was found that the petitions together contained twice as many names as there were residents of the county, men, women and children. Upon this startling discovery, the Legislature decided to investigate the situation. Hence the act of January 31, 1831, which has been mentioned. The next concerted effort to secure relocation in Fountain county oc- curred in 1851. On February 14 of that year the Legislature passed a bill which provided for an election on the first Mon- day of April following. The towns to be voted on were Covington and Chambersburg. Covington succeeded in re- taining the county seat. In 1870 and 1871, and again in 1913, Veedersburg tried to get a bill through the Legislature to secure the seat of justice. The Veedersburg citizens say they are going to stay in the fight until they get the county seat.
The act which created Fountain county provided that the Circuit court should be held at the house of Robert Hatfield until a suitable public building could be erected. On July 14, 1826, at Mr. Hatfield's house, near where Strader's Station was later located, the first court of the county was held. It was presided over by Associate Judges Evan Hinton and Lucas Nebeker, neither of whom was a professional lawyer. The first regular term of court was held in September, 1826, at the same place, with John R. Porter as President Judge and Lucius Nebeker and Evan Hinton as Associates. The term lasted only one day, no cases coming up for trial. At this time, however, John Law, Thomas H. Blake, Joseph Van Meter, John B. Chapman, Andrew Ingram and James Far- rington were admitted to practice.
When court met in 1828, Edward A. Hannegan and Daniel Rodgers were admitted to practice at the Fountain county bar. The former later served as prosecutor and became prom- inent in the public life of the state, serving (1843-49) as United States senator from Indiana. In March, 1830, the first indictment for murder was returned by the grand jury.
677
THE COUNTY COURTS
This grand jury was composed of William Cochran, Samuel Trullinger, Alexander Logan, Benjamin Wade, Jacob Bever, Robert Miller, David Sewall, Jesse Osborn, Caleb Abernathy, James Stewart, Stephen Harper, Samuel Garver, Conrad Wal- ters, John Ralston and Bennett Seibird. At this time the prosecutor was Edward A. Hannegan. The case was tried in the fall of 1830 and the accused was found guilty by a petit jury consisting of John Miller, Joshua Sherill, John Orr, Henry Campbell, John Helms, Asa Smith, Elijah Ferguson, Rhodes Smith, Abraham Gabriel, James Snow, Job Orrahood and Hiram Funk. Not only was the accused, John Richard- son, found guilty as charged on the indictment, but he was sentenced to be hung and was duly executed.
Judge Porter was succeeded in 1838 on the bench of the Fountain Circuit court by Judge Isaac Naylor, who served continuously until 1852, when he was succeeded by William P. Bryant. Judge Bryant served until 1858, when he was, succeeded by Judge John M. Cowan. Cowan was succeeded. in 1870 by Judge Thomas Davidson, of Covington. Judge Davidson published a small volume of overruled cases in 1878 and, a few years afterwards, a manual of probate law, which was generally used at the time. In 1882 Joseph M. Rabb came upon the bench of the Fountain Circuit court, and served until the act of March 3, 1905, made Fountain the sole county of the Sixty-first circuit. The Governor appointed Charles R. Milford as the first Judge of the new circuit and he served from May 12, 1905, to November 16, 1906, when he was suc- ceeded by Isaac Schoonover, whose term expires November 16, 1918.

FRANKLIN COUNTY.
Franklin county, the seventh county organized within the limits of the state of Indiana, was one of the thirteen counties which had been organized at the time the territory applied to Congress for an enabling act in 1815. It was organized under the authority of an act of the territorial Legislature, approved November 27, 1810, being at that time a part of Dearborn and Clark counties. The northern limits of Frank- lin extended into the present counties of Fayette and Union.
At the time of its organization it was generally conceded that Brookville would become the county seat, though a tradi- tion has prevailed to the effect that the town of Fairfield aspired to this honor. Brookville, however, was selected as the county seat in 1811. Franklin county secured its present territorial limits as the result of three separate legislative acts. Fayette county was organized by an act of December 28, 1818; Union county by an act of January 5, 1821; and a third act (October, 1818, which organized Decatur county) resulted in defining the limits of Franklin as it now stands.
When Franklin county began its independent career in 1811, five years before the admission of Indiana to the Union, it had three courts to care for its business, a County court, a Common Pleas court and a Circuit court. In addition there were a number of Justice of the Peace courts. The County court was composed of the Associate Judges, the audi- tor and sheriff and had practically the same functions as the commissioners' court of today. It went out of existence when the state was admitted to the Union in 1816. The first County court in Franklin county met on February 18, 1811, with Ben- jamin McCarty, John Templeton and Thomas Brown present. These men were Judges also of the Common Pleas court. As a County court, they fixed the tax levy, created townships, laid out roads, or "cartways" as they called them, issued tav-

THE COUNTY COURTS
ern licenses, appointed road supervisors, fence viewers, listers, overseers of the poor, election officials, pound-keepers and all other appointive officers. The last session of the County court was held February 5, 1817; the Associate Judges at that time were John Whitworth and William H. Eads.
The first Circuit court in Franklin county under the 1816 Constitution met in March, 1817, with John Test as President Judge, and John Jacobs and John Hanna as Associate Judges. In the spring of 1817, four of Brookville's lawyers got tangled up in a series of arguments, which finally brought them to the bar of justice. James McKinney and Miles C. Eggleston, afterward the Judge of the Circuit court from 1819 to 1847, staged an encounter somewhere in Brookville. Although the records are not available to show the fight by rounds, the actors were, nevertheless, brought before the court, pleaded not guilty, and asked for a trial by jury. Whether they got five dollars' worth of satisfaction out of their encounter is not known, but it took that much to satisfy the court. In the spring of 1817, James Noble, then United States senator, a brother of Noah Noble, a Governor of the state, and Stephen C. Stephens, who served as a member of the Supreme court of Indiana from 1831 to 1846, engaged in a personal combat. They were fined five dollars for engaging in bellicose activities. Most of the legal business for the first two or three years, after the admission of Indiana to the Union, in Frank- lin county was done by Hendricks, Noble, Mckinney, Stevens, Eggleston and Lane.
The first court of Common Pleas assembled at Brookville, March 4, 1811, and was in charge of Judge Benjamin Mc- Carty, John Templeton and Thomas Brown. At this time, Elijah Sparks, James Dill, James Noble, Stephen C. Stevens and Jesse L. Holman were admitted to practice law.
The following list of lawyers, arranged in the order of their admission to the Franklin bar, contains many of the most noted lawyers of the state. In this list there may be seen United States senators, congressmen, governors, state senators and representatives, members of the Supreme court of Indiana, ministers to foreign countries and scores of law- yers, whose names were once known throughout the state.
