MICHIGAN MANUAL.
DISTRICT COURTS.
Soon after the organization of the territorial government, the governor had divided the territory into four judicial districts, known as the districts of Erie, Huron, Detroit and Michilimackinac. An act was adopted on the twenty-fifth of July, 1805, establish- ing three district courts to be held by the judges of the supreme court, one for the district of Erie, another for the districts of Huron and Detroit, to hold two terms annually each ; and one for the district of Michilimackinac, to hold one annual term. These courts were to have jurisdiction of demands exceeding $20. In 1807 the district courts were made to consist of a chief judge and two associate judges, residents of the district, to be appointed by the governor and to hold office during good behavior.
There are no records in the state department of appointments under this act, but merely entries of the return of two commissions, one by John Anderson, dated April 15, 1807, as chief justice of the district court of the district of Erie, and another to Samuel Abbott, dated July 16, 1807, as associate justice of the district court of the district of Michilimackinac.
These courts were abolished in 1810, and for the next five years there was no inter- mediate court between the supreme and justices' courts.
By an act approved February 27, 1840, "the district court of the county of Wayne" was established, composed of a presiding judge appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, to hold four years and the two associate judges of the circuit court. This court had criminal jurisdiction only, but equal to that of the circuit courts. In 1843 a new act was passed, establishing a district court in each of the counties of Wayne, Oakland, Washtenaw, and Jackson, and the term of office of the presiding judge was lengthened to five years. These courts were all dropped by the revised statutes of 1846, as passed by the legislature, though retained in the original draft of the revision.
Henry Chipman was appointed presiding judge of the Wayne county district court in 1840, and held the office until the change in 1843. Then Benjamin F. H. Witherell was appointed presiding judge for the district courts of the four counties. He held until the court was abolished.
The constitution of 1850 provided that the counties of the upper peninsula and the islands appertaining thereto should constitute a separate judicial district. The district judge was to be elected for the same term, perform the same duties, and possess the same powers as the circuit judges. This court was abolished in 1863. Daniel Goodwin lield the district judgeship until the circuit was organized in the upper peninsula.
COURT OF CHANCERY.
Upon the establishment of a state government, equity and common law jurisdiction was separated and vested in distinct courts. All equity powers were vested in a court of chancery exclusively, save that certain exceptional cases might be taken to the supreme court, and appeals by any person aggrieved by the decree or final order of the court of chancery. This court held sessions, in turn, in each of the circuits into which the state was divided by the act establishing circuit courts. All causes were to be heard and determined in the circuits in which they arose. This court was abolished by the revised statutes of 1846, as passed by the legislature, although the original draft of the revision provided for its continuance, with some modifications intended to simplify and perfect the system. Its jurisdiction was conferred upon the several circuit courts and it has remained there ever since.
The following is a list of chancellors:

JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF MICHIGAN.
CIRCUIT COURTS.
In 1824 the three judges of the supreme court were required to hold an annual terin in each of the counties of Wayne, Monroe, Oakland, Macomb and St. Clair and were authorized to hold special sessions in Crawford, Brown and Michilimackinac counties whenever deemed advisable "in their sound discretion." In 1825 circuit courts were established by name, but were still held by the judges of the supreme court. The circuit court was given original jurisdiction in all civil actions at law where the demand exceeded $1,000, of actions of ejectment, of all criminal cases punishable capitally, and of all cases not exclusively cognizable by other courts, concurrent jurisdiction with county courts in civil actions beyond the jurisdiction of justices of the peace, and of criminal offenses not punishable capitally, and appellate jurisdiction from county courts. The circuits were not changed by this act of 1825. Another act was passed in 1827, repealing the essential provisions of the acts of 1824 and 1825, and providing for two more circuits, viz .: Washtenaw and Lenawee. The same discretionary powers as to holding terms in Crawford, Brown and Michilimackinac counties were continued.
In 1833 the county courts in all the counties of the territory east of Lake Michigan except Wayne were abolished and their places supplied by "the circuit court of the territory of Michigan." It consisted of one circuit judge for the entire circuit, and two associate judges for each county. The circuit judge was appointed for four years and the associate judges for three. The court had both chancery and common law jurisdiction and was given original jurisdiction of civil cases at law and crimes not within the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace and appellate jurisdiction of such as were. It might also determine questions of law arising on motions for new trial or in arrest of judgment. The circuit courts already existing were now called superior circuit courts, and were empowered to issue writs of error to the circuit courts. William A. Fletcher was judge of the circuit court of the territory from the organization of that court until Michigan became a state.
By act approved March 26, 1836, the state was divided into three circuits, and judges of the supreme court were to perform the duties of circuit judges. These courts were given the same powers and jurisdiction as the territorial circuit courts under the act of 1833, except in chancery matters. By the revision of 1846 the court of chancery was abolished and chancery powers conferred upon the several circuit courts. Since then the jurisdiction of circuit courts has been essentially as at present. The constitu- tion of 1850 made the office of circuit judge elective, and the term of office six years. The last act revising the arrangement of the circuits was approved May 29, 1897, and provided for thirty-five circuits. Act No. 15, Public Acts of 1899, created the thirty- sixth circuit. Acts Nos. 40 and 220, P. A. 1901, created the thirty-seventh and thirty- eighth circuits. Act No. 75, P. A. 1907, created the thirty-ninth circuit.
By the constitution of 1909, circuit courts are required to be held four times each year in every county organized for judicial purposes. In addition the legislature is granted power to combine the circuits into judicial districts and provide the manner of holding court in such districts.
PROBATE COURTS.
By act of the governor and judges, adopted August 31, 1805, the courts of the several districts, or any judge of the said territory, or the clerk of the court of the district, were authorized to take the proof of wills and grant letters testamentary and of ad- ministration. In 1811 provision was made for the appointment in each district of a register, with essentially the same powers. Finally, in 1818, a court of probate was established in each county, to be held by some "able and learned person," appointed by the governor, from which court appeal might be taken to the supreme court. These courts continued in operation until after Michigan had become a state.
The revised statutes of 1838 made the office of judge of probate elective, for a term of four years. In different cases appeals were allowed to the circuit, or to the supreme

court. The revision of 1846 provided for direct appeals to the circuit court only. The constitution of 1850 provided for a probate court in each organized county, the judge of which was to be elected for a term of four years.
The new constitution of 1909 gives probate courts original jurisdiction in all cases of juvenile delinquents and dependents. The legislature may provide by law for the election of more than one judge of probate in counties having more than one hundred thousand inhabitants, and may provide for the election of judges in such counties at alternate biennial elections.
COUNTY COURTS.
In 1815 county courts were first established, to be held by one chief and two associate justices appointed by the governor. They had exclusive jurisdiction over all claims exceeding a justice's jurisdiction and not exceeding $1,000, but no jurisdiction in eject- ment. Until 1818 final appeal lay to the county court from justices' courts. Chancery jurisdiction was then given them and provision was made for the appointment of masters in chancery. When the act to establish county courts was passed, Wayne county was the only one organized, and the district of Michilimackinac was excepted from the provisions of the act.
After the establishment of circuit courts the county courts began to decline. Much of their jurisdiction was gradually transferred to the circuit courts and in 1833 they were abolished altogether in the organized counties east of Lake Michigan, except Wayne, by the same act which established the old circuit court of the territory. In Wayne county, and in the western counties of the territory, the county court system was continued until Michigan became a state.
When the revised statutes of 1846 were under consideration, the legislature rejected the original chapter 92, which provided for a continuance of the district courts of the counties of Wayne, Oakland, Washtenaw and Jackson, and in lieu thereof, inserted provisions for county courts. In their new form they were held by two judges, elected for a term of four years, and called respectively "county judge" and "second judge." This court had original and exclusive jurisdiction of all claims above a justices' juris- diction and under $500, excepting actions of ejectment and proceedings in probate cases. It also had appellate jurisdiction over justices' courts. No appeal was allowed in any case determined by a county court, but cases might be removed to the circuit court by certiorari. These courts were abolished by the adoption of the constitution of 1850.
JUSTICES' COURTS.
By an act adopted August 1, 1805, justices of the peace were given cognizance of all claims or penalties not exceeding twenty dollars. The manner of proceeding was by warrant, issued upon application, to bring the defendant forthwith before the justice. Appeal was allowed by a subsequent act to the court of the district. After the abolition of the latter court in 1810, justices were given jurisdiction to try, by consent of parties, all cases of a civil nature wherein the demand did not exceed $100. Upon the establish- ment of county courts in 1815, an appeal thereto was allowed from justices' courts.
Justices of the peace were appointed by the governor during territorial times. The first state constitution, however, provided for their election for a term of four years. The constitution of 1850 contained the same provision.
