The lawyers appearing in these courts were Elisha Hinds, Henry A. Bellows, Edmund Carleton, Calvin Ainsworth, Jr., William Burns, and Harry Bingham, of this town ; Edmund Burke, of Whitefield, and Goodall & Woods, of Bath. The record is usually written out by counsel for the plaintiff. The first case in which the name of Henry A. Bellows appears is Levi Runnels v. Samuel C. Bemis, entered April 5, 1828; judgment was recov- ered for $7.59, damages and costs taxed at $3.11. Quite likely this was the first suit brought by this young lawyer in this town ; certainly it was the first entered on the docket of the local magistrate.
John Farr, Simeon B. Johnson, Edward O. Kenney, and Wil- liam J. Bellows were in later years among the local magistrates most in demand for the trial of litigated matters within the jus- tice's jurisdiction.
In 1874 the Legislature passed an act creating a police court in the town, and John L. Foster was appointed justice, and Charles B. Griswold, special justice, both of whom were commissioned Sep- tember 10, 1874. Mr. Foster was a practising attorney ; he re-

moved to Lisbon in 1877, and resigned the position of justice of the court at that time. He was a man of dignified bearing, solid acquirements in his profession, and had gained a considerable practice at the time he decided to go to the adjoining town. He died in 1898.
It does not appear in the records of the court that Mr. Griswold assumed the duties to which he was appointed. At the time of his appointment he was book-keeper for C. & C. F. Eastman. He had held the office of Register of Deeds, and, upon the reor- ganization of the State courts in 1874, he was made Clerk of Courts for Grafton County, holding the office until his resignation in 1892. He was then succeeded by Dexter D. Dow of this town, the present incumbent.
Upon the resignation of Judge Foster, John Farr was ap- pointed, and served until 1880, when he resigned, and his son, Captain George Farr, was appointed to the vacancy and held the position fifteen years. He died in March, 1895. These judges of this court served the public with ability, and held the scales with even balance.
Albert Stillman Batchellor was appointed special justice of the court in 1877, and upon the death of Judge George Farr was appointed justice, and has held the office since March 29, 1895. Lewis B. Heald became special justice in 1897, and resigned in 1899 to accept the office of deputy collector of internal revenues.
Marshall D. Cobleigh became the successor of Special Justice Heald, but held the position little more than a year, resigning when he removed from town. Harry M. Morse was his successor in the position. He was appointed July 10, 1900, and still holds the office.
Soon after the court was created, it established the custom of holding its sessions in the office of Elbert C. Stevens, and later it had quarters in the Casino Building in the rear of Union Block. When the town building was erected, spacious quarters were provided in it, and they have ever since been occupied for the business and sessions of the court.
From the date of the establishment of the court in 1874 until 1880, the justices of the court had a fixed salary of $100 per annum.
The town at the March meeting in 1880, on motion of Mr. John M. Mitchell, formally recommended to the governor that William J. Bellows be appointed Police Judge, to succeed John Farr, whose term of office would expire by constitutional limitation May 22, 1880.1 This memorial of the town was addressed to Governor

Head and his council. Major Evarts W. Farr, brother of Captain George, was a member of this council. The vote of the town in favor of Major Bellows was disregarded by the governor and council, and Captain Farr was appointed. At. a special town meeting held May 1, 1880, a vote was passed, on motion of Mr. Mitchell (J. M.), rescinding the vote of the town passed March 10, 1874,1 and abolishing the salary provided for the justice by that act of the town.2 Other votes passed at the same meeting care- fully circumscribed the powers of the court in all practicable ways. The grounds upon which the action of the town was ostensibly predicated in Mr. Mitchell's resolution, which recommended Major Bellows for the office, was that the court was of sufficient impor- tance to demand the services of an experienced and competent lawyer, and on this test the qualifications of Major Bellows were unquestioned. The episode was a stirring one at this time, and as both the gentlemen named at the time for the office were stanch Republicans, the division of the voters on the subjects in contro- versy was not strictly on the lines which divided the existing political parties. One fact is very manifest, and that is that there was earnest and deep-seated opposition to the appointment of Captain Farr.
In the annals of the town, extending from 1850 to 1860, will be found a brief account of the only effort that has been made to secure for Littleton the dignity of being a shire town, by an at- tempt to create a new county of which the town was to be the capital. This failed, but the hope that it might ultimately be successful was not abandoned until the county seat was removed from Haverhill Corner to Woodsville, in 1890.3 This change was so obviously for the advantage of the people of the county that the question of a division is not likely to be again raised for many years to come.
A successful movement was started in 1890 to have sessions of the United States District and Circuit Courts for the District of New Hampshire held in Littleton.
The courts of the United States, since the formation of the

3 The County Convention, by a vote passed in 1889, determined upon a removal of the county courts and other county business from Haverhill Corner to Woodsville, both in the town of Haverhill. The new county building at Woodsville was con- structed in 1889 and 1900. The September term of the Supreme Court, 1890, was the first one held at Woodsville. Ira Whitcher was the executive member of the committee which had charge of the erection of the court house at Woodsville. His report is in pamphlet form, and gives a full history of the enterprise. He encountered some litigation in the business, which was determined in his favor. See Grafton County v. Whitcher, 67 N. H. 582.

federal government, have taken a prominent and most impor- tant position with reference to the litigation of the entire country. . The volume of civil business in certain districts is ordinarily small, as compared with the number of cases pending in the State courts, inasmuch as statutes limit the litigation which may be brought in the federal courts. Although the volume of business may be small, yet the amounts involved in such litigation are of great magnitude, and the questions of law raised are vital and of far-reaching consequence. In the judges of the United States courts we find men who have attained eminent distinction while engaged in the practice of the law, so that their decisions com- mand universal respect.
The United States is divided into nine circuits, the respective circuits being again divided into districts. Thus the State of New Hampshire comprises the district of New Hampshire, which, together with Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, forms the first circuit.
In the district of New Hampshire three terms of the circuit court are held annually : at Portsmouth, on the eighth day of May ; at Littleton, on the last Tuesday in August ; and at Concord, on the eighth day of October. District courts are held at Ports- mouth, on the third Tuesdays of March and September ; at Little- ton, on the last Tuesday in August ; and at Concord, on the third Tuesday of June and December.
The Hon. Edgar Aldrich, of Littleton, is the presiding judge for the district of New Hampshire. He was appointed on the twentieth day of February, 1891.
The first efforts towards obtaining a session of the United States courts at Littleton were instituted by Mr. Aldrich, then in practice of the law at Littleton, to whom it was manifest that the litiga- tion of the north country demanded a session of the courts at some point north of Concord. At his request a special meeting of the Board of Trade of Littleton was called for the fourth day of April, 1890, " to see what action the board would take in regard to making an effort to obtain a session of the United States Circuit Court at Littleton." At that meeting it was voted, on motion of A. S. Batchellor, " that a committee of three, of whom the Presi- dent of the Board should be one, and the other two to be desig- nated by him, be appointed to raise a sufficient sum of money to defray the expenses of a delegation to Washington, and that it is the sense of this meeting that the time is opportune, and that Edgar Aldrich and James R. Jackson be authorized to go to Washington next Monday, April 7, to take such steps as are neces-

sary or expedient in their judgment for the purpose expressed in the vote of the Board of Trade looking toward the establishment of a term of the United States Circuit Court and a public building at Littleton."
The committee appointed under the preceding vote consisted of the president, Charles C. Smith, Albert S. Batchellor, and Oscar C. Hatch. This committee reported the following resolu- tion, which was adopted by the meeting: " Resolved, that the Board of Trade hereby appropriate a sum not exceeding two hundred dollars to be employed in procuring legislation for the establishment of an United States Circuit Court and government building at Littleton."
The next meeting of the Board of Trade was held on the twenty-eighth day of April, 1890, at which time Edgar Aldrich reported that, in pursuance of the vote passed at the preceding meeting, James R. Jackson and himself had been to Washington and conferred with members of Congress, and that in all proba- bility a term of court could be obtained. At this meeting Wil- liam H. Mitchell was appointed a committee to confer with Harry Bingham in regard to obtaning assistance from the Democratic senators and representatives.
In April, 1891, the Board of Trade again took action in the matter, and sent Daniel C. Remich and James R. Jackson as agents to Washington. They were successful in securing the ap- proval of the Committee on Judiciary of the Senate and House of Representatives of the bill then pending for the establishment of the court.
The following resolution was adopted at a meeting of the Board of Trade, February 5, 1892: " Resolved, that the matter of send- ing an agent to Washington to secure action relative to the United States court bill be left to the executive committee of the Board of Trade with full power to send such agents as the situation may require."
No action was taken by the board, for the reason that it was learned a few days after that the bill had passed both Houses of Congress and would soon become a law. The act 1 was approved on the tenth day of March, 1892.
From its inception the measure had the invaluable assistance of Senators Chandler and Gallinger and Representatives Mckinney and Daniel.
1 " Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that hereafter there shall be held annually, on the last Tuesday of August, a term of the circuit and district courts for the district of New Hampshire, in the town of Littleton in said district."
606
History of Littleton.
In accordance with this act of Congress the first session of the United States Circuit Court was held at Littleton on the nineteenth day of July, 1892, by adjournment from the May term held at Ports- mouth. In the absence of a court room, the hearing was held at the Oak Hill House. The Hon. Thomas L. Nelson, District Judge for the District of Massachusetts, presided. The matter under consideration was a motion to remand to the State courts of New Hampshire the action of The Town of Monroe v. The Con- necticut River Lumber Company et als. In this action Bingham, Mitchell & Batchellor, and James W. Remick appeared for the plaintiff ; Drew, Jordan & Buckley, and Bingham & Bingham, for the defendants.
The first regular session of the United States courts was held at Littleton on the thirtieth day of August, 1892, in the court quarters in Opera Block, which had been leased on the first day of July preceding for a term of ten years. There were present Judges Hon. Thomas L. Nelson and Hon. Edgar Aldrich, and also Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. At this time James W. Remick, of Littleton, was District Attorney, Adams T. Peirce, of Dover, Marshal, and Fremont E. Shurtleff, of Concord, Clerk.
A grand and petit jury were in attendance, and much civil and criminal business was disposed of.
Since the August term, 1892, annual terms of the Circuit and District Courts have been held at Littleton, at which many impor- tant civil cases have been tried, among them being those of Croteau v. Berlin Mills Co., Anderson v. Berlin Mills Co., Spaulding & Son v. Burgess Sulphite Fibre Co., Cryan, Adm'r, v. Hastings Lumber Co., Garland, Adm'r, v. Hastings Lumber Co. Another important feature has been the special term every two years for the purpose of naturalization. On such occasions large numbers from the entire north country have availed themselves of the privilege of being naturalized in the United States court.
The present officials of the United States courts are, besides the Hon. Edgar Aldrich, District Judge, Charles J. Hamblett, of Nashua, District Attorney, Eugene P. Nute, of Farmington, Mar- shal, and Burns P. Hodgman, formerly of Littleton, but now of Concord, Clerk.
On the first day of July, 1901, rooms for the use of the court were leased in the National Bank Block, where, until a govern- ment building is erected, the sessions of the court will be held.
