" And Also that Newtown Shall begin on The west Side of Moskeno. kunk, where Hardwick bounds on the ss River. Thence aLong the York Line to the Wallkill. Thence up the Wallkill to the Southeast Corner of Wantago Precinct. Thence Along Wantage Line to Ministuct Moun- tuln. Thence Along the foot of the Mountain To Hardwick. Thence Along Hardwick Lino to tho l'ince of Beginning."

Since that date its territory has been lessened by the formation of several townships,-viz., Hardyston, from its northern part, in 1759; Frankford, in 1797; and Byram, in 1798. In 1824, when Newton was one of the nine townships of the newly-formed Sussex, it was still of goodly size; but in 1845, Sparta was created from portions of Newton, Hardyston, Frank- ford, and Byram, and the same year Lafayette from Newton and Frankford. A division of the township of Newton, in March, 1864, resulting in the formation of Andover and Hampton, leaves Newton as at pres- unt constituted, the merest fragment of its once large domain.

In 18445, before Hampton and Andover were set off, Newton had a population of 3857 ; in 1870, after they had been formed, it had only 2403 inhabitants.

The following is the principal portion of the enact- ment which organized the present town of Newton, and which defines its boundaries, powers, etc. :

" .in .tet to create the Town of Newton, and the Torenships of .Indorer and Hampton, out of the Township of Newton, in the County of Sussex.

" BE IT ENACTED by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey, That all that part of Nowton township in the county of Sus- sex, adjoining the lines of the townships of Green, Byram, Sparta, and Lafayette, which Hes southerly and onstwarilly of the following line, unmoly : beginning In the line between the townships of Green and Now- tou, where the highway leading past tho late residence of Old Wilson, dlecensed, croeses sald line, and running from thenco to the Devil's Hole (wo called), on or near the Hno between the farms of Wm.

M Babbitt and John Ml. Carter, Jun., and from thence to the bridge over the stream crossing the highway near the farmhouse of W'm. M. Babbitt; thence to a print of woods, where one fence intersects another on the farm belong- ing to the heirs of John A. Horton, deceased, a short distance westwarilly of the mansion-house on sald farm ; from thence to o point in the high- way lending from Newton to Washingtonville, where the lands of Geo. M. Ryerson and Dennis Cochran corner upon said highway; thence along the line between their lands and following the line of said Ryer- son's land, until it intersects the said ditch made by tho l'auling's Kill Meadow Company ; thence down the said ditch to the lino of Lafayette township, be und the same is hereby set off into a new township to be called the township of Hampton. . . .

"9. And be it enacted, That all the residue of the said townshipof New- ton, and which Is boundled partly by the line herein described, which sepamtes it from Andover township, and partly by the line herein de- scribed, which separates it from Hampton township, shall bo and is hereby created n borough or town corporate, which shall be called und known by the name of 'The Town of Newton,' and the inhabitants thereof shall be and hereby are Incorporated by that nume, . . . and by the said corporato namo they shall be known in law, and shall be copa- ble of sning and being sued," etc.

"10. And be it enacted, That the said corporation. ' The Town of Now- ton,' and the fububitants thereof, shall be entitled to all the power, and privileges, and subject to the samo duties, regulations, restrictions, and liabilities, as the inhabitants of the several townships of the said county of Sussex are or may be entitled or subject to by tho general laws of the Stato," etc.

"11. . And be it enacted, That the Inhabitants of the said ' Town of New- ton' shall hold their first town-meeting at the court-houso in the villago of Newton, on the second Monday in April next onsning."

[Sections 12 and 13 relate to judges and clerks of elections, nud justices of the peace, their duties, etc. Section 14 provides for the election, in the place of overseers of the highways, annually, " of u snitablo person, boing n resident and landowner in said town, as superintendout of roads and streets, wlw shall havo charge of all the roads and streets and side- walks within tho said town," with authority to "make, form, work, ond repair" the same, " and to remove all oletructions and nuisances there- on ;" and to expend such money as may be furnished him, "or which tho lown committee, or any four of them, may authorize him to expend for such purpose," etc. Section 15 meserts that the 25th andl 35th sections of the net entitled " An Act concerning Ronds" shall not apply to nor bo In force in the town of Newton, and " it shall bo ileetued and taken that the town of Newton havo elected and determined to maintain their high- ways by hire."]

paid for bounties to volunteers eredited to Newton township, and to ap- portion the same between the two newly-formed townships and the town of Newton.

Sections 19, 20, and 21 nppertain to the manner of raising money by taxation, etc. The final section (22) recites "that this act shall take effect immediately ; provided, that the present officers of the said town of Newton shall be and remain in office, and exercise the powers nnd be subject to the duties conferred upon them by law, until the second Mon- day in April next."]

This act may be found in full in the "Session Laws" of 1864, pages 196 to 202. It was approved and became a law March 10, 1864.

A supplement to the act creating the town of New- ton makes it unlawful for cattle, horses, mules, sheep, goats, and swine to run at large, and provides for the impounding of the same; approved April 2, 1869. Another supplement (approved Feb. 4, 1874) gives the town committee charge of the streets, defines their powers, allows them to borrow and raise money, to make contracts for lighting the streets, etc.

The only change subsequently to the erection of the town of Newton in its bounds was in 1869 (approved March 24th), the text of which is as follows :*

" An Act to set of a part of the Township of Andover to the Town of Newton in the County of Sussex.

"1. BE IT ENACTED," etc., " That all that part of the township of An- dover, . . . lying next to and adjoining the town of Newton, that is bounded by the following courses and distances-to wit, beginning ut one of the corners of the town of Newton, near the dwelling-house of Benjamin F. Sherwood (formerly Halsted F. Townsend's), said eorner being where a small stream of water crosses the road from Newton to Sparta, and under the railroad from Nowton to Waterloo; thence (1) from the southerly edge of the culvert south 39º east 23 chains and 25 links to the southeast corner of Capt. G. Fitts' lot, near a butterant-tree; (2) south 43º 45' west 4 chains to a basswood-treo marked with n blaze aod three notches on four sides; (3) north 51º 10' west until it intersects the line of the town of Newton, running from the Devil's Hole to the aforementioned eulvert-shall be set off from the said township of An- dover, and shall becopie n part of the said town of Newtoo, and shall be subject to the said town of Newton in her corporate capacity.

"2. And be it enacted, That this net shall take effect immediately."

The following-named citizens served as chosen free- holders of Newton township. The list, from the for- mation of the township down to the year 1791, is from an old volume of records of the "Justices and Free- holders of Sussex County," rescued from the dust and obliviont of an old desk in the waiting-room to the grand-jury room in Newton. The persons who are named in this list, prior to 1800, were among the pio- neers of "old New Town," taking part not only in its civil, but in its social, industrial, and religious affairs, many of them prominently identified with the settle- ment and growth of what is now not only the town of Newton, but also the townships of Frankford, Sparta, Lafayette, Andover, and Hampton.

EARLY RECORDS.

Moses Ayres had a hand in repairing the court- house in 1769. The county collector's account for that year contains the following item :

" Per Contra, Cr., . . . Nov. 29th, By Cafh paid Moses Ayres Efqr in part of his demand for repairing the Courthouse ns per Rect, the sum of £12."

In 1761 and 1762 the board of freeholders met at the house of Henry Hairlocker, in 1763 and 1764 at the house of Amos Pettit, and in 1765 at Ephraim Darby's. After this time that body usually met at the court- house. In 1784, Jonathan Willis was allowed £1 18. 8d. " for finding candles for the court."

Amos Pettit figured prominently in the civil affairs of township and county. In 1770 he was ordered by the freeholders to sell all the county arms " that he can collect, at next court, according to the former directions of this board, or at privet sail as oppertunity may sarve, and that the county collector do Inspect sd

+ It is safe to say that very few of the living inhabitants of the county were aware of the existence of this volume, as repeated inquiries for re- cords of this class have failed to develop their whereabouts. This book is n " mine" for the historian, Musty, yellow with age, leather-warped, and loose-lenved ne it is, it has been liberally drawn upon and used os docu- mentary proofs to verify inany of the statements advanced in this history, some of which, perchance, may conflict with and overturn okl traditions and local loro.

In the county collector's account for 1770 is this item : "By cash paid Michael Ayrs, being his fees as freeholder for raising mony for wolves' heads, the sum of 78. 6d.," and to "Moses Ayrs (Ayres) 15s." for wolf-sealps the same year.

Timothy Symmes was county collector in 1780.

Jacob Stoll was assessor of Newton township in 1781-82, and Peter Dewitt collector. The account of the latter for the Continental tax of 1781 will give an idea of the finances of the township at this period :

In 1783, when Heory Johnson was collector of the township, the tax was a trifle over £768, and it was not till 1790 that the "per contra" side of the account balanced it. War times made heavy taxes, and they were difficult and slow of collection. The two cases above mentioned are not isolated ones; they are but similitudes of the other towns at that time.

William Perine, one of Newton's frechoklers, also served as jailer.# That office was no sinecure in those days. The old jail was so insecure that escapes fro- quently occurred; a special guard was necessary to be kept over the prisoners, for the board of whom the authorities were unwilling to pay much,¿ by reason

of the heavy jail expense and the uncertainty of their being held until ready for trial. | In 1790-six years before the first newspaper was founded here-a pillory was built."

June 8, 1784 :

"Ordered, to exchange a Lot of Land with Mr. Willit+ ** to give about four square Ruds fronting the Late Dwelling-house of Doctor Hulings for about twelve Squuro IUxls to the west of the Court-Hlouse folning to the same."

George Rorbach was keeper of the jail for many years. In 1794 he presented bills to the freeholders, in which oecur the following items :

" Nov. 21, 3 days bonndling Phillla, slave of John Binir, etc .. 44. 0d. ; boarding Nancy, a slave of Elishin and Elijah Warner, from 16 Nov., 2704, till 13 May, 1795, £11 líts."

Such items were common in those days, odd as they may now seem.

In an " Account of Militia Fines and Exempt Money returned to George Armstrong, Esq., during his collectorship,-viz., from the passing of the law, 1793, to 1795, inclusively,"-the township of Newton figures only in the first-named year, with nineteen exempts and £21 7x. Gid. of fines.

In 1797, John Johnson presented a bill for repairs of court-house, €38 148. 3d., and Henry Sillcock, " for erecting gallows for execution of Matthias Gotlieb, £4 18." The old stone court-house seems to have needed repairs very soon after it was erected, and al- most every year the records recall the fact to our at- tention. In 1798, William 1. Ryerson and Charles Pemberton were the committee to superintend repairs on court-house and jail.

The following shows who were the township col- lectors, and the amount of the tax assessed for the years named :

In 1801 the freeholders resolved to build a fireproof clerk's office in Newton on the "green," and appro- priated $800 for the same; W. A. Ryerson and John Johnson were appointed a building committee.tt The regular annual repairs of court-house for this

year were of the steps in front and of the cupola, new steps being built at the back door. Benjamin Griggs was the superintendent of repairs in 1803. In 1807 the high sheriff entered his protest that the jail was insufficient to seenre prisoners. The next year, 1808, the inhabitants of the village of Newton applied to the board of freeholders "for liberty to build a mar- kett-house on the green ;" permission was granted and the location fixed. There is nothing showing that it was ever built.

At this time the good people of Newton became concerned for the welfare of the public buildings, as shown by the following :

" A memorial from a number of the inhabitants of Newton praying the board to take some order respecting the court-room to prevent its beiog abused by individuals; wherenpon the board did resolve that there be a lock purchased by the sheriff at the expense of the county, and put on the middle door of the court-room, and that the sheriff keep the key thereof, and that no person have access to said room uoless at times of some public business or meetings of a public nature, preaching, etc."

It was also " Resolved, That the sheriff be instructed to prohibit any fire bring kept in the garret of the court-honse; that he also prohibit any carpenter or coopering work done therein, and that the prisoners on the limits have privilege of dressing or cooking their provisions at the fire of the jail kitchen, subject to their good bebavior."

In 1811, William T. Anderson was attorney for the county. May 11, 1825, the board resolved to build a surrogate's office, appropriated $500, and appointed a committee to select a site, etc. The committee re- ported, recommended that it be built at the east end of the clerk's office, of same width, and 25 feet in length.

In 1826, Maj. William T. Anderson was instructed to use the authority of the board to keep the public green in Newton clear of obstructions.

In 1827 :

" Ordered, that $2 be paid to Isaac Wintermute for his services, assist- ing to survey 8 acres for jail limits in 1826."

1831 :

" A claim was presented by James Beatty, under oath, for whipping three individuals, which was allowed and ordered to be paid, amount three dollars."

Nearly every year since 1800 had the several sheriff's protested against the insufficiency of the jail, and frequent repairs had been ordered, yet in 1832 it was all but in ruin, according to the report of the inspec- tion committee. They said, " A part of the wall in the front jail has entirely given way, the stones have fallen out, and is in immediate want of a thorough repair," and, as to the court-room, "the windows throughout want overhauling, the sills, sash, casings, and bottoms of the frames are wasted by time and rottenness." Maj. Thomas Teasdale, John Dill, Esq., and John H. Hall were appointed to superintend the repairs, which were made to the extent of $143.73. And yet, in May, 1834, Sheriff Uzal C. Hagerty reports the jail as being insecure.

The court-house and jail was destroyed by fire Jan. 28, 1847. Measures were at once taken by the board of freeholders to rebuild on the old site, but of in- creased size, to meet the wants of the county. Various

citizens of Newton tendered their obligations to the board in order that the public buildings might be re- placed without delay. The building committee were William T. Anderson, Joseph Greer, Nathan Drake, Robert Hamilton, and James R. Hull.

1856 .- Whitfield S. Johnson and George T. Smith " were made a committee to superintend the public green and buildings belonging to the county for the ensuing year."

1860 .- The overseers of roads for the several dis- tricts of the township, and amounts of road money appropriated to each, for that year, were as follows :
