III .- THE COLONIAL GOVERNMENT.
When King Charles IL .. in the years 1603-64 and 1674, granted to his brother James, Duke of York and Albany, the vast province of the New Netherlands, and, forcibly seizing it From the Dutch, its rightful owners, named it New York in honor of the duke, he also granted with it to the duke plenary powers of government over the province.
The duke accordingly exercised his power as sole pro- prietor of this province by Governors of his own appoint- Inent. The first Governor appointed by the duke as pro- prietor was Governor Richard Nicolls, Sept. 8, 1664, and the last wirs Governor Thomas Dongan, Ang. 27, 1683. It was under the Duke of York as proprietor that, on the Ist day of November, 1683, Governor Dongan divided the province into ten counties, and named them after the duke and the king and family, as described in Chapter II.
But on the 6th day of February, 1685, the Duke of York ascended the throne of England as JJames IL., and his title as proprietor to the province merged in his crown, and it henceforth ceased to be a charter government.
From that time for a period of ninety years, up to the war of the Revolution, the colony of New York was a royal government, with a constitution resembling that of Great Britain.
EXECUTIVE POWER.
The executive power of the colony was vested in a Gov- ernor appointed by the king, holding office during the royal will, and possessing ample powers. In imitation of the king's privy eouueil, the Governor had a council con- sisting of twelve members, also appointed by the king, and holding their office during the royal will and pleasure. With the Governor, any three of them made a quorum.
LEGISLATIVE POWER.
The legislative body of the province consisted of the Governor, representing the king; of the Council, who stood in the place of the House of Lords; and of the representa- tives of the people, corresponding to the House of Commons in England.
Of these representatives, each of the ten counties sent two; the township of Schenectady, the borough of West- chester, and the three manors of Rensselaerswyck, Living- ston, and Cortland cach sent one, making in all a body of twenty-five representatives. After the erection of the four new counties of Cumberland, Gloucester, Tryon, and Char- lotte, it made a body of thirty-three representatives.
The legislative body so constituted was called the Gen- eral Assembly. With the advice of his Council, the Gov- erpor had full power to convene, adjourn, prorogue, or dis- solve the General Assembly, as he should judge necessary.
LAWS.
The common law of England was considered as the fun- damental law of the province.
THE JUDICIAL POWER.
First, there was a Court of Chancery, in which the Gov- crnor sat as chancellor. The officers of this court were a master of the rolls, two masters, two clerks in court, a reg- ister and examiner, and a sergeant-at-arms. Seeond, the Supreme Court ; third, the Court of Common Pleas ; fourth, Justices' Courts. These courts were the models after which the early courts of the State were Formed, and their powers were similar to the carly State courts of the same name described below.
IV .- EARLY STATE COURTS.
The courts of the State, at the time of the formation of this county, were
1. The Court of Errors, consisting of the lieutenant- governor, the senators, the chancellor, and the judges of the Supreme Court. This court had sole power to try im- peachments, and a general appellate jurisdiction over the courts below.
2. The Court of Chancery, with exclusive jurisdiction in equity causes.
3. The Supreme Court of Judication, consisting of a chief justice and three puisne judges. This court sat in Lane, and heard appeals from the courts below.
4. The Circuit Court, which was held in cach county at least once in every year by one of the judges of the Su- preme Court. It had jurisdiction over all issues of law.
97
CIVIL JUST.
5. A Court of Common Pleas in each county. This court consisted of a first judge and at least three other judges, and had jurisdiction over all actions at law arising within the comty.
6. The Court of Oyer and Terminer. This was a crim- inal branch of the Circuit Court, and was presided over by a circuit judge and at least three commissioned justices of the peace of the county, of whom one might be a county judge.
7. The Court of General Sessions. This was a criminal court, held by any three of the justices of the peace of the county, and of which a judge of Common Pleas must always be a member.
In March, 1778, an act was passed directing the sheriff of Ulster County to compute mileage from the house of Mrs. Ann Du Bois, au innkeeper in New Paltz.
The first court in Ulster was organized in 1661, and Roelofi Swartwout was appointed sheriff. Levi Pawling was First Judge; Egbert Drummond, Sheriff; and Joseph Gasherie, Surrogate,-the first county officers under the State government.
The first election in Ulster County under the constitu- tion of 1777 was held at the " court-honse, in Kingston, at the house of Anu Du Bois, in New Paltz, at the house of Sarah Hill, in Hanover precinct, and at the house of Martin Wygant, in the precinct of Newburgh."
The first Court of Sessions in Ulster began its sitting on the 25th of April, 1672, and was held semi-annually on that date and the 25th of October. Every party seek- ing redress through it, had to give a notice of eight days to the clerk of the court. Delaval assured all they could always appeal to the laws of England.
The first session of the Court of Common Pleas of Ulster County, after the fire, commenced at the house of Johannes Tack, in Marbletown, May 5, 1778. The judges were Levi Pawling and Direk Wynkoop, Jr., and the assistant justices Johannes Sleght, Nathan Smith, and Patrick Barber.
