The foregoing, however, is not the only instance of the hidden art in our annals. In 1695, John Roman and his two sons, residing in Chichester, were re- ported to be students of astrology and other forbidden mysteries. The public tongue had so discussed the matter that on the 9th of Tenth month, 1695, Con- cord Monthly Meeting gravely announced that " the study of these sciences bring a vaile over the under- standing and a death upon the life." John Kings- man and William Hughes were ordered to speak to the parties, and have them attend at next monthly meeting. The offenders were seen, and stated that if it could be shown wherein it was wrong, they would desist from further investigation in those arts. For several months the matter was before Concord Meet- ing, without resulting in suppressing the dreaded evil, and early in 1695, Chester Quarterly Meeting had the case of the Romans before that body for having practiced Rhabdomancy, or consulting with a staff, and such like things. In other words, the Romans had faith in the efficacy of the divining-rod,

a belief which has not entirely died away. The grand jury, however, learning of the matter, presented Robert Roman for the dire offense, and, in order to eradicate the wickedness, they presented the following books: "Hidons Temple of Wisdom, which teaches Geo- mancy, and Scot's discovery of Witchcraft, and Corne- lias Agrippas teach Necromancy," Whereupon the jus- tices ordered " as many of these book as can be found," should be bronght to the court. We have no infor- mation whether the books were brought, but Robert Rowan was, when, on submission to the conrt, he was fined five pounds and costs, promising that he would never more practice the art, but behave himself well for the future. He was discharged. Since which time our records show no further allusion to witch- craft.

In the case of David Lloyd vs. James Sandelands, called at the court held 3d day of Fourth month, 1690, John White appeared as attorney for plaintiff, and doubtless at the suggestion of Lloyd, who was a well- read and shrewd lawyer, the former interposed a tech- nical challenge to the array of the jury, or as the quaint record states it, "alleged that ye jury was not Lawfully summoned soe would not com to tryall." The defendant, who appeared in person, therefore craved a nonsuit on the refusal of the plaintiff to pro- ceed with the case. The justices, as previously stated, abhorring sharp points of law, summarily disposed of the legal difficulty, for it "being referred to ye court ye court granted the same." This decision may have been just; but surely there was no occasion for the justice at the court held on the 10th day of Tenth month, 1700, when complaint had been lodged before that tribunal, stating that liquor was sold by a par- ticular individual without having received the ap- proval of the session, to have tantalizingly told George Oldfield, when called before the bar to produce his license, " but he having none, the court ordered him to get one if he can forthwith."

The reasons assigned by William and Mary, when, on Oct. 20, 1693, they superseded Penn's authority by appointing Col. Benjamin Fletcher Governor of Penn- sylvania, were doubtless not the true motives prompt- ing the act, but certain it is, that in the end their Majesties' had faith resulted beneficially for the peo- ple. The difficulties which had occurred between the legislative body and the executives of Penn's select- ing, showed that the popular mind was determined to adhere to constitutional rights and forms under the charter, but the natural feeling of respect for the pro- prietary personally softened the bitterness of the struggle. When, however, a stranger, a usurper in a measure, and an overbearing man with whom the people were not in sympathy, was placed in authority, nothing but the naked possession of power remained to hold the public in obedience. But when that man undisguisedly informed the General Assembly that the laws and model of the government were dis- allowed and at an end, and threatened the province

with annexation to New York or Maryland, it awak- ened the open resistance of David Lloyd, the master- mind in the colony, whose courage was of that un- flinching kind which never hesitates in the defense of honest opinion, and whose address in debate and knowledge of law peculiarly fitted him to lead at that juncture the party advocating the rights of the people. To this day the citizens of Pennsylvania and the Union are reaping the benefits resulting from the sturdy battle made by that brave Quaker lawyer for popular liberty nearly two centuries ago, for be it un- derstood, David Lloyd dared even to stand between Penn and the accomplishment of the purposes of the latter when he believed that the object could only be obtained by interfering with the general welfare of the province. David Lloyd was the first lawyer we have knowledge of residing within the county. His first appearance in the Assembly was as a Represen- tative from Chester County in 1693. The following year he was Speaker of that body, and in that capacity bore the full blunt of Governor Fletcher's wrath. He was the father of the bar of Pennsylvania, and to him, above all others, is due the credit of assimila- ting the crude legislation of that early period into a system of jurisprudence, while the acts which moulded our tribunals of justice into form, and invested them with clearly-defined powers and jurisdiction, were in the majority of instances either drafted in whole or revised by that eminent lawyer, whose learning and integrity lent lustre to the Supreme Court, wherein for fourteen years he presided as the chief justice of the province. David Lloyd should ever be held in grateful remembrance by the people of the State, for whose lasting welfare he did so much.

By the act of Oct. 27, 1701, county courts were re- quired to be held at the town of Chester on the third day of the last week in February, May, August, and November. Three justices constituted a quorum, and they were empowered to deliver the gaols, award pro- cess, and hold all manner of pleas of the crown, ex- empting felonies punishable with death. The civil jurisdiction covered all classes of actions, and the practice was to conform as nearly as possible to that of the Common Pleas of England, while in declara- tion and pleas brevity, plainness, and verity were re- quired, and " all fictions and color in pleadings" to be avoided. They had equity powers, and all matters of maritime disputes not cognizable in the Court of Admiralty were to be heard and determined at the county courts. Appeals were allowed from the final judgment of these tribunals, the party appellant en- tering security as at present.

in the counties outside of Philadelphia unless cases were pending there for trial, and commissions of oyer and terminer were issued by the Governor. The act of 1710 was in 1713 repealed by Queen Anne, and on the 20th of July, 1714, Lieutenant-Governor Gookins, following the precedent of Governor Evans, pub- lished an ordinance of like tenor establishing the sev- eral courts in the province. One of the three Supreme justices could hold circuit court under the act of May 22, 1722, but by the act of May 20, 1767, although the Supreme bench was increased to four members, it would seem that all the judges were required to ride circuit twice a year if occasion demanded, and the expenses of the judges and clerk of the Supreme Court, with their servants, in the event of there being court held in any of the counties, were to be paid by that county during the session therein. The judges and their attendants were to be conveyed over any ferry in the province " without paying any ferriage, fee, or reward for the same."

The Courts of Common Pleas in the several counties continued to exercise in main the jurisdiction con- ferred on the county courts by the act of Oct. 27, 1701. During our colonial history all the courts were fre- quently subject-matter of legislative enactments. When Governor Evans and the Assembly could not agree on a law relative to the courts, for the act of Oct. 27, 1701, had been repealed by the order of Queen Anne's Council, Feb. 7, 1705, and his Excellency had on two several occasions ordered all the courts in the province to adjourn because of her majesty's action, on the Eleventh month 2, 1707, the Governor published an ordinance establishing courts of justice. This au- thority he claimed he could exercise under the charter to Penn when the welfare of the province required it. The particulars of the protracted struggle between the Assembly and Governor Evans belong to the history of the State as a whole, hence do not come within the scope of this work. In this ordinance, however, the Governor provided for special sessions of the County Court of Common Pleas every six weeks, which should be held by two justices for the return of process. It also provided that a special Court of Common Pleas could be held in cases where the de- fendants were about to remove out of the province, such defendant or defendants making request for such court to sit. In these extraordinary courts the costs were double those at ordinary sessions. The Courts of Quarter Sessions, as distinctive from the County Court, first appear in Governor Evans' ordinance in 1707, and were directed to be held in Chester on the last Tuesdays of February, May, August, and Novem- ber, the Common Pleas beginning on Wednesday fol- lowing. By act of Feb. 28, 1710, the Court of Quarter Sessions could not be held in Chester "above the space of two day," which provision was incorporated into the act of 1715 and May, 1722. On Aug. 26, 1727, the term of the sessions was extended to three days.

The judges of the Supreme Provincial Court were to go on circuit twice in each year, the act requiring such court to be held in Chester on the 2d day of Eighth month and on the 18th day of Second month, for the trial of all felonies and to hear appeals in civil cases. By the act of Feb. 10, 1710, the Supreme justices were not required to go semi-annual circuits | By the act of May 28, 1715, the justices of the Court

of Quarter Sessions were directed "to set such reason- able price ou all Liquors Retailed in publick houses and provender for horses in publick stables, from time to time, as they shall see fit, under the like penalties as in such cases are enacted by the laws and statutes of Great Britain." The records show that this act, and a subsequent one providing for regulating the sale of these articles, was not a dead letter on the statute- book.

By the act of 1710, already mentioned, the judges of the county courts were authorized, in case of dis- puted accounts between copartners and joint tenants, to appoint an auditor or auditors, who "for their pains in awarding such accounts to be paid by the party on whose side the balance appears." This pro- vision was taken from the English statute passed two years before the colonial act was approved, and is the first appearance in our jurisprudence of the appoint- ment of auditors by the court. In the act of Feb. 28, 1710, we find the title prothonotary used for the first time in reference to the county courts, and on May 28, 1715, those officers were directed, after issue joined to prepare a trial list, " which sd Lists shall be pub- lickly set up in the court house during the sitting of the court."

By the act of Sept. 29, 1759, the justices of the Court of Quarter Session were interdicted from being commissioned justices of the Common Pleas. The salary of the justices of the County Courts in colonial days was twenty shillings each for every day so em- ployed. Notwithstanding the meagre pay, the justices held their office in high esteem, and were quick to resent anything which appeared to be contempt of the person or process of the court. The early records furnish many instances in support of this assertion. On 26th of Sixth month, 1702, "John Worrelow, being one of the petty jury for contempt of court by departing from his fellow-jurors and going into an- other province before they gave in their verdict is fined fifty shillings," and on the "1st day of the 7th mo., 1702," Edward Prichett "for his contempt of court in spitting in the face of Walter Faucett in open court is fined twenty shillings."

The following is a list of the justices of Chester County from the Revolution to May 28, 1779, as gath- ered from a letter of Caleb Davis to Council :1

Isaac Davis, Eran Evans James Moore, Beojamin Bartholomew, Daniel Griffith, Patterson Bell, John Haonum, Robert Smith, Philip Scott, Thomas Taylor, Thomas Cheyney, Thomas Levis. Thomas Boyd, William Evans, William Cliogan.

From the same letter we learn that at that date there were no justices in the First District,-Chester, Upper and Lower Chichester, Aston, Bethel, and Middletown; and in the Second District,-Darby, Radnor, and Haverford; or in the Third, -Newtown, East Town, Willistown, and Goshen. Hence almost the whole territory now comprising Delaware County was unrepresented in the bench of justices.

June 4, 1779, Alexander Johnstoo ; Sept. 15, 1779, David Mackey, vice Johnson, declined; March 21, 1780, John Pearson ; Nov. 18, 1780, William Clingan appointed presiding justice of the court ; Dec. 7, 1781, William Haslet ; March 9, 1782, David Mackey ; June 26, 1782, James Beaton, Common Pleas and Orphaos' Court; July 31, 1783, John Bartholomew ; June 5, 1784, George Plerce, Daniel Griffith, Common Pleas ; Sept. 24, 1784, Thomas Levis, Common Pleas ; Oct. 1, 1784, John Ralston ; Oct. 9, 1784, Thomas Cheyney ; Oct. 13, 1784, Cheyney commissioned justice of Common Pleas: Jau. 21, 1785, Philip Scott, Common Pleas; June 16, 1786, Persifor Frazer, Com- mon Pleas; June 22, 1786, William Cliogan, president Court of Common Pleas, Quarter Sessioos, and Orphans' Court; Oct. 9, 1786, Adam Grubb, Richard Hill Morris, Common Pleas; Dec. 22, 1787, John Pearson, Common Pleas; Sept. 16, 1788, Charles Dilworth, John Hannum, Common Pleas; Feb. 16, 1789, William Haslet, Commou Pleas; April 11, 1789, John Worth, Common Pleas; June 5, 1789, David Mackey, Common Pleas ; June 16, 1789, Walter Finney.

The last court held at the borough of Chester before the division of Chester County was on Aug. 29, 1786, and continued by adjournment from day to day to August 31st, when the session ended.

The first court held after the erection of Delaware County was on the 9th of November, 1789, when it was discovered that the commission of Henry Hale Graham, as president judge of the Court of Common Pleas, was irregular, inasmuch that he was not a jus- tice of the peace at the time of his appointment. However, the justices held the court, Justice John Pearson presiding. There being no bar, William Tilghman, who, seventeen years thereafter, was ap- pointed by Governor Mckean chief justice of Penn- sylvania, addressed the court and finally moved his own admission. After Mr. Tilghman had been sworn, he moved the admission of William L. Blair and other lawyers. That day eight gentlemen were qual- ified as members of the bar of Delaware County.

Henry Hale Graham, the first president judge, was born in London, July 1, 1731. His father, William Graham, emigrated to the colony of Pennsylvania in 1733, first settling in Philadelphia, subsequently at Darby, and, finally, at Chester. His son entered the office of Joseph Parker, then deputy register of Penn- sylvania for the county of Chester, and on the former's death, in 1766, was appointed to the vacant position, which included that of prothonotary, register, and re-
