For many years prior to the Civil War, the enforce- ment of justice in the county was, by constitutional enact- ment, in the hands of the Justices of the Peace, one of their number being chosen as presiding justice, a given number constituting a court. The compensation was very small, there was only the honor of the position, and the consideration that a presiding justice, after so many years serving, was to succeed to the shrievalty, which paid very well. Such men as those whose names are here given served as presiding justice from 1830 to 1860, and gave luster to the office: John Lumpkin, Alexander Fleet, Thomas Haynes, John R. Bagby, Sam- uel Tunstall, Robert Courtney, Robert Bland, Robert Spencer, John Pollard, and others. Very many of the older citizens regarded this county court system as un- surpassed in the equitable administration of justice, and never ceased to regret its downfall under the " Under- wood Constitution " after the war.
