The address Mayor Harmanus Welch deliv­ ered at the building's dedication was reprinted in the newspaper, though no other news reports appeared. At the time the Civil War had just begun and war news engaged the public interest. All those who had watched the building rise up along side the marketplace, (or the Green as we know it today) complete with the 150' high clock tower of the city's tallest spire, NEW HAVEN CTIY lWL . greeted one New Haven's many firsts. City Hall, then called the Hall of Records, was now completed and would open the following day. This building was the first city hall in the modern sense, designed specifically for municipal government. Just one year earlier, a committee elected by the "inhabitants of the town" and a group appointed by the common council of the city met, as Mayor Welch stated in his dedication address, "to procure plans and to contract for the erection of a suitable, fireproof building, for safekeeping of the Public Records of the town, city and probate district of New Haven and for the public use of said town, city and probate district." Hew Haven's leading citizens raised $100,000 toward the building's construction. Then on April 2, 1861, Henry Austin, a self-made man typical of the time, an unschooled architect and apprentice to Ithiel Town, was commissioned to design and oversee the project. The building's Victorian Gothic architecture was the latest fashion in England though few people in America were familiar with the style. New Haven City Hall "celebrated the enterprising spirit of the self-made man" and took just one year to complete. It was a very upbeat time and the Hall of Records, new post office and jail all expressed the vigor and excitement of Connecticut's largest city. New Haven was a bustling commercial center. The 1860 New Haven assessment list showed 232 factories, 507 stores, 14 banks, five insurance companies and offices of seven railroad companies. Today, following in a rich tradition, city government returns to New Haven City Hall. Welcome. Enjoy the history and share in the pride of this, our own architectural masterpiece.~ Thank you to Jean Russell Kelley.

In Memory ofJoseph Cinque As a permanent memorial to the Africans who unwittingly played such a major role in "The Amistad Affair," the nascent fight for African American civil rights, which took place in New Haven beginning in 1839, sculptor Ed Hamilton has created In Memory ofJ oseph Onque. This three-sided, I 0-foot-high bronze sculpture depicts Joseph Cinque against three tableaus of the revolt: first, as a Mende warrior in his native Sierra Leone; second, confronting his American jailers as he makes his case for freedom; and third, as he stands on a dock, waiting to board the ship that will take him home. The story of the Amistad revolt is engraved in the memorial's base. In Memory oJJoseph Cinque has been installed outside of New Haven City Hall and will soon be permanently unveiled for public viewing.~ Sections reprinted from New Haven Arts, court~ of The Arts Council ofG reater New Haven.

    The Public Records of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT FROM 1821 TO 1822 VOLUME XXI Edited in accordance with an Act of The General Assembly Douglas M. Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate. Cross-references point to matters discussed elsewhere in this and earlier volumes of the series.

    THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT* By Josk A. CABRANES** Chief Judge Feinberg, Judge Oakes, Mr. Fiske, distinguished guests and friends: I am honored and pleased to be here this afternoon. I am especially pleased because I think it is always salutary to remind New York residents, including judges and lawyers, that there is life (and law) on the far side of the Bronx. I say this, if I may indulge in a snippet of autobiography, as one who spent his childhood in that very borough, and his adolescence in furthest Queens, deep in the Eastern District, until I came, in the ripeness of years and by the grace of Kingman Brewster, and Abraham Ribicoff, to New Haven in the District of Connecticut. That being my personal odyssey, I like to look upon it as a progress of sorts. This is the third of our Second Circuit Historical Lectures. The series can now be said to have something of a history of its own. In preparing these remarks on my own court in the District of Connecticut, I have looked to the lectures of Judge Weinfeld and Judge Nickerson in much the same way that one consults the authorities on a given point of law. Now and again, those lectures have provided me with precedent, but (in the fashion of our profession) from time to time I found it appropriate to distin- guish the early cases. For the District of Connecticut is rather different from its southern - and, as we shall see, junior - cousins.

THE following extracts are selected from the correspondence of Chief Justice David Daggett, in the possession of the Library of Yale University. Judge Daggett was born in Attleborough, Mass., in 1764, and was graduated at Yale in 1783. He remained in New Haven, as a student and practitioner of law, and early became prominent as a leader of the Connecticut Federalists. The first extract presented is from a letter of a classmate on his return from a prospecting tour in the South.. He finally settled in Philadelphia. "BALTIMORE, Oct. 13th, 1786. * * I have lived a very roving life, since my last con- fab with you, and tho' it hath turned out nothing better than barely satiating my curiosity, yet I consider myself richly paid. I find not so great a disparity between the Northern and Southern States as I expected, before I made my tour. I find in them neither rivers of gold nor rocks of diamonds, neither are we fed with the quails of heaven nor with the manna that comes down from above. But the curse is entailed upon the people in this climate as well as in New England—' with the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat thy bread.' North Carolina which hath been the Elisium of some as has been pretended, is the most wretched place in nature and the poorest State in the Union. Virginia is better, but the inhabitants are a disagreeable set of beings.
