INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.

    The Courts, Judges and Lawyers; Medicine

    CHAPTER XII The Courts, Judges and Lawyers; Medicine and Doctors By Frederick W. Gnichtel I. Early Courts and Lawyers In the early records relating to Trenton there is no reference to courts established here or to any lawyers who were living and practising in these parts until after the passage of the Act of 1676 establishing courts. The County Court of Hunterdon County was at times held alternately at Maidenhead (Lawrenceville) and at Hopewell, but as that was found to be inconvenient, in March 1719, the governor ordered that the courts be held in Trenton, and in 1724 it was enacted that the Supreme Court for Hunterdon County be held here. The earliest sessions of the courts were held in the house of William Yard on Front Street, at Samuel Hunt's and at other places. The first Court House was built sometime between 1720 and 1730 (the exact date is uncertain), on South Warren Street, and served until 1792. In 1805 it was purchased by the Trenton Banking Company and used until recently as a banking house. The old Court House is described by Raum as a "two-story building erected of sandstone, with stuccoed 1 front. The cells were in the lower story. The upper story was used as a court-room, the entrance to which was by a number of stone steps erected on the outside of the building and surrounded by an iron railing. The steps extended over the pavement, commencing from the gutter, and persons going into the Court House were compelled to ascend from the street.
