    MARTIN'S BENCH AND BAR OF PHILADELPHIA Together with other Lists of persons appointed to Administer the Laws in the City and County of Philadelphia, and the Province and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania BY , JOHN HILL MARTIN OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR OF C PHILADELPHIA KKKS WELSH & CO., PUBLISHERS No. 19 South Ninth Street 1883 Entered according to the Act of Congress, On the 12th day of March, in the year 1883, BY JOHN HILL MARTIN, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

  • Cliveden Bibliography
    Cliveden Resources and Bibliography Updated 11/15/02 Introduction The following list has three parts: Part I lists archival and other collections—many of them very large—that tell a part of the Cliveden story. Part II lists the various research tools and resources available at Cliveden. These include reports from numerous research projects undertaken since the site was given to the National Trust in 1972, many of them in computer-readable form. Part III is an extensive bibliography of works about Cliveden or the people who lived there. Because these publications are numerous, they have been divided into categories such as “Architecture” or “Tour Guides.” There are undoubtedly many omissions, but additional items will be added as they come to our attention, in the hope that the list will one day be comprehensive. Part I: Collections Primary source materials at Cliveden Chew family library Legal library contains approximately 200 items dating from 1627 to the late eighteenth century. General library includes later legal titles plus 800 general interest titles from the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Alphabetical author listing and shelf list available. Chew family papers 40+ linear feet of standard legal document boxes plus four large map cases of containing oversize materials. Item level finding aid available. Consists primarily of Chew family papers and photographs found in house after the bulk of collection was transferred to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania in 1972. Object collections Approximately 3,000 objects dating from the mid-eighteenth century to 1972.

  • D N OCTOBER 5, 1775, the Pennsylvania State House
    THE IMPACT OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION ON THE GOVERNOR'S COUNCILLORS By JAMES LAVERNE ANDERSON* D NOCTOBER 5, 1775, the Pennsylvania State House was the scene of two important meetings. While the Second Continental Congress held a session downstairs, the Pennsylvania Governor's Council met in the second floor Council chamber. The Councillors discussed the election returns of the Pennsylvania counties. After certifying the results as official, the Governor s Council of Pennsylvania adjourned for what was to prove to be the last time.1 Presently, the advisory institution which had been a part of the Proprietorship for over ninety years alas no more. The Councillors of 1775 were the remaining elite of the Penn- sylvania Proprietorship. Serving as a Council, they had little power; but as holders of some fifty or more other positions, lead- ing members of the best social groups, and owviiers of land and businesses, their influence permeated the colony. In October, 1775, the Councillors faced a personal crisis as they A itnessed the rising tide of public feeling against the mother country, a tide which threatened to engulf those who represented the past. Despite the rise of this feeling within the Proprietorship, Pennsylvania was in a unique position. Of the thirteen colonies, only Pennsylvania and Maryland remained Proprietaries. But the political situation in Maryland was more antagonistic toward the Proprietary Council since the Council in that colony main- tained legislative power. The Maryland Councillors formed a court party" which supported the Crown, while the Assembly members constituted a "'countr) partyv which stimulated the *Mr. Anderson is a Thonmas Jefferson Fellow in the Graduate School of the University of Virginia.

Edward Shippen Burd's grandfather, Col. James Burd (1726-1793), was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, and settled on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, after his marriage in 1748 to Sarah Shippen, a member of the prominent Shippen family of Lancaster and Shippensburg. He joined the military as an officer at the outbreak of the French and Indian War, eventually earning the rank of colonel by 1758. From 1756-1757 he was in command of Fort Augustus, near Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and from 1764-1770 he held the office of Justice of Lancaster County. In 1774, a year before the outbreak of hostilities with Great Britain, Col. Burd was instrumental in garnering local support for the colonial congress in its opposition to the Crown, and by the following year was assisting in the military organization of Lancaster County as a member of the Committee of Safety.

  • MIDNIGHT JUDGES KATHRYN Turnu I
    [Vol.109 THE MIDNIGHT JUDGES KATHRYN TuRNu I "The Federalists have retired into the judiciary as a strong- hold . and from that battery all the works of republicanism are to be beaten down and erased." ' This bitter lament of Thomas Jefferson after he had succeeded to the Presidency referred to the final legacy bequeathed him by the Federalist party. Passed during the closing weeks of the Adams administration, the Judiciary Act of 1801 2 pro- vided the Chief Executive with an opportunity to fill new judicial offices carrying tenure for life before his authority ended on March 4, 1801. Because of the last-minute rush in accomplishing this purpose, those men then appointed have since been known by the familiar generic designation, "the midnight judges." This flight of Federalists into the sanctuary of an expanded federal judiciary was, of course, viewed by the Republicans as the last of many partisan outrages, and was to furnish the focus for Republican retaliation once the Jeffersonian Congress convened in the fall of 1801. That the Judiciary Act of 1801 was repealed and the new judges deprived of their new offices in the first of the party battles of the Jeffersonian period is well known. However, the circumstances surrounding the appointment of "the midnight judges" have never been recounted, and even the names of those appointed have vanished from studies of the period. It is the purpose of this Article to provide some further information about the final event of the Federalist decade. A cardinal feature of the Judiciary Act of 1801 was a reform long advocated-the reorganization of the circuit courts.' Under the Judiciary Act of 1789, the judicial districts of the United States had been grouped into three circuits-Eastern, Middle, and Southern-in which circuit court was held by two justices of the Supreme Court (after 1793, by one justice) ' and the district judge of the district in which the court was sitting.5 The Act of 1801 grouped the districts t Assistant Professor of History, Wellesley College.

  • A Philadelphia Microcosm
    By Lee L. Schreiber TEMPLE UNIVERSITY BLUEBLOODS AND LOCAL SOCIETIES: A PHILADELPHIA MICROCOSM ALTHOUGH several scholars including Neil Harris, Oliver Larkin, A Russell Lynes, Lillian G. Miller and Russell B. Nye have studied the relationships of artists and art patrons to such diverse subjects as politics, tastemaking, commercialism, and patriotism, little attention has been given to the patron's social position within the local community or the degree of involvement in local organiza- tions.' A study which explores the ties of the layman art patron to such organizations helps identify 19th century American art patrons by more than name and aids in understanding motivation. Beginning in the early decades of the 19th century and continuing at least to the Civil War many Americans organized and joined a multitude of societies. Although many historians have argued that these organizations embraced citizens of all classes,' more recent studies show that, in the main, it was the rich and eminent who founded and guided these societies and often made up the bulk of the membership. : The Philadelphia elite were typical of the national urban elite.
