Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fourteenth Report of the Bureau of Archives for the Province of Ontario: 1917 My astonishment may be imagined when I discovered that the book was one of the long lost Minute Hooks ol the Court of Common Fleas of the Western I¡-trict. and there on the first page was the name of the First Judge,´ the Honourable Win. Dunuuer Powell. Mr. Burton and Mr. Jackson were standing near me in the narrow vault, the latter holding the cundlc and telling the Detroit visitor of the age and- glory of Osgoodc Hall. 1 suppressed my rising feelings until all the papers had been put back in the box except eight thin folios, oue after another of which I had rescued from the orderless heap, tattered, and apparently useless, hut in reality of priceless value, being the original records of our oldest constituted Courts for the old Districts of Hesse, Mecklenburg and Luncburg in Upper Canada. "I asked Mr. Burton to look at one of the books, remarking that he might feel interested in it He ojiencd it, and when he saw the holograph of John Munro, a relative, on one of the pages he gave up the effort to appear calm, and in the circumstances was to be excused for having always known that the precious records were there." In going over the Term Books of the Court of King´s Bench, in 1913, the first volume of the IJecords of the Court of Common Pleas for Hesse, dating from 1789, was found by the Honourable Mr. Justice Kiddell, whose learned Introduction and Notes render it unnecessary, here, to refer to the rare value of these documents. When the succeeding instalments shall have been published a rich vein, practically untouched, will be, for the first time, open for historical research to Jhe slndent, not only of our legal institutions, but also of certain important conditions and customs of pioneer life in Upper Canada.
