Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outline of Executive and Legislative History of Arkansas Congress, in an Act approved by President James Madison, January 27, 1814, made special and exceptional provision for the establishment and maintenance of civil government in what is now the State of Arkansas. This Act of 1814 provided for the appointment of "an additional´ judge for the Territory of Missouri, who, as the chief judicial and administrative officer in and for that part of Missouri "within the limits of the late district of Arkansas," as fixed and established while the same was a part of the territory of Louisiana, was required by law to reside at or near the village of Arkansas. George Bullit, whom the President appointed to the office thus created, was a lawyer of Ste. Genevieve county, Missouri. Elected November 9, 1812, a member of the first house of representatives of Missouri, he had been chosen speaker at the second session of the first General Assembly in December, 1813. He removed, soon after his appointment as judge of the district of Arkansas, with his family to Arkansas Post. There he continued in office until 1819, when the Territory of Arkansas was created. By an Act approved December 13, 1813, the first General Assembly of Missouri had created the county of Arkansas, out of what had been, since 1806, the district of Arkansas. Subsequently, the legislature of Missouri divided Arkansas county, forming the county of Lawrence January 15, 1815; and the counties of Clark, Hempstead and Pulaski by a single Act approved December 15, 1818. During the five years of his judicial services, Judge Bullit held court regularly, "two terms in each and every year," in and for the district embraced by the five counties of Arkansas, Lawrence, Clark, Hempstead and Pulaski, arid otherwise effectually organized affairs of civil government in each. Thus, when in 1819 the Territory of Arkansas was established, as a result of the work of Judge Bullit, Arkansas began its separate political existence with all the necessary machinery of local government already in operation.
