Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In the House of Representatives, June 3, 1788.
WHEREAS the mode of administering justice in the judicial department, should be established on permanent principles, and by standing laws; therefore,
Ordered, That the committee of revision be requested to revise the several laws providing for the administration of justice, and to report as soon as may be, for the consideration of the general court, one or more bills, providing for the administration of justice within this commonwealth, upon safe and constitutional principles, and in a manner as convenient, and as little expensive to the citizens of this commonwealth, as may be consistent with the constitution, and the public interest.

A LETTER
From the Committee for revising the laws, to the honorable Legislature, upon the subject of a system reported by them, for the administration of justice within this Commonwealth.
Boston, Oct. 30, 1788.
May it please your Honors,
THE committee for revising the laws pursuant to your honors' orders, dated the fifth day of June last, have reported a number of bills which form a system for the administration of justice, different from what has been heretofore practiced. A number of considerations have induced the committee to make those alterations. If it was intended only to return back to the old forms of administering justice, nothing more was necessary, than to repeal the judiciary act, and the several acts passed to remedy its defects. The present mode of instituting suits before justices of the peace has been attended with such perplexities, expenses and inconveniences, that it was thought impracticable to form a system on that plan, which would meet the ideas held up in your honors' order to the committee. Moreover, it seems to the committee hardly consistent with the constitution; for if the defendant makes default before the justice, he must make up judgment for the damages, and the plaintiff has no remedy to get his damages ascertained by a jury, which in some cases may be an important jury.
In addition to which, the demands made by the plaintiff before justices, appear when they come forward, to be so crude and undigested, that new declarations must very frequently be made before the plaintiff can safely proceed to trial, occasioning great delay and expense; and the records, by that means, if examined, will frequently appear very absurd, and give posterity a contemptible idea of the jurisprudence of their ancestors.
The committee have further considered, that the delays and expenses attending suits through the court of common pleas, have lately occasioned considerable clamors in many parts of the country. That the court of sessions has also for many years past been complained of, on account of the expenses of so many justices attending there, and the uncertainty of the judgments, where, before the case is over, there may be nearly a new set of judges, from those who were present at the beginning.
The committee therefore concluded to report bills founded on the following principles. That the commonwealth be divided into three districts or circuits. That the supreme judicial court consist of nine justices, any two of whom to make a quorum on the circuit, and any one in case of emergency to adjourn till the quorum can be made. That three of those justices be assigned every six months for each circuit. That not less than one, nor more than two who attended the former circuit, shall be assigned for the succeeding circuit. That there be three terms annually in each of the four middle counties, viz. Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex and Worcester, and two terms in each of the other counties, except Duke's county and Nantucket, where there shall be one court in each, to be held for both those counties at the same time.
That the justices at each term in the several counties have the same powers and jurisdiction that the supreme judicial court now has in all matters civil and criminal, and also original jurisdiction by process immediately to that court in all civil actions, except as hereinafter mentioned; To that all acts respecting courts of common pleas may be repealed. A clerk of the supreme judicial court is to be appointed for each county, to reside therein, and for the ease of the people, the records to be kept there. That all the records of the court of common pleas be removed over to the new clerks of the respective counties and to be in their custody. That a review by former acts is allowed in all civil causes any time within two years, but execution, except where bonds are given agreeable to law, may issue in twenty-four hours after judgment.
That two terms of the said court, called law terms, be held annually, wherein the title to real estate is not concerned, as they have heretofore had, with an appeal immediately to the Supreme Judicial Court; and the usual jurisdiction of justices of the peace in criminal causes.
That a court be erected by the name of the County Court, to consist of five justices, three to make a quorum, any two of the said justices in case of emergency may adjourn till the quorum is complete, which is to be held three times a year in each county, and to have all the jurisdiction, civil and criminal, and all the other powers that appertain to the Court of Sessions, with an appeal in all criminal matters to the Supreme Judicial Court, and in civil matters, to be subject only to review by certiorari, writ of error, and such other examination as has been heretofore practiced. That the records of the Courts of Sessions in the respective counties, where they can conveniently be separated from the records of the courts of common pleas, be removed into the clerk's office of the respective County Courts, and therefore all the acts for establishing Courts of Sessions may be repealed.
That justices of the peace in each county have the same jurisdiction in all civil cases under four pounds value, wherein the title to real estate is not concerned, as they have heretofore had, with an appeal immediately to the Supreme Judicial Court; and the usual jurisdiction of justices of the peace in criminal causes.
That the Supreme Judicial Court, and County Court, have the same powers for taking the acknowledgment or confession of debts, making a rule of reference, either by the parties voluntarily coming into court, and submitting to such rule, or in the bond or agreement of submission a desire that the same may be made a rule of court, and that without any suit or action brought. The committee have further revised the abscinding acts, and made such alterations as will in general,
much lessen the expence of suits on that act, and shorten the time of carrying on the suit.
The committee are pretty well assured that the expence of carrying on a suit to execution through the Supreme Judicial Court, will not much, if any thing, exceed the expence of carrying one through the Court of Common Pleas.
The committee have further reported two bills for determining the times and places of holding the several Supreme Judicial Courts, and County Courts; and have made such an arrangement of them as they judge will give sufficient time to complete the business—but experience only can determine whether any, or what alterations may be expedient.
As this arrangement will require a new fee-bill in part, the committee have formed one, as an amendment to the former; thereby raising a small revenue for the purpose, in some considerable degree, of supporting the whole judicial department. The sums to be paid to the clerks are set down in gross, how, and to whom paid out, specified; so that the fees will be the same throughout the state.
Though in some counties the fees put down for the clerk may amount to a large sum, yet in other counties the fees will be small and trifling when taken together. If the fees were lessened, so that clerks in the larger counties could obtain a competent maintenance only, it would be impossible to get any in the smaller counties to accept the office; that are capable of aright discharging the duties of it. Therefore by the bill they are made accountable for all the fees, and are to pay over what surplus beyond a reasonable maintenance shall be received.
This state of the matter is now humbly submitted to the honorable the Legislature; and if it appears to them, as it does to the committee, "To be upon safe and constitutional principles, as convenient and little expensive to the citizens of this commonwealth, as is consistent with the Constitution and the public interest," they hope the bills herewith exhibited, will meet with their approbation; but if on the contrary, the system does not meet the approbation of the Legislature, the committee are of opinion, that it will be to no purpose for them to spend any time in considering particular parts of the same, as they are all necessary to the proposed system for the better administration of justice throughout the commonwealth.
We are with the sincerest respect,
Your Honor's obedient servants,

PITTSFIELD, Nov. 27.
Last week the following humorous circumstance happened here: A transient jockey came to the house of Mr. Jonathan Hubbey, and agreed to purchase a horse of him, for which he was to pay him 141. in cash; but as he said he had been at the Pownal races, and had lost 601. he could not pay him, unless Mr. Hubbey would accompany him to Lebanon, in Connecticut, which he said was his native place, where he would pay him 451. for his trouble. They accordingly set out, and on the road Mr. Hubbey began to suspect the honesty of his chapman, which the other perceived; however, they put up at a tavern in the evening, when the jockey told the landlord, privately, he did not like the company of his companion, and desired his horse might be put by himself, which was accordingly done. Some time in the evening he desired the boy, privately, to saddle his horse, and bring him to the door, which he did; and on the boy's entering the room, the jockey quitted it, mounted his horse, rode off, and has not since been heard of.
WILMINGTON, N. C. Nov. 3.
A wonderful alteration, say a correspondent, hath taken place in the political sentiments of this state, within these few months. Misled by the phrenzies and cant of a few popular declaimers—whose oratory and declamation overcame the sober reason of our plain farmers, the state was, by a considerable majority, opposed to the federal constitution; and the consequence was a rejection by our convention. Our worthy governor, and a number of other patriots, warned the majority of the consequence of their conduct—and since they have had time for reflection, they have been made sensible of the danger to which their conduct exposed the state—a conviction thereof has taken place—and as soon as a second convention can be called, we have hopes of adopting the system—and to come into full communion with the other sisters of the union.

A SINGULAR CHARACTER.
Among the few survivors lately returned from the unsuccessful attempt to make a settlement at
Sierra Leona, is an aged black man, whose life has been a continued scene of adventures, hair-breadth escapes, &c. He was originally brought from Cape-Coast by a Liverpool trader, and sold to the West-Indies, from whence he got on board one of his majesty's ships, and served a number of years. He was so remarkable for his activity, that he jumped into the sea, and with a long knife, dispatched a large shark, that was so formidable in a harbour of the West-Indies, that few of the seamen could bathe without imminent danger, and for which, as it prevented a number of desertions, he got a merciful flogging. He afterwards belonged to a Jamaica merchantman, where he was the means of saving the lives of the crew, consisting of thirty persons, as, through being becalmed near a month at sea, the stock of provisions was expended; the ship abounding with rats, he was the only person on board who took the hazardous method of catching them, by anointing his hands with oil; he then lay on his back with his eyes shut, and his arms extended in the hold, where, impelled by hunger, their venim would lick his hands, when he was sure by a method peculiar to himself to grapple with them. The exigency of the situation compelled the crew to eat till they got a better wind. He has been several times shipwrecked, and once escaped when all the crew, except the captain and himself, perished. He succeeded unhurt another time in fixing a flag at the main top, during an engagement in one of his majesty's ships, where three other men had been killed in the attempt. He was afterwards a drummer in a regiment of horse, in Germany, and had his drum shot through in an action without receiving any personal damage. He was a slave in Pennsylvania, and afterwards an overseer of them. This servile situation (tho' he had been in England several years) a bricklayer's laborer, &c. previous to his late embarkation for Sierra Leona) from the kind treatment of his owner, a quaker, near Philadelphia, he declares to have been the happiest part of his life. His means of obtaining a livelihood at present are as singular as the rest of his adventures, viz. by selling fish that he procures by groping with his hands, procuring worms, paste, &c. for angling, catching moles, and picking up wool in the fields.

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes , No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company. THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions; one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf. That nearly six months after, to wit; on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles; the other pieces were both very foul; one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

Specific Solution.
PROVED fully (even in this city) to be the easiest and most effectual remedy ever yet discovered for the cure of the Venereal Disease , to be had only at No. 70, opposite No. 9, Cherry-street. The terms of ( no cure no pay ) on which this valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced it virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch for its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and afforded to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions.
Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York,
For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit: A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect, whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglected to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general; who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of them till an accident happens, the barefaced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.
FIRST RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls carried twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3s. deposit, 12s. total, 15s.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4s. deposit, 16s. total, 20s.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5s. deposit, 16s. total, 21s.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6s. deposit, 16s. total, 22s.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed houses, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7s. deposit, 16s. total, 23s.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8s. deposit, 16s. total, 24s.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10s. deposit, 21s. total, 31s.
The expense therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:
Premium on £. 500 at 7s. per cent. £. 1 15 0 Deposit, at 28s. per cent. 7 0 0 Policy and badge, 0 10 0 £. 9 5 0 If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0 £. 2 5 0 Which shews the expense of insuring £. 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing said sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, distillery, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or business following are carried on, viz. chymists, ship chandlers, tallow chandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or cornmen; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods; viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD , Secretary. No. 57, King-street.
December 2, 1788.
