To THE Pubic. in my course of
business, l had occasion to visit the
Protbonotary's Office, and in 1871,
in looking up an old Judgment, it
occurred to me that the Lien or Judg |
ment Docket No. 1.-THE first dock
ct running from 1866 to 1860 was in |
dilapidated condition and should
be transcribed-tho Docket was not /
well bound book and rebinding
would destroy two OF its essential
parts. 1t is in daily use and the
p iblic have constant access TO it and
must OF necessity wear out. Deem
ing it tie most important Docket
among the public Records. beeuse 1t
is the evidence Of thousands of dol
lars of indebtedness which. should
single leaf be lost would be lost for
ever. asked the late lamented Judge !
Woods TO direct that it be transcrib-
ed with the understanding that I
should do the work), whereupon he
made an order to that effect, copy
of which is annexed. No ore kne,c
ofMe matter until he order Of tie
court wos made ercept Judge Wood,
Coi Simpson ond mySeb-I am
alone responsible for tho transcrib.
ing of the Docket--and believed il
was for the public good. I labored
hard for several months to accom-
plish the work, rs the book itself will
show, and when completed 1 asked
the Judge TO appoint committee to
examine the work and report the
compensation, II copy of which is
hereunto annexed.
The committee reported the com
pensation (S500,) Five Hundred dol
lars, whereupon Judge Woods di
rected an order to be issued to me for
said sum which / presented to John
X. Hughes, Treasurer, aud received
the mouey--R0 one ecer rcceiced one
doiIdr Of that money from me as a
constellation ia hdcing tie cock
done-Mr. Grouse Prothy., knew
nothing Of the order about to be
made, until Judge Woods directed
the transcribing, and the said order
was made at the instance or on mo-
tion of Col. A. c. Simpson.
l believe every fair minded man in
the county will justify the matter
upon due consideration Of its inpor.
tance. A"y charge against Mr.
Grouse 10 The egect that he receiced
