the late session of the Legislature 10
remove the courts to Wilmington ana
build a new court house there at the ex-
pense OF the county, to try to hold New
Castle county as one county, ana still
only have one third OF the votes and in

or Sussex. When 1t was well ADMIT

more population than Kent and Sussex
counties combined, and paid twice the
Stats tax of those two counties combin-
cd, After the bill passed the Legisla-
ture to build new court house in Will
minRton, it fell into the hands OF the
Levy Court of the county to carry out
the law. They commenced by, III my
opinion, selecting site too far north TO
fairly represent the population of the
county. Next they, or committee OF
them, travel around to look at Court
houses in adjoining counties; they ad-
vertise for plans; they receive them
from Wilmington and Pennsylvania ;
the said Levy Court, or committee OF
Its selecting, published that they adopted
the plan Of a Wilmington architect -
Next il is published that the Levy Court
committee adopted plan made up ont
of the several plans presented, and
selected as superintendent of construc-
tiOn, q Philadelphia architect, who sub
mitted one of the plans, with the pros
pect of letting the contract to Philad-l
phia contractor and friend of this p o.
posed Philadelphia superintendent, and
further proposed to send over the Alle-
ghany Mountains for some Ohio stone,
and into Pennsylvania for the balance ot
the stones.
