In 1850 the time of holding the win
ter term of court was changed from
December to January. The courts from
and including the January term, 1851,
to and including the June term, 1854,
were held by Judge Collamer, with the
exception of the June term, 1882 which
was held by Luke p. Poland. From the
January term, 1855, to the June term, %
inclusive, Abel Underwood presided
except at the June term of 1855, which
Judge Poland held. Beginning with
the January term, 1858, Judge Barrett
was presiding judge of this court until
the January term, 1861, at which time
Asahel Peck began his long period OF
service as our presiding judge. contlnu-
ing as such to anu including the June
term of 1874, with the single exception
OF the December term, 1870, which was
presided over by Jonathan Ross, now
chief judge of the supreme court and
at one time principal of Chelsea acad-
envy. In 1867, the old arrangement Oh
June and December terms was adopted
and has continued until the present
time. Since Judge Peck's retirement
from the bench, our presiding judges
have been as follows:
1874, O) Timothy P. Redteld, 1872
II. Henry Powers. 1876, (D II. Henry

was not present at either of the terms
Of court held during his incumbency Of
that office. The assistant judges AT
this time were Josiah Dana of Chelsea
and John H. Cotton of Bradford and
they, it seems, conducted the sessions
without the presence oftheir chief who
was, no doubt, engrossed in his bust.
ness at Washington, where he kent
both store and tavern.
At the December term, 1913, JUDGE
Buckingham again appears as chief
Judge, and Beriah LOOMS, who was
dropped off the bench in 1912 after A
continuous service of sixteen years, re.
appears as assistant judge, the other
one being Judge Cotton.
In 1916, Josiah Dana of Chelsea be-
came chief judge, serving until 1920
Judge Dana was prominent and inhu-
entail citizen of Chelsea and had pre-
viously served as town representative,
assistant judge and county auditor and
treasurer. He was presidential cleo.
tor on the Adams ticket in 1928 and a
member of the governors council in
I 1921 and 1926. His granddaughter,
Mrs. Caroline Dana Uhl, now resides
at Yonkers, n Y, and recently paid a
visit to Chelsea.
The last chiefjudge of Orange county
court was William Spencer of Corinth,
who served from 1920 to 1925, when the
office was abolished and the present
system of assigning the supreme
court judges to preside at the county
courts adopted. The ..side-wheeln fea.
ture of the county bench was not
abolished, however, and the custom of
having two practical men of affairs to
assist the presiding judge and to attend
to the miscellaneous county business
continues to this day, with the merit of
age, at least, in its favor.
Judge Spencer presided for the last
time at the June term, 1925. At the
December term of that year. Titus
Hutchinson, then second associate JUS
tice of the supreme court and subse-
quently its chief, presided. The fol-
lowing is a list of the presiding judges

probably as many houses occupied in
town as ever before, but the families
are smaller, there are more elderly and
retired people, and fewer industries.
Chelsea was the paradise of the small
farmer, but it is somewhat too broken
and irregular to easily admit OF the
combining of farms and use Of machin-
cry. The valley of the branch is easy
and fertile tillage land, and the pastures
are exceptionally good and free from
weeds. The soil seems to be fertile on
the base of the hills, and even far up
on their sides. During war times and
the succeeding decade, handsome prices
were realized on all farm produce, and
sheep husbandry was especially profit
able Many young men with limited
capital bought farm and stock during
this period of imitation, and the con-
traction of prices swallowed up their
earnings.
The creamery system and the separa-
tor, lifting household burdens, have
come to stay.
Notwithstanding the present stagna-
| ton of business and the low prices,
there is feeling of encouragement.
The creamery and the silo offer I'M
bounded possibilities. Magnificent
crops of corn are stacked on these warm,
early hillsides and rich valleys. Chel-
sea still enjoys the prestige of being
the shire town of Orange county, ana
the intellectual stimulus that comes from
the association twice year with such
an able and acute class of men as the
presiding judges and the bar of Orange
county. The presence of jurors and
clients and witnesses, and the trial of
interesting cases, lends peculiar piq-
uancy to the sessions ofthe county court.
Less frequent and lasting, but not less
exciting, are the biennial sessions of
the county convention, when the bash
full aspirants for Office are dragged be-
fore the public gaze by their Jealous
friends. These stirring scenes have
exerted, and will continue to exert, a
formative and stimulating influence on
the youthful imagination.
Chelsea has produced, trained and
sent forth an unusual number of able
and distinguished men, especially in
the legal profession. The brilliant sons
of Harry Hale, Ex-Secretary w. f. vi
las of Wisconsin, Hon. John Young, a
member of congress and governor Of
New York, elected over Silas Wright
in 1916, United States Senator William
Palmer, later Of Danville, Thomas Scott
Buckham, a graduate Of the L. V. M.
and later distinguished lawyer and
Judge in Minnesota, and his honored
brother, President M. II. Buckham of
the L, V. NJ, a great teacTer,are among
those whom Chelsea has sent forth.
In addition to these, Chelsea has sent |
forth some dozen or fifteen ministers,
and furnished nearly score of minis
tiers with wives. "But the good far
mers, physicians, merchants, mechanics,

judge until the June term of 1906. ant
again from 1913 to 1915.
We infer that Judge Buckingham be
lieved in retrenchment, for we find il
the record of his first term that h,
caused an order to be made THAT tn,
high sheriff be allowed to have two
deputies to attend each county cour
hereafter, and no more"
In this same volume of records, the
writer found letter, evidently PLACED
there as a bookmark, which indicate,
that the prohibition sentiment in thi,
vicinity was not so strong in those days
as now. The letter is addressed to the
clerk and signed by Judges Bucking
ham and LOOMS. 1t reads
1--WE recollect that at December tern
last, we assessed Joel Hatch and Am
PLUS Blake, both of STAFFORD, the sum
of five dollars each, for license to sell
foreign distilled spirits at their several
stores in STAFFORD, and also each the
sum of one dollar and fifty cents fol-
wines. If they have paid you this sum
with costs, they are entitled to their
licenses to bear date from sd. term, or
ON paying the same, think they are en-
titled to it,"
AT the December term, 1902, Assist
ant Judge Allis was succeeded by
James Fisk of Barre, which town was
then included in Orange county. Judge
Fisk held this office but one year, and
was succeeded in 1908 by Moulton
Morey, Fairlee lawyer, and near kins-
man to Samuel Morey, the steamboat
inventor. Judge Morey became chief
Judge in 1906, succeeding Judge Buck
lngham. Judge Tarbox became assist
ant judge in place of Judge Morey,
while Beriah Loomis still continued as
the other assistant. This arrangement
lasted until the December term OF 1909,
when James Fisk appears as chief
Judge, similarly assisted" Judge
Fisk was probably the ablest man who
ever held the Office of chief Judge of
Orange county. For four years previ-
Gus to holding that office, he was a
member of congress, and on his retire
ment from the .judgcship in 1910 he was
again elected to congress, serving I'M
til 1915, when he became Judge of the
supreme court, holding that office two
years. He was United States senator
IN lSl7-ls, and resigned to accept the
.coliectorship of Vermont, which Office
