Courts ard Judges of Colonial Days
Surrounded Therse.ves with
Much Fonp.

In colonial DAYS York, Me-, was
the county seat to whish the judges
and LAWYERS from New Hampshire
and Massachusetts often went, and
the court sessions we're attended with
much official pomp and ceremony.
In "0ld Colonial Houses in Maine"
Emma Huntington Mason quotes
from a record left by John Adams,
who, as a young barrister, went to
York in 1774, and who made at that
time the following entry in his jour
nal lasSazzlz
when l got to the tavern on the
eastern side of the Piscataqua river,
| found the sheriff of York and six
of his deputies, all with gold-laced
hats, rufles, swords and very gay
clothes, and all likely young men
who had come out to that place to
escort the court into town."
This gives us a hint of the pomp
and splendor affected by the court
officials Of those days, when the
judges wore robes of scarlet with
large cambria bands, and immense
wigs, and the barristers had gowns
and also bands and tie-wigs.
As the judges approached the
shire towns, the sheriff met them
with an escort and flourish of trum-
pets. Their arrival was announced
by cannon; and the daily summons
to the court before bells we're intro
duced was by beating a drum
