that he wanted to instruct the jury

The building was constructed for
county purposes. Two different funds
were raised to cover the expense. In
colonial days it was the custom for
the mayor of Philadelphia when going
out of office to give banquet. Instead
OF doing this, one of the mayors con-
tributed the cost OF the feast, $50
pounds, to the building fund for the
new county hall. The other money
used In its construction came from
the sale of an old jail and workhouse.
Gangs of convicts known then as
"wheelbarrowmen" began its construc-
ton in 1887 and 1t was completed in
1889.
On March 4, 1888. the Assembly of
Pennsylvania, acting for the county of
Philadelphia, rendered the use of the
building as the temporary home of
Congress. Congress. which was meet
ing then in New York, after much de-

the national government on the banks

Morris and to the disappointment OF
New York. was decided upon as the
seat of government for ten years. On
