Judicial Department.

     For the sake of brevity, under this section, the office of judges, clerks, sheriffs, and prosecuting attorneys will all be classified and designated as to their terms and times of office in this manner, viz:  The terms of the courts mentioned hereafter will show when ever there was any change in the officers above specified; and from teh terms of the courts it will be seen at once when any officer or judge came into office, and when his predecessor passed out.

     NEW MARKET, 1805 - Robert Slaughter, presiding judge; Richard Evans, John Davidson and Jonathan Berryman, associates; Abraham J. Williams, prosecuting attorney; David Hays, clerk; Anthony Franklin, sheriff.
     COURT HELD AT HILLSBORO, NOVEMBER 9TH, 1807. - Levin L. Belt, presiding judge; Richard Evans, Jonathan Berryman and John Davidson, associates.  Before the removal of the seat of justice from Newmarket, during one term of the court, a man by the name of Joseph Quillon was found guilty of a charge of theft, and was sentenced by the court to be fined, and imprisoned ten days; and for want of a jail, he was imprisoned in an unfinished well, with rails placed over it for security.

Pg. 35 -
     At the October term, 1808, at Hillsboro, the following judgment was entered:
     THE STATE OF OHIO)
              versus                   }
     FRANCIS KNOTT.     )
       "The prisoner was brought to the bar in custody of the jailor,
     "and being demanded by the judge if any objection he had why
     "judgment should not be pronounced against him, replied he had
     "none; whereupon it is considered by the court that he be whip-
     "ped eleven stripes on his naked back - that he shall pay to John
     "Moore, the person from whom he took the money, ten dollars;
     "that he be fined ten dollars; also, that he pay the costs of this
     "prosecution, and that he be imprisoned until the judgment of
     "this court be complied with."

     The sentence of the court in this case was executed by tying Francis Knott to a beech tree on Short street, in Hillsboro, and by the infliction of the stripes on his naked back by Augustus Richards, sheriff.  It is disputable in the minds of many, whether the above two mentioned cases of severe punishment do not contribute more towards making law-abiding citizens than the present mode of punishment by confinement in the county jail for petty offenses.  But be this as it may, there has never been a conviction in the county for a capital offense, and there never has been a case in which public sentiment demanded such conviction.
     AT HILLSBORO, OHIO, 1808, Court began and held. - Levin L. Belt, presiding judge; Richard Evans, John Davidson and Jonathan Berryman, associates; Allen Trimble, clerk; Abraham J. Williams, prosecuting attorney; Augustus Richards, sheriff.
