Excerpt from The Laws and Courts of the Northwest and Indiana Territories Goinothe circuit IN early times. Little can now be gathered beyond the technical recitals of the records to show how, or by what sort of men, the laws were made and administered. It is certain, however, that everything beyond the law itself partook Of the primitive character of the times. Congress passed an act in 1792 allowing two of the judges their expenses in sending an express and in purchasing a boat to go the circuit. Judge Bur net, a lawyer and leading member of the first general as sembly, and afterwards a distinguished judge in Ohio, tells us how the judges and lawyers went the circuit about the year 1801. They generally traveled five or six in company, with a pack-horse to carry baggage and provisions. And were sometimes eight or ten days in the wilderness. There were no bridges and but few ferries. And they were obliged to swim their horses across the streams. In returning from General Court at Marietta to Cincinnati, upon one occasion, the judge was compelled to swim his horse across five different streams. He adds, that one of the chief requisites Of a horse in those days was that he should be a good swimmer.' One of the judges - Judge Parsons - was drowned in 1789 in attempt ing to cross a creek.'
