It is made (ait of coarse, unruled paper, and is bound in buckskin and pasteboard. The first entry was made in 1824.

The first law-suit was against James Henderson. Pat. Ravenscroft charged him with killing a dog and scalping it, and drawing on it the premium paid by the State for wolf scalps. He was bound over to the court of common pleas. In the same year, a Sabbath-breaker Wiis fined seventyfive cents. Another was charged with " swearing two finable oaths," tried, found guilty, and was fined fifty cents, twenty-five cents for each oath. He styled some of his cases "assault and struck," and in several places where an adminstrator was plaintitV, he entered it thus: " A, B,, administrator _ for the State of C, D., dec'd." A large portion of ' the docket was filled with suits for bastardy.

The following is a fair specimen of some of the entries: "Appeared before me, Michael Frock, a justice of the peace for said township, on the 7th day of August, William Cutshall personally appeared and paid one dollar for to fight fisticutt's with John Shook, on the 23d day of July. Received by me, Michael Frock, J. P." This docket is highly prized by the family, and they have also many other ancient papers that are interesting to the antiquarian.
