Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Law Journal, Vol. 6: November, 1846-October, 1847 Mr. Baldwin's first permanent residence was at Meadville, in Crawford county; but it was not long before his increasing business drew him into practice at Pittsburg, at that time the most important town west of the Alleghanies. He found there a bar singularly well adapted to the enterprising and sagacious population in which it was placed. Conspicuous in its ranks for legal attainments, as well as for strong reasoning faculties, stood James Ross, then but shortly before elected to the Senate of the United States by the federalists, during their brief early supremacy in Pennsylvania. By his side were Steel Sample, a man whose thorough learning and prodigious argumentative strength, conceded by most of his cotemporaries to be unrival led at the western bar, were afterwards unhappily obscured by habits too frequently, at that time, the bane of the profession; John Woods, whose substantial business capacity had earned for him a large practice; William Wilkins, afterwards Sena tor from Pennsylvania and minister to Russia, and then a graceful and popular advocate; and Parker Campbell, who, though residing at Washington, was concerned in most of the important trials in the western part of the state. The bar was well stocked; and independently of the natural jealousy felt by joint tenants towards a stranger who seeks to share with them.

Excerpt from Pennsylvania Law Journal, 1842, Vol. 1: Containing Judge Randall's Decisions in Bankruptcy It was upon this view of t e matter, the 87th rule of this Court was adopted. We do not refuse to allow a defendant to enter special bail merely because he has neglected to offer it until an execution has been sued out a ainst him; because the equity of the act extends to such a case, alt ough the letter of it does not. - Nor do we set aside an execution as matter of course and without terms and at any time within the thirty days, because not only the defendant has lost his legal right by his de a but the plaintiff has acquired a lien upon the defendant's goods. Sides it would be inconvenient in practice to interpose at any time and in every stage of the proceedings, and set them aside on the defendant's motion, and he has no right to ask the Court or the Opposite party to submit to inconvenience which he could have prevented by entering security without delay. Accordingly, this Court has declared by the rule before mentioned, that if the defendant intends to enter special bail for the stay of exe cation during thirty days, he shall enter it within seven days from'the rendition of the judgment, and if an execution has been issued, the defendant shall pay the costs of the writ and of the proceedings un der it - Yet if the defendant has allowed seven days to elapse from the rendition of the judgment, he may still enter absolute security for the sum recovered, at any time within thirty days from the rendition of the judgment and thereby obtain a stay of execution during the period allowed by law in such a case.

This volume, which is a part of the University of Pennsylvania Law School Series, constitutes a commendable effort to contribute to the understanding of the historic development of American law. As the author states, colonial legal history has not received the attention it deserves. It is, indeed, a rich field in which nearly every phase of judicial and legislative law-making is illustrated. The history of the colony of Pennsylvania is especially interesting, as it takes its beginning with the political and legal ideas of Penn. The author has studied the development of the entire system of courts in Pennsylvania down to the beginning of the nineteenth century. The work is founded upon direct research in all the available sources. The value of this book is enhanced by the manner of treatment; the author does not confine himself to a study of the organization of courts, but in dealing with their jurisdiction and methods, he presents an abundance of interesting material which throws light upon the general development of law in the colonial era and the early decades of the Commonwealth. The book is thus of permanent value, and constitutes a building stone in the slowly growing edifice of American legal history. -University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Vol. 59
