Review, VIII. 492. 22 and judge; and Rocheblave explained that persons accused of crime demanded first English and then French law according as one or the other was favorable to them. From these complaints it is evident that Rocheblave was acting as sole judge in both civil and criminal cases and that the English bench of seven judges no longer existed, 1 Although a reversion to the older French procedure had appar- ently taken place, still Todd might have urged the previous use of the English ...court as a justification for ignoring the French model: for the inherent dislike of Americans for the one-man rule would have debarred that kind of a court, even if there had been anyone in the county capable of performing the duties of judge. It is reason- able to suppose that the English residents, such as Daniel Murray and Richard Winston, must have thrown the weight of their influence against the reinstatement of the French tribunal. - Todd apparently gave little attention to either of these earlier courts; for there were in existence judicial institutions with which he was familiar, even if the inhabitants had not yet become accustomed to them.
