Commissions of the justices were read and the courts organized. || Not until June 12, did Francois Car- bonneaux, the notary of the Virginia period, transfer to William St. Clair the records and public papers of the recorder's office at Kas- kaskia.^ St. Clair's administrative duties in Illinois, however, were cut short by the increasing hostilties of the Indians throughout the Northwest. On June 11, 1790, he left the Illinois country for Fort Harmar and the responsibility of governments fell u...pon the newly organized courts. Our knowledge of the court of Kaskaskia over which John Edgar presided as chief justice is, at present, exceedingly meagre, although it is possible that further investigations may throw more lig'ht on the sub- ject. ** William St. Clair, clerk of the court, wrote in June 1793, "we have no organized government whatever. Our courts are in a deplorable state ; no order is kept in the interior and many times not held. Prairie du Rocher had no court this some time, and Kaskaskia has failed be- fore.
