Among them are Stephen A. Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, John J. Hardin, James Shields, John A. McClernand, O. H. Browning, Archibald Williams, John T. Stuart, Lyman Trumbull, E. D. Baker, and Stephen T. Logan, whose names may be frequently seen in the earlier reports of the Supreme Court and some of whom still survive. Our first Constitution was framed in the summer of 1818. It established a Supreme Court of four judges, who were also required to hold Circuit Courts, and who, with the governor, con...stituted a Council of Revision. They were elected by the General Assembly. Joseph Phillips was the first Chief-Justice, and Thomas C. Browne, William P. Foster, and John Reynolds were Associate-Justices. Phillips was represented as a lawyer of fine intellectual endow- ments. He resigned his seat upon the bench in 1822, and became a candidate for governor against Edward Coles, but was defeated. Thomas Reynolds was appointed in his place. Judge Foster is described, historically, as no lawyer and a great rascal.
