Deserie Kesterson daughter of dispensing before the trial. justice Interpretation of the law in the western United States was, and sometimes is, a far cry from the courts of Britain upon whose system ours is presumably based. Westerners have always held a e personal, view of justice. Thus, when one frontier justice tired of hearing the standard bailiff's Latin Oyez, Oyez, opening court, he took matters unto himself, rose, and announced wearily, Trot out the wicked and the unfortunate, and let the cotillion commence I Clear the rafters The idea that residents of the frontier always welcomed law and order is frequently expounded by 20th Century observers. Courts of law were sometimes welcome as a diversion. In Pennsylvania in 1803 the first session of court in Butler County found a judge seated literally at the bar (until his arrival, the owner had been freely dispensing good whiskey in a rough of local brew) roof log cabin whose close-to-hom- rafters were exposed. The defendant was a local boy, and whatever the charge, we may be sure that it was not public intoxication. That phrase pretty well described the entire jury. News of any type of public gathering attracted a crowd, and this one had men sitting (and hanging) from the rafters, as there was limited seating on the first floor. The judge summoned the defendant forward, but in the crowded cabin the man melted and simply seconds later the bailiff announced in a strong Scotch Irish accent, Yer honor, the defendant has escaped, dye moind? The spectators set up such a whoop of laughter at this that the discomfited judge ordered the bailiff to clear the rafters. Law had arrived in Butler County. Bravos and hired the 1840s the By frontier had moved wct. Arriving for court at the Shelby County, Texas chambers of Judge John Hansford, the sheriff found this note: Being unwilling to risk my person in the courthouse any longer where I see myself surrounded by bravos and hired assassins and no longer left free to preside as an impartial judge at this term of court by proclamation and without delay. The judges fears were well founded he was fatally shot on his doorstep within three months. Many frontier citizens had moved to their chosen areas to get away from the law, and an inhospitable attitude toward the western-rolling wheels of the judicial system was widespread.

Some judges just sort of demanded respect. Some got it whether they wanted it or not, as in the case of an Arizona justice who peered out over his jury and noted that one juror wore no coat. The judge regarded this as an affront to his judicial presence and ordered the juror to go home and get his coat. Three days later the juror returned, properly attired. The juror placidly explained that home was 80 miles away. ...
