The difficulties he had to overcome were almost insuper able. He had no court house, no officers. There were only about half a dozen American families at Green Bay, and all the rest Of the population were not only unfriendly but viewed with jealousy and suspicion the introduction Of American Courts and institutions, as a serious in terference with their peculiar customs and relations. One of the greatest dif ficulties was to find a sufficient number of English speaking citizens to summon as jurors; after this difficulty was over come, Court was formally opened in the late Col. Irwin's log tavern, in a room about twenty feet square. This house was situated near the then village of Shanty-town, but all traces of it have disappeared many years since.
