_I§IEQQCCTICN
The First Congress, held in New York City, passed the Judiciary Act
of September 24, 1789, to establish the courts of the United States.
This act provided for a district court in the district of Kentucky,
then the western part of Virginia. Two days after the passage of the
act President George Washington appointed the Hon. Henry Innes (1752-
l8l6),judge of the Kentucky court. With his commission the first
president enclosed a letter which, with the commission, has survived
until this time. Washington wrote Innes as follows:
"United States,
Septerker 50th, 1799.
"Sir,
I have the pleasure to enclose you a Commission as Judge
of the United States for the District of Kontuckoy; to which
office I have nominated, and, by and with the advice and con-
sont of tho Senate, have appointed you.
In my nomination of persons to fill offices in the Judi-
cial Department, I have been guided by the importance of the
object —- considering it as of the first magnitude -- and as
the pillar upon which our political fabric must rest. I have
endeavored to bring into the high offices of its administration
such Characters as will give stability and dignity to our Nation-
al Government, and I persuade myself that they will discover a
ldue desire to promote the hay inoss of our Country by a ready ac-
-coptance of their several apnointmonts. — The Laws which have
passed relative to your office accompany the Commission.
I am, Sir,
with very great esteem,
Your host Ob't. Servant,
Go. Washington."
"Tho llonbl .
Henry Innes ."
Innes organized the court in mid-autumn and held its first sessions
at Harrodsburg, December 15, 178U. harrodsburg is, perhaps, the old-
ost Kentucky town. Three years later, Juno 1, 1792, Kentucky was ad-
mitted into the union; and two years after that time or Juno 9, 1794,
Congress passed another act removing the district court for tho dis-
trict of Kentucky fron Earrodsburg to Frankfort, the capitol of the
new state. The last term of the Court in harrodsburg was held on
September 1C, l7Gd.
In the Act of Qarch 5, 1797, Conjress fixed the times of the court’s
sessions as the second Iondays in Perch and the third Londays in Juno
and Yovwnber of each year.
By the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress also established in each dis-
trict a Circuit Court, and the District Court of hontuety was given
.s

Circuit Ceurt jurislictien. The Circuit Ceurt was heli by twc Justices
cf the Supreme Ceurt, assisted by s Jistrict judge; but the growth ef
business in the Supreym Ccurt mnde it iuprueticsble fer the members ef
