Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 27. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Judge William Brockenbrough. (search)
cing in the year 1798 and ending in 1814. Copied from the Records of said Court, with explanatory notes by Judges Brockenbrough and Holmes. 1815. This work shows his disposition towards his profession and its members and the public. In it he was assisted by Judge Hugh Holmes, and it contained only 336 pages. But about ten years later, in 1826, he rendered a larger and greater service to the State by the publication of a second volume, of 680 pages, with an index to both volumes. About 1819, the general court came to a resolution that its decisions should be preserved in a manuscript volume, and should show the grounds on which they were made. The preparation of this volume devolved upon Judge Brockenbrough, as he resided in Richmond, where the records of the court were kept, and out of these facts grew his second printed volume of reports, in 1826. The wonder is how such an important matter was so long neglected. The general court was truly an imposing and august tribunal.
