[p. 31]RECORD OF ATTORNEYS ADMITTED TO PRACTICE IN THE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURTS OF MAINE.
In the clerk's office of the Supreme Judicial Court of York County is a book called the Bar Book. (N. J. Herrick in the Biddeford Standard, Oct., 1891. The terms of the Supreme Judicial Court were held at York, Portland, Wiscasset and Castine. At this time I think there was only one Clerk for the Court and he attended at all the Terms.)
