I understand that the Board of

lal plan for Court- i 'oust in
State, varying a lit.ie in sizt , in
proportion to the diHerem e of the I-'n

this plan durability, strength, con
venience, neateness and cconomx
have heen consulted. Havin<r had
n
an opportunity of looking at its plan,
I ha\e no hesitation in paying, that
the erection of this building uia^ be
considered a strong evidence of pub
lic improvement. I he size wiil ln
conveuient aud the arrangement of
the interior >v ill he far superior to lis ?
of any within the ?tate ; it will he
in height two stories, and its first
floor w ill contain a large lobby for
the stairs, through which \ou enter
the Court room, a spacious Court
loom and two offices. The arrange
ment of the Court ro<|pj) is remai lia

commodation to the Judges anil
other officers, the Law\ei>, Jurors
ami such ot the t oinmum'y as attend
either upon business or as spectators,
upon the most eligible plan. In thel
Court room there is also a gallery of
Considerable widtlf, ornamented with
neat columns, extending the w hole
length of the building, in front of
the judges bench, w hich adds much
to the appearance and Convenience of
the spectators. On the second floor
there will be five offices with a large
passage, into which they will open.
Tne walls of the building will he

a view of the work already executed,
umler the immediate inspection of
the contractor, Vir. Grafton, w ho
has been much engage^ in public
>vorks, and of Mr. an ex
cellent workman, 1 make tio doubt,
that the whole wiil he of a superior
character, the finish will be particu
larly neat, dbtirely devoid of thit
coarseness which disgraces so nian\
of our public buildings. In the ex

pensive ornament^ but it possesses
a simple neatness very appropriate
to a building intended for its use.
Buildings of this Jund excite a re*
