Chancery Practice on the American Frontier: A Study of the Records of the Supreme Court of Michigan Territory, 1805-1836

The act of Congress of January 11, 1805, which created Michigan Territory out of Indiana Territory, provided that the new territory should have a government in all respects similar to that provided for the Northwest Territory by the Ordinance of 1787. The Ordinance had provided for the appointment of a court to consist of three judges who should have a common law jurisdiction

Probate and Administration on the American Frontier: A Study of the Probate Records of Wayne County- Northwest Territory 1796-1803; Indiana Territory 1803-1805; Michigan Territory 1805-1816

As late as 1815 there was only one county in Michigan Territory- Wayne County- made up of parts of the territory to which the Indian titles had been extinguished. As other counties were organized beginning in 1817, Wayne County was reduced to its present size. A law adopted July 27, 1818, provided that a probate court should be held in each county. By a proclamation dated October 2, 1818, Acting Governor Woodbridge declared it was no longer expedient to continue the present subdivisions of this territory into districts for probate purposes; instead, each county should be a separate District and County for the purposes of the law establishing courts of probate. A law adopted August 26, 1819, directed the now register of wills, administrations, etc., in and for the county of Wayne to transmit forthwith to the respective registers in and for the counties of Monroe, Macomb, and Mackinaw all wills, inventories of estates, returns of administrators or executors, bonds, decrees, orders, and all other documents, papers, and vouchers whatsoever, remaining on file in his office relating to the estate of any testator or intestate who at the time of his death resided within the limits of the counties named. That McDougall then Register of Wills (not judge of probate) of Wayne County was slow in complying with the command of the statute is indicated by the fact that a motion was made in the territorial supreme court on November 16, 1819, for a rule requiring him to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to him, commanding him to obey the requisitions of the statute

The Development of Labial Clusters in the Aśokan Rock Edicts

The original range of consonant clusters in Indo-Aryan reduced significantly over time, developing into geminates, homorganic nasal-stop clusters, and sonorant-h clusters in Middle Indo-Aryan. Early Middle Indo-Aryan, as represented in the Aśokan inscriptions, however, still maintained the original clusters, or what appear to be transitional stages of the extensive changes. Salient among those cluster changes that are observed in the Aśokan inscriptions are the changes tm, tv> tp and dv > db in Girnār in the west; sm, sv > sp in Shāhbāzgaṛhī and Mānsehrā in the north-west; and mh > mbh in Kālsī in the north and in Dhaulī and Jaugaḍa in the east. The idiosyncratic nature of these changes lies in the development of a stop from m or v, where the more usual changes would be loss or assimilation of m after a stop and of v after a stop or a sibilant, while sm and hm would normally change to mh. This paper examines the manner assimilation of the “labial” clusters (that is, the clusters with m or v that normally do not incur assimilation of the adjacent consonant) in the Aśokan Rock Edicts. It discusses the conditions, the motivation, the course of the change of m/v to a labial stop, and the dialectal differences associated with this change
