In January, 1828, the Legislature appropriated $10,000 annually for the support of Public Schools, to be divided among the several towns in proportion to the population, with authority for each town to raise by annual tax double the amount received from the Treasury, as its proportion of the $10,000. There has been as yet no report of the number of school establishments under the act, but it is thought they may safely be put down at 60, as all the towns have availed themselves of its provisions. The whole number of Schools in the state now probably exceeds 650. Supreme Court.-Stephen T. Hosmer, Chief Justice 300 1,100 John T. Peters, Jeremiah G.
