The Justices of the Peace for the County of Luzerne are destitute of the laws of the State. It seems that heretofore Justices of the Peace have been furnished with the laws at the expence of the State, the Justices of Luzerne have expressed their hopes that they may be supplied in the same way, and requested me to make the application in their behalf. I beg leave to express my hopes also, that they may be so furnished; otherwise I fear they will, for the most part, remain unprovided, and the laws unexecuted. At the same time it is proper that I should add, that there was manifested a general disposition to conform to the laws, with great punctuality and many were solicitously enquiring what were the laws in particular cases, that they might not transgress them. I have the honor to be, Sir, your Excellency’s most obedient servant,
