SUPERIOR COURT.

   At the election in September, 1879, Hon. G. G. Clough was chosen judge of the
superior court of Plumas county, and opened his court on the fifth of January,
1880, the following being the record:

                     IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE COUNTY OF PLUMAS,
                       STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Monday, January 5, 1880.

   The court convened pursuant to law.

   Present, Hon. G. G. Clough, Superior Judge; W. T. Byers, Clerk; J. H. Yeates,
Sheriff; R. H. F. Variel, Dist. Atty.

   It is hereby ordered that the clerk of this court procure a seal therefor,
bearing the same device shown on the seal of the district court heretofore used
in that court, and to have the following description surrounding the same:
"Superior Court, Plumas County, California."

   It is hereby ordered that the clerk of this court enter all probate matters
coming before this court in the books provided for the late probate court, and
all other matters, whether formerly of county or district court jurisdiction, in
the records provided for the late district court.

   It is hereby ordered that J. D. Goodwin, E. T. Hogan, and R. H. F. Variel,
Esqs., be appointed a committee to examine H. P. Wormley, Esq., as to his
qualifications to perform the duties of official phonographic reporter of this
court, and that said committee file their report on or before Monday, the 12th
inst., at 10 o'clock A. M. of said day.

   It is hereby ordered that until the further order of this court the hour of
meeting for the business of each day be fixed at 10 o'clock A. M.

   The court then adjourned for the day.
                                                G. G. CLOUGH, Judge.

   On the preceding page of the record appears a copy of the certificate of
election of G. G. Clough as superior judge of Plumas county, signed by William
Irwin, governor, November 1, 1879, and attested by Thomas Beck, secretary of state.

   This court, created by the new constitution, combines the duties and powers
of the former district, probate, and county courts, and is the only court of
record in the county. There are twelve judges of the superior court in the city
and county of San Francisco, two in each of the counties of Sacramento, San
Joaquin, Los Angeles, Sonoma, Santa Clara, and Alameda, one in the counties of
Yuba and Sutter combined, and one in each of the other counties of the State.
The term of office of a judge of the superior court is six years.
