Three judges were chosen by a joint ballot of both houses of the general assembly, to hold Office for the term of seven years, or so long (within said period) as they well behaved. There were three judges until 1807, when a fourth was chosen by the joint legislature. The fourth judge was omitted in 1810, and a few years later the number four was resumed again and so continued until 1851.
