"June 19, 1851, the court of the common pleas for the County of Noble passed the following order:
'It appearing to the court that the Township of Wayne is a newly set-off township, and that it is therefore determined by the court that two will be a sufficient number of justices of the peace of the said township; and the court do further determine that the voters of the said township proceed, on the 12th day of July, 1851, to elect the said justices of the peace; and is further ordered that the clerk of this court forthwith transmit a certified copy of this proceeding to the trustees of the said township.'
In accordance with this order, an election was held, and James Rich and Abner Williams were chosen the first justices of the township. Rich qualified on the 1st of August, and Williams on the 7th of the same month, 1851."
