Colony of N ow Haven
H ad Firet Blue Law»
■
■
■
i
la 1713 It was ordered by the gen
eral court that a suitable man be ap
pointed to construct a rode of laws for
Hie New Haven colony. The apitolnt-
ment fell to Governor Eaton and he
was inatructed by the general court
to study the laws of Massachusetts
colony, and also the "Discourse on
Civil Government In a New Planta
tion,” by Reverend Mister Gotton, to
aid him In his work.
Governor* Eaton promptly Issued a
code of laws, nuiny of which were
from the Mnssacliuaetts code. Duly
presented to the elders of correct Jur
isdiction, the fruit of tlie governor's
toll wag by them approved and paused,
says the Detroit New». The general
court, moreover, ordered 500 copies
to be printed for the Now Haven col
onists.
At this period of history New Haven
was an entirely different and separate
colony from Connecticut, the latter be
ing made up of the towns of Hart
ford, Windsor and Wethersfield and
wild adjacent territory.
The term “blue laws,” therefore, un
doubtedly came from the fact that the
first printed laws of either colony, be
ing those of Governor Eaton, were
enveloped io blue paper. So the code
of Governor Eaton comprised the real
and original blue laws and since these
were enacted for New Haven colony
It Is further established that they
should be called the "blue laws of New
Haven colony” ami not of Connecticut
The laws of other colonies were also
used In constructing the code and many
of them are at the preaent time upon
the statute hooks of Connecticut. Many j
of the better laws of thut state today |
are founded on them.
