When the Governor-General first established the court in Murali, Mr. Tillman Henkel was appointed as its first judge and magistrate, and Mr. Richard Rocky was appointed as his registrar. In the first month, the judge received a salary of Rs. 1 and his salary increased from Rs. 2 to Rs. 2 on February 24, and he got more than Rs. 1 for additional duties as magistrate. Later, as a judge on May 5, his salary was reduced to Rs 1,320. He received a portion of the institutional fee for the petitions submitted to the civil court. The salary of the register was only Rs.
Tillman Henkel and Richard Rocky have long been involved in all administrative and judicial activities in Jessore. They were people of a slightly higher standard. Mr. Tillman Henkel's name is still remembered, and his administrative history appears to have governed him admirably. He was a well-known name-wrongdoer, with hundreds of hands away from his troubles every hundred years. Providing no benefits to the subjects was beyond his reach. The basic mantra of his administration structure was "It is the responsibility of the government to ensure happiness and peace for the general public". Although it undermined the business interests of the company, he still sought to fulfill this responsibility. This spirit was far more advanced than its era because at that time government officials considered the natives as the only way to make a profit. Mr. Henkel was never unfriendly to the business interests of his appointing authority. But at the same time, he put the task at the forefront of his duty as a protector of property for the helpless natives who had become subjects of commercial officers and landlords.
Mr. Rocky began his duties in Jessore at 9. When he was under Mr. Henkel, he kept his view. But when he became head of the office, he moved on to his own policy. It is true that the result of Mr. Henkel's administrative continuity has long been felt in this district for a long time. An earlier document in the history of this district draws attention to the fact that two men, Mr. Henkel and Rocky, who were at the head of the overall administration during the establishment of the first administrative structure of 3 and the permanent settlement of Lord Cornwallis's 3, who had the administrative status of the district, are raw. Made him into a permanent structure They are still in force today
