His lordship, in charging the Grand Jury, observed, that although he was not able to offer them his congratulations as his learned Brothers had done for the last three years yet a view of the calendar afforded proper grounds for rejoicing. Notwithstanding no sessions had been recently held in the borough, there were only two cases for their con- sideration, an obvious feature of good conduct amongst the lower classes. His lordship expressed himself glad that the same spirit did not extend thus far, which has occupied the attention of the court in a neighbouring county and stated his firm conviction that nothing had a stronger tendency to the improvement of the moral behaviour of the lower classes than a sound religious education his lordship concluded this part of his observations by stating that the calendar proved great attention had been paid to religious instruction in this county. Of the two cases which would be brought before the Grand Jury, his lordship observed one of them was for larceny, the other for bigamy: he then briefly entered into the particulars of the cases, and remarked that any statements made by the prisoners, ought to be received with caution. The Grand Jury then retired to consider the bills, during which the first cause at nisi prius was called on. Jones, and another, v. Edwards.
