The Learned Solicitor observed upon this caseaf the Qoi'ter SessienS, 'where billff were found . by the Sittings Grand Jury, mouths after they were sworn.

He defied she Gentlemen on the opposite &de, or any man, to produce even a soli tary instance in which a challenge was ever made before; not one could be found after the research; and was it therefore on such grounds that the Counsel- for the Crown was called. tadernur ?--No I he trusted the Court would at once quash it, and not place the Xing in the humiliating situation of being obliged to answer it. He asked---Will you.-establish this maxim—that the King, who stands tiS prosecutor for the public at large, would regard Ay individual (*arable to him ? It was a most alarming and ereenstrous no ve)ty that the King was standing in the same sites tidn as a private person: What.. ,was the ;Challenge of i a Petty, Jury ? Why was-between. man and' in4n. The question was, whether the King, as the 'first Magistrate of these nations; wielding his oat ho rio for the public welfare, was to answer whether oe not he stood in a corrupt and favenrablerelation 'ship with a'GrandJuFor ; and to whoin was be to answer I • Why 10 every man whastood a chance of being iedieled for a low theft, a petty misde neanour, or insignitleautlarceny : , .—thus every pick , pocket may challenge the Sovereigu use corrupter of a*?Grancl Jury.

Of Serjeant Hawkins.—lt. Was there. leid 'down that where the Crown was concerned, ,as eXCePtion to the favour was not allow,able even where a petit Juror was ,coucerned, only in case where the She riff should impannel tk. valet or Menial servant of the - Kitig's. There 'was snottier, case which he, should not. cite as high • Constitutional authority, but •to shew that this was the prevailing opinion. It was the opinion of Judge Jeffries, which he would not have named, had it not been support ed by Ithet great Constitutional Lawyer, - Lard Holt,. who delivered an opinion in the reign of King William, when nothing: but the principles of Liberty were promulgated in these coun `tries, and a jealousy existed in all emits where consttutional freedom . wits interested. At this period, an opinion delivered by a sitting Judge must be -.considered tolerably tree from the obse quiousnes, to Royalty; -but be would remark,. that he believed no motives would be found, even under, the worst period in. our History, to have prevented Lord Chief Justices • Holt from giving a fair and con-, stitutional• opinion.—The opinion he alluded to. Was strong, conclusive .and satisfadtory. The per, • son who gave it, was a volunteer on the occasion-- he made it specific and definite; he had it qualifleel With no " scateih," but,d . clikred.4 expressly and uncoeditienally fruits ihe Benda on a great question. The case on which it was delivered was that of the King against Sir William Parkins and ethers, (4th State Trials, Gat}. It was not a G randJ ury case ; it was not a case in which Cones:4 challenged e Grand Pannel for a . half accused nem ; but one in which is Jary sat upoa life, property', and inheri table blood. Sir William Parkins challenged se veral of the P..innel, alleging that they were the King's servants ; •he to the - favour..-the Attorney General thought poper not to Stieggie the point; the prisoner stood by to make his choice.-- Alter lie had taken exception to the. second person, .feird Holt addresied him, saying, " yen letve•Onil lenged two Jurors, namely Handcock and another, which you allege are servants. I see no, cause, for the challenge but the Kleg'S Counsel do not mean to contc.'st 'the point. Howeter ,1 would not have,,it, understood tli it the p r i nci p le you go on goed; far it tional,to throw out an insinuation,that when the King, does not stand in . his eersik - il eh:treacle a collusion exists between him and the Juror."—Thii was the opinion of I.

Mr, Justice DAY.-1 think, Mr.,Burrnwes, the hest mode would be to follow the- course the Sell. citpr General ,has laid down,. and prescribed fur himself. Buenowes said,, he should then begin by ad vetting to wbaLhad.been laid down by the Solicitor General. For iliefitif time in , hii life,. he heard.,it this day serionslrargeed .by his learned and.eloquent friend, shit a Grand Jury were not materially instrumental in advancing the ends 'of justice, and that they should nig of. consequence be sttbjefi to the same oriel scrutiny that -adects a Petit Jury, Toe great boast of our Qoustitution is, that no man can be legally tried without the unailimous concurrence of two Juries, Without a' concurrence of twenty-, three to find a bill, of indiCttnent, . and tweke, to s u bsequently, , aeepde,upoo its ..merits. This is 'the great boast of our Constitution—without a Grand Jury we would conceive our liberties endangered— both are' - necessary, both arsrequal—bet this day, for the first time, do we.,.hear it .maintained, that an accused party feels an interest in the integrity, .of one, and a perfect indiftei'ettee in the charac ter of the other. If then a Grand Jury isms entire ceretnutiy, a mere formal 'business, an immate rial' antecedent to something - that is to follow, ~ what, he would ask, is the meaning of their be.. ing Freeholders of Certain income--their being' probi et /egaies- , —nerion4 ot,integrify, charaoer, anal conscience; to whom life and liberty may he con:- ti led. Thole is no subjeetuport which the Cengti. lutten has.been more jealous, than upon guarding thee, purity of Juries. Ir wisely furn ishes the sehjeet with two classei ef: - . Obje4;tions for the preservation of 'his liberty—one. arising ,from the charatier of the per son arraying a jury, and the other ` front the indivi. dual characters pt the:persons impatielled , --and ne ver did he hear it before urged that those objeCtiotts were applic:ible . ;elotie to one jury.
