An ACT to amend the Act entitled "An Act establishing county Courts, Courts of Quarter Sessions and a Court of Oyer and Terminer."
WHEREAS, an Act passed last session entitled "An Act establishing county Courts, Courts of Quarter Sessions and a Court of Oyer and Terminer," requires explaining and amending; therefore,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly, That the justices commissioned in each county to hold the courts of Quarter Sessions, shall not have cognizance of any business out of court; except in misdemeanors and matters of a criminal nature, and attachments which may be issued by any justice of the peace and shall be returned to the next court of Quarter Sessions where the debt or demand is of the value of five pounds current money, or one thousand pounds of tobacco. There shall be an appeal allowed from the judgment of a single justice for any sum over twenty-five shillings to the next monthly court to be held for the county; and such proceedings shall be had thereon as is directed by the above recited Act to be had in the court of Quarter Sessions; and the party appealing, shall give sufficient security to be approved by the justice from whose judgment the appeal is made. All judgments given for twenty-five shillings or under, by a single justice, shall be final; and a justice may award execution for any sum over twenty-five shillings against the body of the party convicted, nevertheless the debtor may release his body from execution, by delivering a sufficiency of property to satisfy the debt and costs; and a justice of the county court shall have power to issue a summons to cause any person as a witness living in another county, to appear and give evidence in any matter that may be depending before them, at the request of either party; and such witness shall be entitled to two pence per mile for travelling to and from, and ferrages to be taxed in the bill of costs. The justices of the court of Quarter Sessions shall be justices of the court of Oyer and Terminer for trying of any slave charged with a capital offence; and they shall order the Sheriff to impanel a jury of twelve men from among the by-standers, for a trial of the matters of fact, and in all other respects, proceed agreeable to the rule established in the court of Oyer and Terminer, except that no grand jury shall be impanelled on the indictment of any slave. Every justice of the peace shall have power to issue his warrant to apprehend any person charged before him with any criminal offence, which in his opinion, ought to be examined into, or tried by the courts of Quarter Sessions; and such justice shall have power to examine and commit the
prisoner to the county jail, and to take recognizance of witnesses, and issue his warrant to the Sheriff of the county, requiring him to summon the justices of the court of Quarter Sessions for the examination or trial, as the case may be, of the prisoner as is given by the before recited Act to any justice of the court of Quarter Sessions; the court of Quarter Sessions or any two justices thereof, shall have power to award writs of Ne Exeat to prevent any person moving out of this Commonwealth, Injunctions or Habeas Corpus. And also award writs of Audita Querela on judgments heretofore had in the supreme court that may be sent to the courts of Quarter Sessions, which writs shall be issued by the Clerk, and returnable to the said court of Quarter Sessions to which the said judgment shall be removed.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the court of Quarter Sessions for the county of Washington shall be held in the months, March, May, August and October, instead of February, April, June and September.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the judges of the court of Oyer and Terminer shall and they are hereby empowered to hold two additional sessions, one commencing the third Monday in January, the other the first Monday in July, and shall be governed by the same rules and regulations as is prescribed by "An Act establishing county Courts, Courts of Quarter Sessions, and a Court of Oyer and Terminer."
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the monthly county courts or any justice thereof, when acting in their judicial capacity, shall have the same power to punish contempts of their authority, as is given the courts of Quarter Sessions.
Sec. 5. This Act shall commence and be in force from and after the passage thereof.

LEXINGTON, January 5.  The following accounts received by the last Mail.
PARIS, September 17.
The Combination formed against France, is every day becoming more formidable. All the advices from Germany, Spain and Sardinia, agree in the accounts they give of the expensive preparations which are carrying on against us. The King of Great Britain, in his German character of Elector of Hanover, has not merely avowed his intentions of taking part with the two great Courts, but has been most conspicuous and forward in engaging others to coalesce. His Hanoverian minister, as you will see officially notified to the assembly, has travelled over Germany, to make converts to the cause of the Princes. The King of Spain has thrown off the flimsy disguise of neutrality, and assuredly declared himself for hostilities. Sardinia at the same time, has no longer occasion for Jesuitism, but threatens determined war.
The general idea of the plan of the crusade against France is as follows.
1. "The united armies of Prussia and Austria have no hope beyond the reduction of the northern departments, in which, if possible, they mean to plant themselves for the winter, not entering Paris, but holding the chief quarters of the camp at St. Denis.
2. "The whole of the Southern frontier to be menaced and held in check by Spain and Sardinia, while a diversion may be made by the Swiss Cantons.
3. "Thus invested in the South and North, England, for they cannot separate the King of England from the Elector of Hanover, is to threaten the departments opposite to the Channel, that the Panic may be general: and thus assailed on all sides, the mediation of England is to be ordered for the establishment of a limited monarchy."
The Duke of Brunswick is posted with an army of 50,000 men between Verdun and Clermont. 15,000 emigrants, with 5,000 other troops, are behind Longwy.
General Clairfayt, with 30,000 Austrians is in the neighbourhood of Carignan. There are about 25,000 Austrians between Sertelous and Longwy which together with other small bodies, make in all 132,000 men without including the troops of Brissgaw and Flanders, who are said to amount to 80,000.
September 19.
By letters received Tuesday and Wednesday last, we learn, that during the nights of Sunday and Monday last, the mob here broke open the Jewel-office belonging to the crown, and stole out of it all the jewellery and regalia.
The treasury deposited in this place, comprising diamonds and other precious stones, the rich presents made by foreign princes, &c. was by far more valuable than that belonging to any other crowned head in Europe. The total value of the diamonds, pearls, colored stones and diamond ornaments of the King's dress alone, is estimated about one million sterling.
Monsr. Merlin, member of the committee of researches, has given the following account of the robbery.
At ten at night, a patrol of the section of the Thuilleries perceived a man who was descending the lamp post of the jewellery office. On seizing him, his pockets were found full of jewels, Diamonds, gold and silver. Another robber, in attempting to escape by throwing himself from the top of one of the pillars, was wounded in the head and taken; he was covered with brilliants, and had a handkerchief full of gold and
silver, diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and topazes. The National Assembly has this morning named four of its members to be present at the information of this affair. Two considerable diamonds, one named the Regent, worth 500,000. sterling, & the Sanci, are carried off, with all the most precious brilliants. The value is estimated at several millions sterling.
In consequence of this depredation, an order was issued instantly to shut the barriers, and search every person who attempted to pass. At the same time couriers were dispatched on every road leading from the capital, with orders to stop every carriage they met.
LYONS, September 13.
In imitation of the example set by the Parisians, the prisons in this city were forced open and the prisoners, tho' defended by Municipal Officers were all slaughtered indiscriminately: nothing could exceed the fury of the populace, and the effects it produced are too shocking to relate; several heads were carried through the streets. One of the prisoners had escaped from his murderers, and came to the Hall of the Magistrates to implore protection; but even his judges could not save him from the monsters that were in pursuit of him, and who cut him in pieces, with several other unfortunate citizens and prisoners, in the very presence of the officers of justice.
At night the bloody scene increased,—every moment the prisons were opened—a great number of priests were murdered—one of them was disguised in womens cloaths: the slaughter did not cease till the streets were covered with dead bodies.
An insurrection has also taken place at St. Martin, near Lyons; seven persons, among whom were four priests, were saved from being massacred, by a part of the National Guards.
LONDON, September 21.
The corporation of Dublin, in Common Hall, on the 4th inst. took into consideration the petition of the Roman Catholics, who claim a right to equal immunities and privileges with the Protestants. This petition the Corporation have rejected, as tending to overturn those principles on which the Constitution is founded.
The question between the Protestants and the Catholics in Ireland is agitating with much vigor. The appointment of Delegates, by the latter, having been treated as illegal by some persons of considerable weight, the opinions of Mr. Rutler and Mr. Burston, two of the leading Counsel there have been taken upon it, who have declared the measure to be one of the unalienable rights of the Nation.
ALL persons are hereby forewarned at their peril, from hunting, firing a gun, cutting timber or driving stock on my two tracts of land adjoining Boonsborough and the Tate's bottom tracts, and the tract adjoining thereto.
William Calk.

In the House of REPRESENTATIVES Dec. 18th 1792.
M. R. S. Taylor from the Committee who were appointed to prepare and report the probable annual amount of the Revenue and expenditures of this State, made the following report viz o
"Your Committee have examined the returns made to the Auditor by the Commissioners of the tax, and where no returns have been made, they have formed the best estimate in their power of the amount of the taxable property in such counties, and find the amount of the whole tax which is to be collected by the Sheriffs to be about £6640 9 0 2 which after deducting five per cent for collection leaves a balance of £6242 1 0 2
"Your Committee had no data from which they could form an opinion of the amount of the taxes on law process and alienations, which are to be collected by the Clerks; but have ventured to suppose it will amount to about £200 which after deducting five per cent for collection will leave a balance of £190 to be paid into the public Treasury, which added to the sum of £6242 1 0 2 the supposed balance of the taxes to be collected by the Sheriffs makes the sum of £6432 1 0 2 which will be the probable amount of the annual Revenue of this state.
"Your Committee having been at considerable loss in fixing the amounts of expenditures of Government, as far as they had materials for that purpose they have used them, where they failed, they were obliged to have recourse to conjecture, the amount thus ascertained they make to be about £4471 1 8 1-2 as will appear from the account annexed.
"Your Committee have thus discharged the duty enjoined on them by the House, but think it proper to add a few remarks on the subject.
"The second tax which will be payable in this state, will commence the first day of December 1793, and at that same day the expenses of the Government will be to be paid by the state for eighteen months; because the government commenced its operation the first day of June 1792; therefore unless there is a sufficiency now levied to pay the expenses of the whole up to that time there will be debts due from the state of which must be provided for at some future day, perhaps, it may be unnecessary to take the tax of this half year into consideration in the imposing of taxes at this time, because the same tax next year will from the natural increase of the subjects of taxation from the information of them into the state by emigrants, and from the new settlements which will be made on our out lands, together with such as have failed in giving in their lands the present year (owing to various causes) will probably produce as much more than it will on the present collection as will be equal to the amount of the expenditures of those six months including the expenses of the first session of Assembly; because it is supposed that one session a year will be sufficient hereafter, and because as many of the public offices were not filled at the time the government took place; and as many arrangements, which swell the expenses, has since and may yet be made, it is probable the additional expenses caused by the first six months including the expense of said session, will not be more than equal to the annual expenses in future of the state.
"Your committee cannot close their report without observing with pleasure that as the annual expenditures of the government will not hereafter exceed what it is at present including the expense of the first session &c and that as the amount of the Revenue must be annually increased, by the increase of the subjects of taxation as stated above that after the second collection of the taxes now laid, there is the greatest reason to believe that they may be greatly decreased until they will become so low as not to be very burthensome to our fellow citizens.
