The business of the sessions terminated at about six
o'clock. As will be seen from our report, no leas than
18 of the 34 prisoners for trial at the Sessions pleaded
guilty. The grand jury ignored the bills in three cares,
two of which were from the Wareham division. The
Grand Jury at the termination of their labours, but
before being dismissed, expressed through Mr. Patch,
their foreman, their concurrence in the address adopted
on the previous day by the county magistrates. It had
been signed by him as expressive of the sympathy of the
county generally, as well as that of the magistrates.
