Gentlemen of the Grand Jery,—The calendar is
DOi very .mmieroas, sad there an but twe or throe
oases which will rtqapr• any °herniation from
a.; the minutia, therefore, with which I
shall dation you from poor duties will
be very brief. The first am., which is rather
oat of RAG ordinary corns° is the rase of a
gum •named Frederick liar qem-dt, who is
orhergs d with the manslaughter of Frans
;Sobr eds., at Portland. It sneers that three two
.inen deceased end the party whom It is
?possible you may pleas at the bar, were mama on
board the same ship; they had a dispute ; one
waled the other of not being obit to do hie work,
or of shirking it • there was a straggle sad a
fight between them, upon which the prison...
drew hie knife and stabbed the doomed,

who then and there died. It is a perfectl
rear era of lornicide, and insomuch as it .ir.
be pretesd 4iyi the wituessee for the prosecution
that Ain was • fight sad • straggle between
drovirefes, it is equally clear that it was • hies of
enandaughter, and sot a asse of murder. Bet err
wreetioos may arise readily as to the jurisdiction of
the Court and y. .e tent pardon me for making oar
or two observations on that subject. You are aware
that your jurisdiction attends to the limits of the
county of Dorset, and the juriediatios of every other
greed jury extents over the body of thee comity in
like wanner; bet, then is 00 matter in which you ,

hand, it is equally older that, as an English ship is

happens that the vessel was in Portlaod roads.
Y.. 0 understand the geography of your county a
great deal better than I do ; it rosy be that that is
within the body of the comity of Dorset, yet it may
depend time the spot where Me ship was, and I
think, perhaps, the earn coarse I can adopt for the
prisoner as well r for the prosecution, is to recom-
mend you to inquire into the fens whether the
deceased did tome by his death through the ant of
the prisoner somewhere in Portland Roads, and I
will take care to the hest of my ability that if a

there ia rod restos to believe the man committsd
perjury and is likely to he coorioted, you will return

by ignoring it. It is • stetter manly for you, and
I submit it for your mreful considersties, being de-
sirous of bevies the assistamie as mod as riassilis in

Now, independently of the oommoo lair upon this
subject, there is • swath to width I will call year
amanita°. It provides that, wbosoever, being
legally liable, either as master or miatrimm, So pro-
vide for any apprentice or servant nommery food,

Mall unlawfully and melitionely do, or cense to be
