CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
THIS DAY.

The March 'erica of the Central Criminal Coast cam.
mewed this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman Chas, and Sir C. Mar-
shall, the Sheriffs and Under Sheriffs, &c.
The calendar contains the namee,,f 185 prisoners.
The Retarder briefly charged the grand jury, and be
observed that although the great majority of the caw con-
taiaed in the calendar came within the description of the
offence of larceny, yet at the remainder several were of the
most serious description. There were two seem of murder,
one in which a wife was charged with poisoaiog her hus-
band ; and the other where a woman was charged with the
murder of her offspring, and, without desiring in any manner
to prejudge the inquiry, it appeared to him that if the facts
should he made out to the satisfaction of the grand jury, it
would be their duty to put both these cues in a train to
undergo fall inquiry before the petty jury. There was
another case of a most 'melancholy character, ii which Sr.
unhappy woman was charßed with attempting to destroy
her three children and also herself; and, with regard to this
tam, it we his duty to toll them that, although the dices-
stances of the ease might very reasonably produce the
im-
premien that at the time such an act was committed
the party committing it was not in such a state of minds a
to render her criminally responsible, yet the grand jury hail
no power to act upon such an impression, and it would be
their duty, if the evidence made out the charge to their satis-
faction, to triettnit the awe to the petty jury, who alone, by
a special enactment of the legislature, had the power to die-
ts:4e of the question of the sanity or insanity of the person
amused, either upon the seraignmest of the prisoner or upon
the evidence that was produced in: the coarse of the ease.
His lordship, then reigned to one or two other cane la the
Wender, after which the grand jury retired.
