BOROUGH QUARTER SESSIONS.-

YESTERDAY

The general Quarter Sessions for the Borough opened
:the Crown Court, yesterday, at ten o'clock, before his

Worship the Recorder, Gilbert Henderson, Esq., The
following gentlemen were sworn in as a grand jury

man ; Wm. Bowman, merchant, Fenwick street ; Wm.
Currie, wine merchant, Ansdell street; Thos. Clint,
merchant, Sweeting street ; Thos. P. Dawson, broker,

John street ; James Rickarby, merchant, ditto.
The RECORDER said : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—
Your duties upon this occasion will not be light. The
calendar comprises the names of 10G persons, respecting
whom you will have to hear and weigh the evidence, and
then decide in what instances it is sufficient to put the
parties accused on their trial. The felonies are, in
general, of a light character. There is an absence of
street robberies accompanied by violence, and of depre-
dations by breaking into warehouses. There are some
cases of housebreaking, but they are not of an aggravated
nature, and the plunder taken has not been large. Still,
even in these cases, the poorer classes, who are the
sufferers, arc entitled to every protection and security
which the due vindication of the laws can afford. In a
commercial point of view, the most important charges
are two, in which it is alleged that some casks of palm
oil were stolen from the dock quays, and then sent to be
disposed of to Douglas in the Isle of Man. It is satis-
factory to find the police in distant parts of the country
co-operating for the protection of the public; and in one
case to come before you, it will probably appear that the
police of Salford, by their vigilance and activity, seconded
by the police of this town, hay) detected a system of
frauds carried out against the gas-light company here.
There are, as usual, several instances in which sailors
and emigrants, acting incautiously, have been plundered
of considerable amounts of money. It would be indeed
well if these persons would learn and recollect the
undoubted fact, that many of the women who accost
them in the streets of this town are adroit pickpockets,
and that the houses to which they lead them are fre-
quently dens of thieves. It may, perhaps, occur to you
in the course of your enquiries, that some of the cases
before you are of too trivial a nature to be sent here ;
but I must warn you against too hastily adopting that
conclusion by stating, that many of those accused of the
most trifling offences on this occasion, are persons who
have been convicted tan, twenty, and even thirty times
summarily before they were sent for trial here. The list
of misdemeanours is again swelled by a number of those
disgraceful and shocking cases, in which men and women
have been stabbed, or wounded and cut with knives.
That so many are sent here clearly shows, that the
magistrates will not deal lightly with these cases ; and
it will remain for this court, after due investigation, to
punish, with very great severity, such offenders. Many of
these cases which are to come before you have their
origin in brothels, many also in public•houses, in the
number of which this town still holds a bad preeminence,
although the magistrates of late years have steadily and,
I think, most commendably set their faces against any
augmentation of the number. Gentlemen of the jury,
and you, Mr. Foreman, especially—l have now to call
your attention to a new duty, which the legislature have
imposed upon you, and which you, on this occasion,
will be the first to perform in this county. Hitherto it
has been the practice to swear ,he witnesses, who are to
give evidence, before the grand jury in this court, and at
a time when the grand jury were not present. But it
has been considered that it would expedite and improve
the administration of justice if persons attending to give
evidence before grand juries were sworn in the presence
of the grand jurors, who are to act upon their testimony,
and, accordingly, an act received the Royal assent on
Monday last, under which it is lawful for the foreman—
and, indeed, he is authorised and required—to administer
an oath to all persons who shall appear before the grand
jury to give evidence to support any bill of indictment ;
and the names of every witness so examined shall be
endorsed on the back of the indictment, and the foreman
of the grand jury shall write his initials against the
name of each witness so sworn and examined. The duty
cast upon the foreman may ba performed by any gentle-
man on the grand jury, who, in his absence, may act on
his behalf. Gentlemen, I shall now band the act to the
foreman, and if he should feel any difficulty or doubt I
shall be happy to give him my beat assistance to solve it.
The grand jury then retired.

EXTENSIVE SEIZURES OF PAPER.—X2,BSO PENALTIES.
—On Saturday, at the Guildhall, Doncaster, Henry
Symington, of the firm of Symington and Pegg, paper
manufacturers, Tickhill, was arraigned on a charge of
defrauding the revenue. The prisoner, who pleaded
guilty, rendered himself liable to penalties to the amount
of £11,400. In consideration of the prisoner having
pleaded guilty, the magistrates mitigated the penalty to
one-fourth the amount—viz., £2,850. The prisoner's
premises, &c., have been since seized.
