SURREY ADJOURNED QUARTER SES-

SIONS.
THIS DAY.

BOWLS TOMO PURLS, FAO, AMU • BENCH Of MAGISTIATEA.
These sessions being the last of the present quarter for the
county of Surrey, commenced this morning at the sessions-
house, Newington causeway. The Weeder contained the
names of 102 prisoners for trial, being • greater number than
for • long time sent before the magistrates at these mullions.
The grand jury having been swop, the chairman
said that their duties would be rather heavier than
for some time past, inasmuch as • vast number
of prisoners were sent for trial at the sessions,
rather than the ensuing assizes for tbe county. Such a pro-
ceeding would be a saving of a thousand pounds to the
county, and ha was sure they must feel happy that such an
expenditure bad been saved. The crimes of the calendar
were of the usual kind tried at these sessions, and he had
only to remind them to be careful in finding the bills pre-
sented to them, and should they not be satisfied with the
statement of the witnesses at the back of the bills, he should
recommend them to apply to the court for the depositions
taken before the magistrates. He had no further remarks to
make, but would at epos dismiss them to their duties.
