YORK QUARTER SESSIONS.

Tuesday se'nnight, the New Sec inns House, for
the East-Biding of the county of York, built at a
little distance north from Beverley, was opened,
and the General Quarter Sessions of the Pease held
therein, tor the first time, when the Rev. Fa•ticts
Wine, the Chairman, addressed the Court in an
appropriate speech, the substance of which, as re.
ported to us, was nearly as follows :
" Brother Magistrates, Gentlemen of the Law,
and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—l cannot suffer
the present opportunity to pass by, without congra-
tulating you all on our first meeting together in this
place, to put in execution the mild, the equitable.
the just laws of our most excellent Constitutiont
Let me also congratulate you, on the greatest pars
of the expenses necessarily incurred in erefting this
Court and Prison, being now Mr advanced toward,
a state of liquidation. It must be acknowledged,
that the expenses have been heavy, but they could
scarcely be avoided ; for the rising prosperity of the
Riding. as well as the increasing population of one
part of it (I mean the parish of Seulcoates), loudly
called for an enlargement of the prison, as well as a
Court of Justice in same degree adequate to the
dignity of the laws which are to be executed therein.
The Court in which we are now assembled, appears
to be possessed of this qualification. Here, Gen.
tlemen, we trust, that even-handed Justice will, tor
ages yet to come, take up her residence; that here
she will bestow her most ample rewards on the de-
serving, and distribute her heaviest punishments
among the vicious and incorrigible offenders. Here
the iijured, however low or obscure his station in
life, will find as free and easy access to her, as the
m-st exalted personage in His Majesty's dominions-
When you view the prison, it is presumed that, on
such insp./ lion, you will find it replete with every
convenience suitable to its unfortunate occupiers.
" Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—l have looked
into the Calendar of Prisoners, and am happy to
inform you, that there is only one commitment un-
der felonious offences ; therefore, that part of you
duty will be easy. With resped to other matters,
such as indictments fu assaults and batteries,
nuisances, and other misdemeanours, and for aot re-
pairing highways, I cannot speak with such certainty;
but, should you, in the course of your examinations
or inquiries, meet with say thing that you are not
clear in, let me recommend you constantly to apply
to the Court for advice, which it will, at all times,
be ready and glad to communicate to you. You
• ill al o have the goodness to recolleit, that is every
bill of indiCtment which may be broeght before you,
as a Grand Jury, you cannot possibly know or be
acquainted with (neither indeed ought you) any
other matter than what comes from the consphain-
ant ; when, therefore, you are is your consciences
satisfied that the complaint is a just one, you most
find the bill to be a true bill. The crime of what-
ever nature it may be, is then tried by a Jury of our
conntry, evidence is then heard on both sides, and
a verclia given according to that evidence. Gen-
tlemen, as it was observed that the crimes under
felonious offences were but few, let us all unite our
best endeavours to keep them, and every other mis-
demeanour, within their doe bounds. Be advised,
therefore, to instil into the tender minds of your
children, and of your dependents, the grand prin-
ciple of doing to others as they would be done unto.
This golden ruin once established, there would be
no complaining in our streets; for the property of
one man would be as secure in the custody of Isis '
neigbour even as in his own. Tell them to learn
and to labour to get their own living, and to do
their duty in that state of life which Providence
may assign them; and, above all. teach them to
tear God, and to honour the King."
