Monday the 27th instant. Two of the Judges (we
believe Chief Justices Abbott and Dallas) will be
present, when the Special Commission will be
opened, and the Charge delivered to the Grand
Jury; after which the Judges will adjourn the
Commission to Monday, the 10th April. The
Grand Jury will proceed immediately with the exa-
mination of the numerous witnesses, and as soon as
the Bills arc found, notices of trial will be served on
the different prisoners, with printed lists of the
witnesses to be produced against them. according to
the provisions of the Act of Parliament.—The Spe-
cial Commission will be re-opened, pro forma, at
the Old Bailey, on Monday, the 10th of April, but,
as the common Sessions of Gaol Delivery commence
on the 12th, it is supposed that the Commission will
again be adjourned over the Sessions, so that the
State Trials, in all probability, will not take place
before the 20th of April.
