CROWN COURT. (13t-fore Lurd Chief Justice
CAMPBELL.)

The commission for the county of Bucks was opened
yesterday afternoon by Mr. Justice Crompton, who was
met by the High Sheriff, Mr. Scott Murray, of Danes-
field, at the station, and thence escorted to the town-
hall, which is now connected with the judges' lodgings,
built on the site of the old gaol.
It may be remembered that a few years ago Mr.
Murray relinquished the faith of his anc• stars, and was
received into the Church of Rome at a time when he re-
presented the county. As a consequence of this change
the lion. Gentleman retired from Parliament at the ensu-
ing election. The High Sheriff always appoints a chap-
lain, whose privilege and duty it is to accompany
the sheriff and judges of assize on all occasion,
and to preach the assize sermon. It appears that
Itlr. Murray appointed a Reiman Catholic chap-
lain, selecting Mr. Morris, who, like himself, had
seceded from the Church of England, and this Rev.
Gentleman would seem to have accompanied the sheriff
and Mr. Justice Crompton yesterday to the door of the
church of the hamlet of Walton, whence, having there
deposited the Learned Judge, the High Sheriff and his
chaplain proceeded to the Roman Catholic chapel, anti
afterwards took up his Lordship. When both the courts
were opened to-day at 10 o'clock for the dispatch of busi-
ness, the High Sheriff was again attended by Mr. Morris
as his chaplain.
The grand jury having been duly sworn,
Lord CAMPBELL proceeded to deliver his charge to
them, and, as his Lordship adverted to the presence of
the chaplain, we think it right to subjoin the chief por-
tions of that charge, which was to the following effect:—
‘ Gentlemen gives me great
sot respectable an
satisfaction
tofinfdthseo GnirlamnedroJuusray,-...1
n d
attendance of the gentlemen of this county on the
present occasion, and I may mention that that
number would have been increased by the addition
of Mr. Disraeli, but that that gentleman has been
prevented from attending by those other public
duties which now devolve on him." His Lordship
then referred to the state of the calendar, and having
done so, thus proceeded :—" Gentlemen, I should have
dismissed you at once were it not for a circumstance
which has caused some surprise, and not a little un-
easiness. You have, gentlemen, for your High Sheriff a
gentleman most benevolent, most accessible, and alto-
gether an honour to your county. He is of the Roman
Catholic persuasion, and I rejoice to think that that is
no objection to his performing the duties of his high
office. A message was sent to me from him respecting
the attendance of the judges at Church, and I communi-
cated to him that I by no means expected he should do
anything in the slightest degree contrary to his con-
science or hurtful to his feelings. I rejoice that in this
country religions opinions are no barriers in the way of
performing civil duties, and there is nothing to be per-
formed by a High Sheriff that may not be well enough
executed although that individual should be of a form
of religion different from that of the Established Church.
But, gentlemen, something has occurred which I think
requires explanation. The High Sheriff, without meaning
in the slightest degree to be guilty of an impropriety,
and, indeed, being informed it had been done in other
counties, has appointed a chaplain of his own religion,
and that chaplain has appeared in the garb of his order in
accompany tag the High Sheriff and her Majesty's judges
coming from the place where the sheriff meets them to
the place where we now are. Gentlemen, that I do not ap-
prove of; and I think it my duty to say that I hope such
au occurrence will not be repeated. Gentlemen, I hope that
no one will suppose I am actuated by any illiberal motive;
I have always most strenuously supported the Roman
Catholics in their claims tor freedom of opinion, in or-
der that they should be admitted to all the privileg©s of
all others of her Majesty's subjects; and I may say, gen-
tlemen, that having lately been sejourning in Italy, I
had the honour of an audience with the head of that re-
ligion, and from that interview I had every reason to be-
lieve he is a most excellent and most praiseworthy per
son; and DO one must suppose, from the course I take, I
am actuated by any improper motive. But, gentlemen,
the sheriff appoints a chaplain who is to appear as the
chaplain of the judges, and who is expected to take his
seat in the same carriage as the judges, and to sit be-
side the judges in the court. That chaplain, therefore,
becomes the chaplain of the judges, and the Protestant
religion is the religion of the judges of this country;
and it is not any disrespect or bad feeling toward the
Roman Catholic faith which induces me to make
these remarks, for I must say that I respect
the feelings of the Catholics, and that sacred
order which they have created; and I hope I shall
meet with your approbation in these remarks. I do not
wish in the slightest degree to wound the feelings of my
friend whom I see here this day (turning to the sheriff),
and when I ask that it shall not be repeated, I am sure
it will be felt that it is as much for the benefit of the
Roman Catholic subjects as for those who belong to the
Established Church; for we should not encourage.

then bowed and withdrew from the
gallery allotted to h •
t Woe
The calendar conta •
ins the names of 28 prisoners,
whose allegedoffences include child mur-
der, two cases of
three of arson, two of rape. two of burglary, one
of sheenstealing. one of assault, and three of larceny.
Elizabeth Keeley, aged 20, was charged with tho
murder of her illegitimate male child, at Ilambledon, on
the 12th of November last.
Mr. Power conducted the prosecution, and Mr. G. L.
Browne the defence.
The prisoner was in the service d
of a farmer named
Hewitt for about eighteen months, and was esteemed by
her mistress to be a mild and kindhearted creature. In
November her mistress taxed her with being enceinte, but
she denied the charge, allegieg that her enceinte,
hie• but o
pro-
ceeded from a pain in the side;
n the 12th
Mrs. Hewitt discovered traces of blood on the floor of
the bed-room occupied by the prisoner, which the latter
attributed at first to natural causes, but ultimately ad-
mitted to arise from the premature
birth of a child,
which she afterwards deposited in the privy. In •this
place was found the body
of a full-grown and healthy
male child, presenting symptoms and marks about it
which, in the opinion of the medical witness, led to the
conclusion that the chi!d had been horn alive, and had
been strangled by th
--0 right hand. When tais was com-
municated to the prisoner, she said, " It was not the
right hand; I did it with the left hand."
Lord CAMPBELL left it to the jury to say whether they
thought the prisoner had intentionally strangled her
issue, or might have inflicted the wounds spoken to in
the agony cif childbirth, and without any design to take
away life. If the jury thought she was not guilty of
murder, they might well convict her of concealing the
birth, of which there was abundant evidence.
The jury, without any hesitation, Acquitted the pri-

?oripr of the charge of inurd,r, but convicted her of th,
misdemeanour.
Sentence—Six m-inths' imprisonment
