ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCUIT.—Croydon, August 8.
The commission for the county of Surrey was
opened on Thursday, and this morning business was
proceeded with in both courts at ten o'clock, Lord
Chief Justice Jervis presiding on the Civil Side, and
Mr. Baron Alderson in the Crown Court. There are
eighty-one causes for trial, nine of which are special
jury cases. A great many of the others are undG-
fended, and the list, it is believed, will turn out very
rotten. T'ne gaol calendar only comprises Pine
cases, and all the charges are of the most ordinary
description.
Before Mr. Baron AL-
CROWN COURT.—(
DERSON )
_ _ _

Baron ALDERSON delivered-a
very brief charge to
the grand jury, merely congratulating them upon the
lightness of the calendar and the absence of any
charge of magnitude.
