BRISTOL, APRIL 9.

The Assize business of the City commenced this day in
the Guildhall, before Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, the
Recorder of the City.
When the Grand Jury were sworn, the RECORDER
addressed them. He regretted that the calendar was
heavier than usual, which could not be attributed to the
want of precaution on the part of the Magistrates and the
Police of the City : the increase must arise from other
causes. lie alluded to two charges of uttering forged
notes of a large amount in the calendar, and expressed his
regret that the withdrawing of the 1/. notes from circu-
lation had not been the means of totally putting a stop to
this description of crime : he thought that proper precau-
tion was not used iu many instances by persons to whom
those kind of notes were tendered. The increase of crime
in this country was greater than► in any other in propor-
tion to the population ; but in those countries where crime
was not se great, personal liberty was not so extensive.
The Magistrates of Bristol had from humanity relaxed the
operation of the laws, and he (the Learned Recorder) re-
gretted that this lenity was not accompanied by a diminu-
tion of crime.

At the conclusion of the Recorder's address, the Jury
retired, and, after a few minutes' absence, returned a tine
bill against
Henry Heady and John Smith, who were placed at
the bar for having stolen from the dwelling-house of Win.
