LAW IN 'I ELLIGENCE.

COMIT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. n.

This morning, before the Sitting of the Court,
411.: Stlsticf. BA U 'impose YLY attended for the pose of
11
jltearing molions of course. Betore he enteral on
"at ,11isiness, the Grand lininest for the County
uf 'Middlesex bring in at; enda.ce, their names were
egged over, and being sworn, Mr Justice BAYLEY
addressed them nearly as :

" Gentlemen of the Grand Inquest,—You are assembled
ti... 13 discharge the duties of Grand Jurors for the County of
413(bliesex. Part of that duty ic,
,carefully to inquire into all
"th offences as may be brought before you, committed
"tithi the County; I say within the County, because, by
terlalu Acts of tiament, (:rand Jurors are authorized to
Inquire, its particular cases, into matters-, that may occur
.I°ititegur the baits of 11;eir °mut (nutty ; but such cases are

13" of frequent occurrence, and l am not aware that any
"01 are likely to be ltihniitted to your consideration, which
l'lve taken place in Slily whet County ; but should any thing.
of the kind be brought before you, you will no doubt he de-
sirous of examining the .lets of Parliament, and the Otficer
of the Comt will attend for that purpose.
Another pat of your duty, as 'Grand Jurors,is to inspect
the several Prisons within the County. A complaint having
been made by a former Grand July, of the refusal of the
leeper of the Penitentiary at Milibank to admit them to an
11''Pection Of that. Prison, unless they procured an Order fur
44t Purpose from Lord Sititnoutb, or were accompanied by
s'Hne of the Alenthels of the Committee, it is proper to ob-
lerr to you, that although the. Grand Jury acted with much
Propriety ,in preferring their complaint, yet the cootluct of
the ICteper.cannot be considered as deserving the censure of
the Court ; the Penitentiary was built under the sanction of
En Act of Parliament, and its internal regulations were also
by a Special Act of the same Legislature, by which it is
14ved under the sole controul of the Secretary of State and
11k, Committee of Management, appointed ny Parliament,
anti is nut therefore aecessable to the Grand Jury, except
tinder such restrictions as ate laid down by the Act fur the
fla.ission of Strangers.

" Gentlemen, I ;till here terminate, knowing that your
"Petience will enable you to dispose of all matters pro-
Pttiy."
Alter some motions for new trials had been
%lihinitted, the Foicinan of the Grand July at-
tended in Court, and said that a bill had been
Presented, headed " England to wit," charging
ertain persons with perjury. He wished to be
'uformed it their jurisdiction extended to Man-
Ch
"ter. Mr. Justice BAY LEY replied, that it might
in some other cases, but did not in perjury. This
dill was preferred by Hunt, Briant, and some
()tilers, who were in Court the whole of the
morning.
