eee
es contained in the calendar were snme of them of
tajeery serious character • but he did not apprehend that
eig_e *could. be any difficulty with respect to the de-
thelua the grand jury would have to come to upon
teri. • There were several_ charges of forgery, and ut-
ug•foreed instruments, and one of these had created
,
pe- great. deal of public interest, and in which several
eirts°l. is were implicated. These persons wt-re charged

time-e'e•nda which had remained fur a considerable
eghs aaelaiteed. It appeared that by obtaining the
dies of the persons to whose credit certain unclaimed
ejalucl_eLttds had been placed, the names of the relatives

persueSe_ several persons must be engaged, ond these

etheir consideration the whole evidence wlech
weilehrbi laid before them, and they would have to say
whet,her there was sufficient evidence to implicate the
Th.c" a the parties indicted. or only part of them.
foe evidence would be laid before them, and it would be
tofunitutonsider whether that evidence was sufficient
eth4tifY, them in returning a true bill on the ground
they;
knowing that the wills in question
were
vic„..9%ed. No doubt there would be such
to eii,"7- laid before them as would lead to the
ial:1-1;.,"t,u'it- that other parties besides those
be:l;:rY.,bad been engaged in the frauds which had
tine v‘,.tumitted. (The Learned Judge then read section
tee, r 7th George IV., c. 64, which bore upon the
wool-``' 'which he was then referring.) The evidence
they 'Presented to the grand jury, and ,the question
thgvould. have to decide would be merely whether
the o"ideace was sufficient to justify them in sending
Tberee ta, be fully inquired into before the petit jury.
atte4,•,atanother case to which he would turn their
titut '9414 particular-it was a charge which had been

adverted to a charge of rape which had occurred

eha the,-calendar contained the names of two persons
