. 01 Monday fe'on'ght the Affixes, at the
• 1. lf.ndweie ripened by bir Fitness Matthaei
• u ?row, Kit. one of the Barons of his Maioly's
4,:,.,itt of Erchrqaer.
The Learned Judge, in his charge to the Grand
Jury, expreffsd I.l.l.llislaaign that the Calendar was
no' very numerous, nor the crimes, in general, of a
vet y ferious nature.
He was Corry three was any exceptions to the latter
remark t and particularly lamented that a crime of
So tout a nature as tbar ol Arfon,(malicioutly burning)
Should have been committed in the utility ; a crime
which could have nu temptatii-n to its commillien,
hot what arofe from the blackell ot htiman paOlons,
Revery. The milchief ed this crime wet .ef lo
dreadful and exterifive a nature. that the law had vi-
(iced it with its midi fevere penalty. His Lordibip
exprefred his icgret, that a cullom, Hinson peculiar
to the county ot Yin k, that of not fending the whole
, f the depofitions until they were too late to be of
fervice, prevented him from offering any obferva
thins on the other charges in the Calendar this Lord-
fhip admitted, that he had received depofitions from
fome Magifhates, though they were wilily for the
(mailer offences. There was, however, a fubjed,
which, though not immediately connected with their
prefent duties, he felt Modell impelled gratefully to
notice. His Lotdillip (after adverting to the recent
application to Parliament to enable this county to
make more fuitable accommodations for the Judges),
(aid, that though he fhmld be the veinal man liv-
ing to fuppofe that himfilf, or any other individual
Judge was the objet of this rneafure, yet, viewing
it as a ttibute of refped to the adosinillration of
jollice, and as defigned to honour thiife eotrußed
with its administration, he felt (and on this be
alto expitffed the fentiments of the other fudges)
the full value of the obligation, and which was
the more grateful, as proceeding from a county,
which, in extent, and in the number, variety,
and importance of the cafes determined, was
unequalled by any circuit in • the kingdom, and
wirers, confequently, the flay of the Judges was
frequently very conadarable. His Lordflop, after
remarking, that the excellence of the jurifprudence
of this country must be felt by every confiderate, and
acknocaledged by every candid man, concluded with
Miming. that it was only by the en-operarfon of the
of the county, with the Judges of Adige.Cntereilli advantages. which were intimately con
seeded with every thing valuable in civil fociety, could
-be completely fecund.
The following are the principal cafes which came
