SURREY SESSION&

Yesterday morning the business of these Sessions
commenced at the Court House, Horsemonger-lane,
before D. TROTTrit Esq. the Chairman, and a nu-
merous Bench of Magistrates.i
On the Grand Jirry.being sworn,
The worthy Ora t RITA)/ addressed them as follows;
66 Gentlemen, I sincerely lament the heavy calendar
that will be laid befbre you, and ,which will necessa-
rily occupy more of your tirde than could be wished
for. In the few observations-which I shall consider
it my duty to make to you, it wit be' of great im-
portance to call yoUr attention to the dissemination
of blasphemous and Seditious publications. I haveto
acquaint you of the determination of the Magistrates.
of this County fo use every effort to bring persons
offending, by selling such books,' to condign punish-
ment, and they do not doubt of having your hearty
co-operation. If ever there was a time when the
loyal and well-disposed should be active in suppott-,
in g the Laws and Constitution, this is that time. 1'
will put it to your good sense, and to every person
capable of reasoning, which is the most dangerous
person in society, he who steals a few shillings from
his neighbour, or he who, by distributing those sedi-,
tious and blasphemous works, not only destroys that
consolation afforded you by Religion here, but also
your prospect of happiness hereafter ? As there are
seditious Meetings about to take place in various parts
of the Metropolis, I cannot do better than direct your
attention to the opinion of an eminent individual, Mr.
Wigley. That Learned Gentleman, in his charge to
the Grand Jury of the County of Worcester, has ably
discussed the subject of Public Meetings, and has
gone far in endeavouring to skew their illegality ."
The Learned Chairman concluded, by repeating his
most earnest desire that the Gentlemen of the. Grand
Jury would give the cases that were submitted to
them an impartial, serious, and full investigation.
The Petit Jury was then sworn in, and the Court
proceeded to the trial of traverses, but no case of the
slightest interest occurred.
Mr. Cahuac, of Blackman-street, charged with sell-
ing seditious pamphlets, has traversed till next Session.

At the General Quarter Sessions, held at Leeds, on
Thursday last, the Grand Jury returned a true Bill
against Mr. James Mann, bookseller, for publishing
a libel of and concerning the Prince Regent, con-
tained in a publication, called The Black Danzil.—'
On Friday morning, Mr. Mann appeared in Court,
and was admitted to bail, himself in £6O, and two
sureties in £SO each. It was intimated'to Mr. Mann
that this Indictment would not.be proceeded upon,
on account of the West Riding Sessions having no
jurisdiction in offences committed in the Borough,
but that another Indictment would be preferred
against him at the Borough Sessions. The Indictment
was sent down from the Secretary of State's Office,
and the only witness examined, by the Grand Jury,
was a person of the name of Beverley, a sort of as-
sistant to the Police of Leeds.
At the Warwickshire Sessions, true Bills have also
been returned against Joseph Riasei and James Os-
borne, booksellers, Birmingham; against the former,
for publishing Sherwin's Political ite,gister ; and the
latter, The Republican. Russel is the I ame person who
was convicted, at the last. Assizes, for publishing
Hone's Parody.
At the HuliQyarter Session; a true Bill was found
against Frederick Coleman, a joiner, for distributing
among thu military, in the garrison at that towu, a
seditious libel on the Government, in Shenvin's Let- i
ter to the Soldiers, and published in his Weekly Po-1
Vital Register. At the time Coleman was arrested,
hit and two others of his companions were busily em-
ployed in painting the 6gure of Liberty, with colours
sullen from his master's paint-shop !—coleman is in
custody, ir4 the House of Cot rection.
