LANCASTER, SATURDAY.

. .
OPENING THE COMMISSION OF Assize.
The Assizes for the northern part of this county com-
menced to-day, when the High Sheriff and Judges entered
the town, accompanied by the usual procession of javelin
men, &c. The Mayor and Council went in the afternoon as
usual to the Judges' lodgings to compliment their lordships'
on the lightness of their labours, which reflects the highest "
honour on this part of the county, being unusually light, and.
the offences of the most trivial description, being such as are
usually presented at a Petty Session. The Cause List up to.
the present time is a very short one, and does not premise •
much occupation for the gentlemen of the long rube, nor do
we hear of aOly cause of the least public interest being set
down for trial. It is supposed the business of the Assizes
will he concluded on Tuesday. This is the first time Mr.
Baron Williams has come this circuit. since his elevation to
the bench. Their lordships proceeded to open the Commis-
sion immediately on their arrival. To morrow morning the
Judges will attend the parish church irtstate, on which oeca- •
sion a sermon will be preached by the Rev. Jonathan Brooks,
Rector, of Liverpool, the Sheriff's Chaplain.
