The readers Of this paper have long

TIE SUPREME COURT Of this State, COM
menced its Spring term in this town, yesterday
As there was no criminal business before the
Court, Ills Honor Chief Justice EpDY, observed
to the Grand Jury in his charge, that he should
confine the residue of what he had to address to
them, to single point viz: the subject of jurors
excusng themselves from sitting in capital trials,
on the ground of their being conscientiously
puous against rendering verdict by which any
person would he subject to the punishment Of
death. The object Of Judge Eddy in discussing
this point, was to correct what he deemed to be an
error of opinion upon subject of deep interest to
the public.--Whilst he respected the motives by
which the persons making these objections profess
to be governed and declaring his entire willing
ness to protect them in the exercise of their con-
scientous notions, he at the same time, in very
able and unanswerable manner, exposed their I'M
soundncss. We will not undertake to give even a
synopsis Of the charge for fear of doing it injus-
tice. We sincerely hope that Judge Eddy may
be induced from motives of public good, to allow
the charge to be published.

to produce the same desirable result.
