Judge Dillon's Charge to the Grand Jury

! uUS0 Ou1OA NAstA 30 W 1AAo OAoA~ S~A
Among the instructions given to the Jury
by the Judge, he says shat the Constitution
OF the State provides that no person shall be
holden to answer for any of the graver
criminal offenses unless such person is first
duly indicted by legal grand jnry.' Now,
Mr.. Editor, if that be the law, it might be
well enough to let the public know that the
fellow who commits murder or horse-stealing
cannot be arrested and holden in custody
until legal grand jury has indicted him,
while those committing smaller ofenses are
punishable by Justices of the Peace. What
say the limbs of the law and coz popula
about examining into this matter?
