Ne Foreman, and Gentleman of the Grand
Jury:
You have been carefully selected by this
court to act as the grand inquest for Hartford
county during the present term. We feel as
sured gentlemen, that you will perform your
duties with that earnestness and devotion
which is called for by the solemn oath you
have just heard administered. Nothing We
can say, am sure, will be more instructive to
you than the clear and comprehensive terms
of that oath. No doubt many OF you, and
perhaps all of you, are familiar with it, but
we want YOU to carefully look at it and to
consider it, and If you perform your duties
with the provisions of that oath, we feel salts
fed that you will do your duty, and will do
so with satisfaction to yourself, to the court
and to the public. You will, perhaps, need
some information or some instruction during
the course of your work, and if you do, you
may feel at liberty, at any time, to 60 to the
court or to the States Attorney.
Perhaps it is q subject Of congratulation
that we have had good peace and good order
throughout the county, and your term will be
a very short one. We know Of nothing that
requires your particular attention. but no
doubt there will be various matters which
will engage you for some days.
You may now retire to your room and begin
your deliberations.
