You bave jurisdiction over a!! offences comanitted within the city ard county of Now York; cases of felony can originate with you, bat they ‘had bewer first be heard before @ magistrate for thon an opportunity ts ailurded the accused of answering the chargo, and of offering testimony in explanation of the circumstances exiabiiah guilt; aod in case tbe charge should be malicious and upfounded, he Sas some responsivio person tbat be may look to for redress; but when the Complaint originates with you, this protection ts denied tne arcused, for you are not responsible for avy of your public acts, no matter how seriously a party may bo ailecied by them. And in some of the Statee the Judges have refured to permit the Grand Jury to originate com- plaints, and bave held that the duty of the Grand Jury to bear only such cases as may be ent to them by tl Attorney General afier » previous examination before a magittrate; and this doctrine was beld by Jadge King, of Penpayivavia, ip a late cave whore whe Grand Jary came into court and stated that some of them hada knowlesge tbat the officers of a public trust company had appropristed the funds of the iustitution to their own my use, and ssking that witnesses might be sent for, r the purpores of examination and indictment Judg3 King, in a very able address, refused the application, and in speaking of this limitation of authority, says, “ Toat be regerds it as alike fortunate for ihe citizen and the Grand Jury; for it protects the citizen from the perseca- tion acd appoyauce which private malice or personal ‘apimosity, tntroduced in the Grand Jury room, might subjcot htm to; and it conserves the =, of the Grand Jory, and the veneration with which ought always to be regarded by the people, by them an umpire between accuser and the accused, iastead of (ueir assuming the oflice of the accuser.” Tho Grand Jury obly hears evidence in support of the cbarge, and not in exculpation of the accused; and it was formerly su; ‘that they could never examine ‘any other witnesses but those produced by the prosecu- tion, and whose names wore endorsed on the papers, out of late years the rale bas beea greatly relaxod, and as you are sworn to present the truth, if you are uaable to ‘fn to the guilt of the accused; and in all oases you are to bo ralisflea beyond a reasorable doudt before you fad ‘an indictment agatpet any one; for past experieace shows that indicuments bave heen found against parties that y kee} ted in our prison for months, an gastain wu their characters tbat bas affected them seriously io ir busi- ‘ees apd other relations.

The master consigned the ship to Graham, Brothers & Co.
