HURON ASSIZES.
This Court was opened in Godeirich
on Monday afternoon of last week,' be-
fore Mr. Justice Burton, H. P. O'Con-
nor, Esq., of Walkerton, conducting
the cases for the Crown. The follow-
ing is the pannel of the Grand Jury
worn in :
- GRAND JURORS.—George E. Cress-
avell, Tuckersmith, foreman ; Wm.
Brownlee, Usborne ; James Bissett,

His Lordship then addressed the
panel on the calender, which, he said,
though a long one, contained but two
very serious cases. One of these, for-
gery, he stated, was formerly punished
with death. The only peculiarity of
such cases was, thongh the person
,whose name bad keen forged was a com-
ipetent witness, he must be supported
,hy .corroborative evidence. Here the
Justice read the law bearing on this
point. The other offence particularly
noticed was a charge of shooting with
intent to kill. Though the offence
was not completed, the Grand Jury
,were to consider this as a question of
.fact. whether the shooting had been
,done .with intent to kill or do bodily'
ahem). Most of the others were sim-
ple larceny, with one of false preten-
ces. The latter crime was now made
a ,misdemeanor, and the justice explain-
ed that the false representation could
not be made with regard to anything
past or future, but must haye been such
.a presentation of some existing fact as
.induces a .person to part with his
:property. In exanining•such witnesses
.as were sent before thelia, it was ,not
.necessary to examine before than two
,or three, in order to determine the.char-
acter of a bill, and these witnesses
must be all on behalf of the crown.
The Grand Jury were then ;taken' in
charge by Constuble Youill, and the
court proceeded with the calendar.
