U. Vi luLUMS, C. C. , . ~,,1, , —— BRYAaN COURT. Hit honor Judge Charlton's Charge to the Grand Jury of Bryan County. Gentlemen of the G. and Jury, THE oath which has just been admin istered to you, is an emphatic and an impreiiive I one—it designates the general duties which the ] law imposes upon your body, and if you will I permit it to govern your condud, no e..ential . error will mark your deliberations. \ou ate to I determine upon an exparte investigation, wheth ! er there are fufEeient grounds for accul3tion a j gainft the persons charged with crimes or mis demeanors in the bills ot indidments delivered to you by the Attorney for the State. Prosecu tions for offences should always have for their ! balis the public good. Thegratificatior.of indi vi -1 dual acrimony ought never to mingle itfelf with ( ! that fpiritof patriotism, which brings the offender to his trial, because he has outraged the order of society, or violated the laws of his country.- So soon, therefore, as you may difeover that malice, or any other bad pallion of the heart, attempts \ to inflid its vengeance through the medium of a court of juilice, it immediately becomes your sacred duty to step between the prosecutor & his viftim, and to save as well the one from the im morality and danger of a prejudiced oath, as the ether, from the ignominy ot a public trial. li no case should the nigh rank, rcffpedability of charader or personal influence of the wilnefs, ( dually denominated the prosecutor) induce a . pre-fnppoficion, that hs is f ‘perior to the common frailties of human nature, or that his breast may not be tiudured with the spirit of revenge. The hillory of mankind evin ces, and uly .occurrences evince, that all classes, the high and the low, the rich and the poor, the man of an exalted, as well as the man of i mean inteUed, 1 are all equally fu'ojed to the dominion of pp.lfionc, feelings and refentraents, which ate but too frequently permitted ui con taminate the pure sources of public juilice. It is therefore your duty, Gentlemen, to ferutimze the motives for every prosecution which may - present itfelf before your cohftderation, and I without ‘regard to the adventitious reputation of} the offender, or the flute witnesses, to form your deciflon upon the ah ft rad principles of dimin ilhing offences, and of protecting the virtuous 1 and orderly from the outrages of the licentious. If these principles should control your judge ments, no other case will be brought before the i Court than thafe which will deserve its atten tion, and the attention of the County. No of. -j fender will then escape who ought to be punilh ‘cd>' cd> . . | In diicharging the duties of Atterney tjenerai, I have frequently difeovered i greater snare cf zeal and personal malevolence, than were compatible with an unbiaffed and faithful teflimony ; ar.d when this uncommon zeal aid malevolence have been displayed, I have feldoru obtained a conviction, because the difeerr.meut of the Jury had previously afeeriained the pri vate views cf the witnelfes. I have obtruded these remarks upon your attention in order that the neceflity of diferimi | Bating between those cases which are entitled to j your ferieti3 reflection and those which are not, j may be duly imp re fled upon your minds, and I that offences may meet with their pur.ifhments jin the ratio only that they may militate with i the public order and happiness, not as they may interfere with the view s or resentments of indi viduals. At the fame time thr.t I fugged these cau tions, I flatter myfelf with the hope, that no person will be differed toefcape who has in any manner infringed the laws of his country. Let him be brought forward for animadversion cr punilhment. Guard your breads againd any compalflon, which hi3 situation in life, or the apparent unimportance of his offence rnsy be calculated to inspire. I feel convinced from my knowledge of the virtue and firmnels which dif tinguilh your body, that neither fear, envy, hat red or malice can poflibly influence any of your decisions ; and I trull your minds will be equal ly exempted from the operation.of those fympa thics, which are as amiable in private life, as they are prejudicial to a righteous admiuiitration cf the duties cf a Grand luqucil. As men you may comraiferate, but as Grand Jurors remain inexorable—Prated virtue and innocence—throw over them the krigis cf your integrity ; but bring to light the deeds of the vicious and abandoned, whoever they may fee, that the march cf crime may be impeded by equal and speedy punilhment. Ading upon Mr. Solicitor s bills is indeed an important branch of your furdtons ; but they extend much further, and embrace objeds of equal importance. Are there any violators of the public law, of the police, or good order of your county, who have not fallen under the cognizance of Mr. Solicitor * Such persons ought not to es cape your cenfare. Are there any immoralities or nuisances, which require animadversion or suppression ? Let them appear in your Prefentmeuts. Are your public officers, or any of them, negligent of their duty ? i hey will be llimu lated to an active and faithful ditcharge of it, by die severity of your rebuke. Is there any law, which operates oppre(lively upon the Citizens of your County ? It is your •inlinefs to requeli the Legislature of your Coun ty to repeal it. It is alio within the compass of your power, .o-recommend to the attention of the Legisla ture, any meafure9 you may deem worthy of national consideration. Through the medium of a Grand Jury the sentiments of the people can be more genera ly colleded than through any other channel, inc members of your body are supposed to be lelec - ted from among the moll virtuous and enlight ened of your Fellow-Citizens, and therefore t tie expieflion of their opinions is a good by which may beafeertained the views aiulwilh es of the fedions which they represent. On all matters, therefore, of national concern, it is of iaTiportancc to hear the voice of a Grand *>ury ; and for that reason, I charge you to dired your attention to matters beyond the confines of your Couuty, Among other objedn, I shall feel happy if a reform of Ithe Penal Cqde should meet your ap probation. The system we have borrowed from our ancestors is founded upon an indifference to the life of man, incompatible with religion, found policy or themanners of this age. It is also at variance with the nature of our Government, the genius of which, is to raise, not to lessen the value of human exiltence. The Penitentiary plan is found to involve all the ends ot punifo ment, and is gradually fuperceding in these United States, the fangainary and unequal punishments of the feudal seras. Perpetual imprifonmeut is more terrible to the offenders, and more efficacious as an exam ple to others, than the inflict.on of death itfelf. .■solitude and hard labor are better calculated to reform than the public ignominy of whipping or branding. Other States, not as rich as this, have adapt ed their Penal Code to the Penitentiary fyliem, and have experienced the beneficent . fleets of it—then why should not Georgia try the exper neut ? At all eve-.its,Gentlemen, let ‘.he Gen eral Alfemhly know your sentiments on this im portant fubjed—the zeal width you may evince nay infuie itfelf into the deliberations of other public bodies, and ultimately produce the refor mation so devoutly vvilhed for by every religious, benevolent and phiiofophic mind. 1 have thus attempted, Gentlemen, to give you a faint aualyiia of your fund ions as a Grand Inquell. As to myfeif, I shall (in the terms of my oath) without refped to persons, do equal jui- j tice to the rich and to the poor, and i will faith- j i fully observe the law sand Conilitution of tins State. To use the language of Marus, I fha.ll j 1 fat out in the difeharge ot my dittiesjwitli adivity,! ! moderation anilhnmility, and I. bcfeech God,j that 1 tray never link into the eppofite extremes of sloth, pride and venality. | i have had fome experience in my profeffion ; but if I should involuntarily commit errors, I th ail repose with confidence upon the learning of an enlightened bar to corred them. I shall - bow with fubmillion and feel grateful to any in dividual, who may at any time convince me, I have done wrong. Extract from the minutes, - hth Nak ISO 7. GEO : M. WATERS, c.s.c.a.c. Presentments of the Grand Jury fur the County of dityar.. WE, the Grand Jury for the County of Bryan, feel a lingular plenhi'e in ad dre fling the honorable Thomas U. P. Charlton, congratula ting him and our fellovr-citizens at large on his appointment as Judge of the Eaftcrn Diiirid, feeling every confidence in the integrity of his principles, and a decided preference to those congenial to our excellent government and its republican administration, which in no instance we would wiih to fee varied in any form, or ad miniilered in any ether way. Under these im preflions, we cannot otherwise, but anticipate the many and l'olid benefits which will result to our country and its citizens, not only from these ! principles, but from the administration of the ‘Judicial Department, by one whom we con* i ceive so eminently qualified to difeharge so im- I portant a trust. We coincide with his honor (the Judge, that the trial by Jury is one of those inellimable blessings which we enjoy under our happy government, that every honeit citizen feels himfelf beyond the reach of oppreflior, and j fafely (hielded from the hand of perfecuiion. 1 While reaping these rich benefits, it evidently becomes the duty of each and every one to be vigilent and attentive in preferring these Mitfti mable rights. While enjoying these great privileges we cannot but with concern view the powers as signed the Justices of the Inferior Courts too ! unlimited, and too great to be confident with our republican fylltm of government. We also view with confi Jerable concern, { from the remote situation of the upper diftrift from , the lower) that nearly one half of our citizens , are so much inconvenienced from coming so ‘great a dillance, that they seldom or ever have an opportunity of giving their votes at our annu al ele&ions; we could wish to fee a mode adop ted whereby this evil could be remided. j In the next place, we have to lament tke in fufiiciency cf County ‘Magiftrates in cur Coun ty, and particularly in our lower JJiilrid, where 1 there is but one. And lastly, v/e have to return our thanks to hia honor the Judge, for Ins excellent charge, and heartily coincide with his honor, that ilie Pe nitentiary Syttem, w.ll be a great acquiliticn t our State Code. We requell that his honor the Judge, will or dcr these our fe..t:meats, together with his charge, to he published in one of the city Gazetts. JAMES BIRD, Fore man.
