sions to the present Judiciary system are such as must strika the most superficial observer, and these, among others, are quoted as imperfections which loudly call for ligislative interposition. The present Judiciary destroys that permanent and universal rule of action, which the law is intended to art >rd, for the reason that there are several Judges in the .State, each supreme in his own Circuit, and each perhaps differing in his construction of the Lw, to which all must look for safety and protection. Evidence whi h would establish a demand in one Circuit would totally ful in another, and for cer tain crimes a particular punishment would b ; awarded in one county, while in anoth er the same crime would bring down upon the criminal totally different judgement. Again it is objected, and with much propriety, that from the decision of the Judge therm is no appeal; which is virtu ally true, for although suiters are permit ted to go from the verdet of one Jury to that of another, yet this priviledge is rendered a nullity in f.ot, while the same Judge who presided upon the first trial, presides before the special Jury, and re delivers to them the same legal senti merits which he had formerly charged, ami from which it was intended and de sired to appeal. These are truths which we are forced to acknowledge from the sad experience of every day‘s practice, and if equality and certainty in the con struction and administration of the Law* are at all desirable, then it follows that the People should instruct their represen tatives to take such steps as are necessa ry to procure the benefits which must result therefrom. How can this more properly be done than by expressing, on the back of his Ticket the wil! of the vo ter, at the approaching election, either bv endorsing thereon, ‘Court of Error * or ‘No Court of Errors.’ We respectfu !y recommend the foregoing subject to t o consideration of the Republican voters of Georgia. ‘DEMONSTRATION. * A good uatured. worthy Adams man, (such kmd of Jldams men by t e bve, am about as scarce us white black birds ) accosted us the other day:—-‘You are gone!

Gentlemen , Pursuant to the wishes of the Grand Jury of this county, we beg leave to hand you their presentment on the subject of establishing a Corn* for the Correction of Errors in this state. AVe think with the Grand Ju ry, that in h matter of such great i; - portance to the interest of the conimu nify, public opinion ought to be con sulted,* that it is due to the good p u pie of this state to refer the question at once to them, for the purp >se o! eliciting aw expression of their senti merits, at the next general election We therefore respectfully recommend to the Justices of the Inferior Com* •f each county, to give, public notira that the presiding Magistrates at tin general election in October next, will receive the votes of the people on the subject; that all voters favourable t< the establishment of such a tribunal, will write on their ti kefs COURT OF ERRORS, and all those Oppose; : to it NO COURT OF ERR.)H i and for the purpose of giving elli, a y to the will of the people, let a return of the vote so taken be made to tin Executive Department, to be laid be fore the ensuing session of the Legisia (ore. ffe are Gentlemen , Respectfully your Obedt .

Extract, from the presentments of the Grand Jury of the Superior Court of Chatham County, May Term, 1828. We will not conclude our pre sentments without an earnest recom mendation to our fellow < itizens, tbe People of Georgia, to make a common effort to obtain a decisive expression of their sentiments, concerning the establishment of a Court of Errors. But the recommendation of Grand Juries in this matter is not sufficient; the sentiment of a county may or may riot be expressed,* & we are warned by experience of such recommendations having been so often made without ef fect, that we propose a direct refer ence of the question to the people. Upon subjects of less importance to us a public vote has been solicited, and has been received as conclusive ol the fate of any contemplated alteration of our laws, or the constitution but h a resort to the people is a modern im provement in representative govern ment, proclaiming in the Hall of Le gislation the will of the constituent upon constitutional changes, without impairing the dignify of the represeii ta'tive; or controlling his freedom of action, iu prescribing the details to give effect to such positive demonstra tions ot the public voice. Indeed it is the only manner in which the peo ple, in a representative government, can act democratically; and by it ! more certain and unbieSM rj expres- siotts oi their sentiments ran be given than were ever obtained in the aggre gate assemblies of renowned am ient democracies. We therefore recom mend the exercise of a right upon this occasion, by the people, arid will very briefly state some of our reasons l'ur deeming the subject of such impor tance. We think the Judicial System of Georgia needs a Court ol Errors, because its practical operation with out such a court lies destroyed the permanency and universality of the law, as a rule of action. Because e-| veil in the same district, the law of yesterday is not the law of to-day, the decisions of a Judge are not obligato ry upon bis successor; and the proof which at one terra to enable a p rty Ito recover, will not he sufti ieut at the next; not because there is any change’ in the evidence, but because tnelawj has been changed by the change of the J tnlge. We object to the Judicial System of Georgia, because it confides to the judgement of a single individual, (su preme in his circuit, and from whose decision there is no appeal,) the great rights of life, liberty and pr perry. It is notorious that iu counties ad jacent, but in different circuits, the law applicable to our ordinary con rads is differently administered. That evidence which would fix the liability of parties to notes of hand and nits *l exchange in one circuit, would se insufficient in another; and the rules regulating the introduction of testimo ny in actions to try titles to land, are o variant and opposite in diff rent 1 *r nits, that with the same evidence, me man has recovered his estate, whilst another, in an adjoining coun ‘y* and of a diff rent i in uit, has been permitted to maintain a tortious pos session. The statute of the State prescribing die order of paying debts of t xecutors tnd administrators, is differently ad ninistered, and their liability to an ictioh lor a devastavit depends upon he circuit into which they may re nove ahd reside, . ft<t having tody nd fairly administered the estates represented by them iu anotner. , Our Penal Code is differently in terpreted in different circuits, and tbe s eme larceny consigns one felon to the Penitentiary for years, and an other to the whipping post. These re some of the existing differences hi die administration of our laws; many others might be adduced, and the on-i ly remedy to prevent the multiplica tion of them, is a Court of Errors. We therefore respectfully recom mend to the People of the cuunly of Uiiatnam, to give on the first Monday in October next, an expression of their seiumi-mts upon this subject; and re quest that the Magistrates presiding at the election on that day, will act <is a Lomrmitee to receive their votes* We respectfully recommend to our leliow ciLz ns iu every county, to a dopt the same inode and time, to ob tain a similar expression of public sentiment. We request the Justices of the In leri i* Court to act as a ((vminittec of Gorrt.qu mleuce to circulate this pre sentment into every part of Georgia; and to devise, in connexion with oth er committees that may he, appointed, ihe be*t way of giving efficacy to the will \ f ibe people, when it shall be ex pressed ir this regard.
