There ffies the Bat ‘on ciHing wings'—
The Burial Ground us Summerville!

Oh. there at this sad lonelv hour,
1 lave in mournful mood to ?tr;iy,
Fr*e from the calking, venom’d povv’r
Os things that vex the soul by day;
There falls the unavailing tear,
And while the throbs of anguish fill
Jdy broken heart —oh, even there
1 bless the shades of Summerville.

Gentlemen ,
Pursuant to the wishes of the
Grand Jury of this county, we beg
leave to hand you their present uci.t
or the subject of establishing a (jour
for the Gone, ti ,nos Errors in thi*
state. We think with the Grand Ju
ry. that in a matter of such great io -
port nice to the interest of the commit
nity, public opinion ought to be con
sulted; that it is due to the good peo
pie of tills state to refer the qoestioi
at once to them, for the purpose ol
eliciting an expression of their senti
ments, at the next general election
We therefore respectfully recommeu
to the Justices of the Inferior Com*
•*f each county, to give public noli..
that the presiding Magistrates at tic
general election in October next, wi’d
receive the votes of the people on tni>
subject; that all voters favourable to
the establishment of such a tribunal,
will write on their tickets COUR'i
OF ERRORS, and all those <*ppose<
to it NO COURT OF ERROR?;
and for the purpose of giving efficacy
to the will of the people, let a retur?
of the vote so taken be made to tii
Executive Department, to be laid be
fore the ensuing session of the Legisla
tu re.
ff'e are Gentlemen,
Respectfully your Obedt. Servts.

Extract from the presentments of the
Grand Jury ojthe Superior Court <f
Chatham County, May Term, 1828
\\ e will not conclude our pr •
sentments without an earnest return
mendation to our fellow citizens, tin
People ol Georgia, to make a common
effort to obtain a decisive expression
ol 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
not 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 ha 9 been solicited, and
has been received as conclusive of
the fate of any contemplated alteration
of our laws, or the constitution.—Such
a resort to the people is a modern im
provement iu representative govern
ment, proclaiming in the Ilrtli of Le
gislation the will of the constituent
upon constitutional changes, without
impairing the diguity of the represen
tative; or controlling his freedom of
action, in prescribing the details to
give effect to sue h positive deimmsfra
tions of the public voice. Indeed it
is the only mariner in which the peo
ple, in a representative government,
can act democratically; and by i
more certain and ui biassed expres
sions of their sentiments can be given
than were ever obtained in the aggre
gate assemblies of renowned anenn
democracies. We therefore recoin
mend the exercise of a right upon this
occasion, by the people, and will very
briefly state some of our reasons foi
deeming the subject of such impor
tanre.
We think the Judi iai System of
Georgia needs a Court of Errors,
because its practical operation with
out such a court has destroyed tin
permaneucy and universality of the
law, as a rule of action. Because e
ven in the same district, the law of
yesterday is not the law of to-day, the
decisions of a Judge are not obligato
ry upi/n his successor; and the proof
which at oiih term to enable a p ity
to recover, will not be sufficient at the
next; not because there is any change
io the evidence, but because the law
lias been changed by the change of
the Judge.
We object to the Judi'ial System
of Georgia, because it coi tides to the
judgement <fa single individual, (su
preme in his circuit, and from w hose
decision there is oo appeal,) the greai
rights of lite, liberty and property.
I’ is uot< ri*.us that in counties ad*
j *ceat, but in different circuits, the
i.tw ; ppli <tle to our Ordinary con
caCis is differently administered.
Hut evidence which would fix the
liability **f parties to notes of hand and
dlls ol exchange in one circuit, would
•*e insufficient m another; and the rules
r guiatiag the introdui tiou of testimo
ny iu a< tions t<* try tides to laid, are
so variant and opposite in diff rent
tr airs, that with the some evid-nee,
•ne iiian lias recovered his estate,
whilst another, in an adjoining coun
ty* and of a different < ircuit, has been
permitted to maintain a tortious pos
session.
The statute of the State prescribing
the order o( paying debts us exei loin
nd i du.iiii'di r lots, is diffTeutly j,d
ministered, and their liability to an
ictioo fur a dt vastuvil depends upon
be ciri nit into wliich they may re
move and reside, tfhr having fully
•od Fa.it ly administered the estates
epr*seiited by them in another.
Our Pen-d Code is diff ren ly in
terpreted in diifreni circuits, and
the same larceny consig .8 one felon
to the Penileuti.ity for y ars, and an
other to die whipping post. These
re some of the. existing differences in
■ lie administration of our laws; many
others might he adduced, and the on
ly remedy to prevent the multiplica
tion of them, is a G>uri of Errors.
N\ e therefore respect fully recoin
in* ud to the People of die county of
Chatham, tu give on the first Monday
w< 0 tobir next, an expression of their
semiim nls upon this subject; and re
quest dial the Magistrals presiding
ai die election on dial day, will an
vs a Committee to receive their votes*
NV e resp i ti Lilly i*e ominend to our
fi'llow citizens in every county, to a
ilopt the same mode and time, to ob
rain a similar expression of publii
sentiment.
We request the Justices of the In
ferior Court to act as a < orninittee of
Gorrespendtoee to irculate this pre
sentment into every part ol Georgia;
rtd to devise, in (onuexion with oth
er committees mat may b appointed,
