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. ELIAS FORI ,J.LG. V C. ALEX. TELFAIR, J. I. G. C. C. JAGOB READ. J. I G. C C. MOSES SIIEFTALL, J. 1. C. C. C. 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, the best way of givii.g * tic aey to the will cf the people, when it snail be cx pn ssed iu this regard- Carriage Making. ’| HE Sufun Tiber respec foi.y m ! mis the public, that he s ill car ■ es on the above bush css in Warren on, and continues to m ke and repair Carriages ol ail drriptims at prices corresponding vi.h the times.
