Gentlemen, Pursuant to the wishes of the Grand Jury of this county, we beg leave to hand you their presentment on the subject of establishng a Court for the Correction of Errors in this state. We think with the Grand Ju ry, that in a matter of such gnat im portance to the interest of the oommu nity, public opinion ought to le con sulted; that it is due to the good poo pie of this state to refer the question at once to them, for the purpose ol eliciting an expression of their senti merits, at the next general election. We therefore respectfully recommend to the Justices of the Inferior Cour of each county, to give public notice that the presiding Magistrates at the general election iri October next, will receive the votes of the people on this subject; that all voters favourable to the establishment of such a tribunal, will write on their tickets COURT OF ERRORS, and all those opposed to it NO COURT OF ERRORS; and for the purpose of giving efficacy to the will of th* people, let a return of the vote so taken be made to the Executive Department, to be laid be fore the ensuing session of the Legisla tors. lie 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 (irizens, the People of Georgia, to make a common effort to obtain a decisive expression ot 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 has been solicited, and has been received as conclusive of the fate of any contemplated alteration of our laws, nr the constitution,—Such a resort to the people is a modern im provement in representative govern ment, proclaiming in the Ilall of Le gislation the will of the constituent upon constitutional changes, without impairing the dignity of the represen tative; or controlling his freedom of action, in prescribing the details to give effect to such positive demonstra tions of the public voice. Indeed it is the only manner in which the peo ple, in a representative government, tan act democratically; and by it more certain and unbiassed expres sions of their sentiments can be given than were ever obtained in the aggre gate assemblies of renowned ancient democracies. We therefore recom mend the exercise ofarigfit upon this occasion, by the people, and will very briefly state some of our reasons for deeming the subject of such impor tance. >Ve think the Judicial System of Georgia needs a Court of Errors, because its practical operation with out such a court has 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 his successor; and the proof which at one term to enable a party to recover, will not be sufficient at the next; not because there is any change in the evidence, but because the law has been changed by the change of the J udge. We object to the Judicial System of Georgia, because it confides to tin 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 property. it is notorious that in counties ad jacent, but in different circuits, the law applicable to our ordinary con tracts is differently administered. That evidence which would fix the liability of parties to notes of hand and (ills ol exchange in one circuit, would be insufficient in another; and the rules regulating the introduction of testimo ny in actions to try titles to land, are so variant and opposite in different circuits, that with the same evidence, me man has recovered his estate, whilst another, in an adjoining coun ty, and of a different circuit, has been permitted to maintain a tortious pos session. The statute of the State prescribing the order of paying debts of executors and administrators, is differently ad ministered, and their liability to an action for a devastavit depends upon the circuit into which they may re move and reside, aft r having fully and fairly administered tlifc estates represented by them in anotner. Our Penal Code is differently in terpreted in different circuits, and the same larceny comsig s one felon to the Penitentiary for years, and an other to the whipping post. These are some of the existing differences in the administration of our laws; many others inigot be adduced, and the on ly remedy to prevent the multiplica tion of them, is a Court of Errors. W therefore respectfully recom mend to the People of the county of i Chatham, to give on the first Monday jin October next, au expression of their sentiments upon this subject; and re quest that the Magistrates presiding at the election on that day, will act as a Committee to receive their votes* We respectfully recommend to our fellow citizens in 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 ferior Court to act as a committee of Correspendence to circulate this pre sentment into every part of Georgia; and to devise, in coiinrHiuu with oti el* committees that may be appointed, the best way of giving efficacy to the will of the people, when it shall be ex pressed in this regard- Carriage Making.
