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
fur the Correction of Errors in this
slate. We think with the Grand Ju
ry. that in a matter of such great im
portance to the interest of the commu
nity, public opinion ought to be con
sulted; that it is due to the good pf o
pie of this state to refer the question
at once to them, for the purpose of
eliciting an expression of their senti
ments, at the next general election.
We therefore respectfully recommend
to the Justices of the Inferior Court
of each county, to give public notice
that the presiding Magistrates at the
general election in October next, will
receive the votes of the people on this
subject; that all voters favourable to
the establishment of su< li 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 effii a< y
to the will of the people, let a return
of the vote so taken he made to the
Executive Department, to be laid bo
fore the ensuing session of the Legisla
ture.
tie are Gentlemen ♦
Respectfully your Obeilt. Struts.

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 liiizens, the
People of Georgia, to make a common
effort to obtain a decisive expression
of their sentiments, concerning the
establishment of a Court of Errors.
Hut the recommendation of Grand
Juries in this matter is not suffit ient;
the sentiment of a county may or may
not be expressed; A 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 com lusive of
fli?“Tate of any contemplated alteration
of our law s, or the constitution.—Such
a resort to the pe< pie is a modern im
provement in representative govern
ment, proclaiming in the 11*11 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 su* h positive demonstra
tions of the public voice. Indeed it
is the only maimer in which the peo
pl'*, *n a representative government,
can 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 am ient
democrat it s. We therefore recom
mend the exercise of a right upon this
occasion, by the people, and will very
j briefly state some of our reasons for
deeming the subject of such impor
tance.
Me think the Judicial System of
Georgia needs a Court of Errors,
because its practical operation with
out such a court In s destroyed the
permanency and universality of the
law, as a rule of notion. 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 upon his successor; and the proof
whii h at one term to enable a party
to recover, will not he sufli ient at tin
next; not because there is any change
in the evidence, but bc ause the law
has been changed by the change of
the Judge.
We object to the Judi< ial 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,j the grea 1
rights of lile, liberty and properly.
It is notorious that in counties ad
jacent, hut in different circuits, the
law applicable to our con
tracts is differently administered.
That evidem e which would fix the
liability of parties to notes of hand and
bills of 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,
one man has recovered his estate,
whilst another, in an adjoining coun
ty, and of a different circuit, has bet n
permitted to maintain a tortious pos
session.
The statute of the State prescribing
the order of paying debts of ext< uturs
and administrators, is diffi remly ari-j
ministered, and their liability loan
action for a devastavit depends up >r
the circuit into which they may re
move and residt, ..lor having fi.ily
and fairly administered the estates
represented by them in am-toer.
Our Penal Code is differently in
terpreted in different circuits, and
the same larceny consigns one felon
to the Penitentiary for years, and an
other to the whipping post, Tuese
are some of the existing differences in
the administration of our laws; many
others might be adduced, and the on
ly remedy to prevent the multiplica
tion of them, is a Court of Errors.
We therefore respectfully mom-!
mend to the People of the county of
Chatham, to give on the first Monday!
in October next, an expression of their
sentiments upon this subject; and re
quest that the Magistrates presiding
at the election on that and y, will act
as a Committee to re< eive iheir votes*
We respectfully recommend to our
fellow citizens in every county, to a
dopt the same mode and time, to ob
tain a similar expression of public
sentiment.
We r< quest the Justices of the In
ferior Court to act as a committee of
Com\spcndence to circulate this pre
sentment into every part of Georgia;
and to devise, in connexion with otti
er committees that may be app unted,
the best way of giving ♦fficary to the
will of the people, when it shall be ex
pressed in this regard (
