Come I hear him, SUPERIOR COURT. THE :FBING TEEM NOW IN SESSION. Judge R. B. Russell opened the ! spring term of Gwinnett Superior j court Monday morning. Following is a list of the grand jurors: George H. Jones, Foreman. Wm. D Jinks, Geo. G. Bowman, John F. McCain, Geo. L. Knight, John W. Farr, W. M. Ethridge, Lesly A. Wood, Alfred T. Patterson, Geo. W. Farr, Daniel M. Clower, Miles E. Ewing. John I). Wright, Richard M. Bennett, Geo. W. Simmons, John G. Loveless, Thomas W. Davis, Martin C. Mewborn. John C. McDaniel, Robt. H. Duncan, Steven M. bower, Robt. C. Lankford, John R. Hopkins. The Judge’s charge to the Grand Jury: Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen : Your body having been organized by the seleetion of your foreman and duly qualified by taking the oath prescribed by law, it now becomes the duty of the Court to direct you as to the scope of your duties and the method of your deliberations, and then to give you in special charge certain statutes which our Code requires every Judge in this state # to lay before each and every Grand Jury. However familiar these laws may be to you, the law commands me to direct your special attention to each of them specially, and you have been sworn to make dilligent inquiry and true pre sentments as to these matters which I thus give you in charge, In obedience to that law which re quires that in every county in this state at least two regular terms of the superior court shall be held at fixed times, we have assembled and are about to organize a court,of which, under our laws, you form a most important part. In some states there are no Grand Ju ries, but in Georgia you are charged with certain duties, entrusted under our law to no other power. Through your jury commissioners the state has selected you for a special purpose, and set you apart from the body of the people as being amongst the most upright, intelligent and ex perienced of her citizens. And incom pliance with law you have been sum moned from your homes and the pur suit of your own affairs, and conse crated by your oaths to the public ser vice. I confidently trust each of you fully appreciate the important duties aud high responsibilities which rest upon you, and the Court relies upon you to discharge those duties not only dili gently, but with such speed and dis patch as will prevent you from wasting any time uselessly,so that by this econ omy of time you may contribute your share to the relief of your tax-payers. The Grand Jury selects from time to time ail members of the Board of Edu cation, aud thus the Grand Jurors con trol through their agents the county school systems. Your body selects from time to time all those Notaries Public who are ex-officio Justices of the Peace, and thus you are largely respon sible for the character of these inferior judicatories. And while the jurisdic tion of these courts is limited, they bring justice, or injustice, to almost every man’s door, and ofttimes fulfill very important functions. You are charged with the general su pervision of all the property of the county, as well as of the financial con dition. To you, all officers of the county en trusted with any of the funds raised by taxation, are required to report. And it is through your careful examination and public report, touching these ser vants of the people, that these tax payers generally (each one of whom is entiled to know that every dollar drawn from him by taxation has been lawfully spent) are to obtain their in formation. You can aid the Court in enforcing the road laws, and perform a lasting service to your people by seeing that the road commissioners execute their duties under the present law. Or you may adopt the new road law known as the alternative road law to which I will again call your attention. In addition to all these matters of a civil nature, as no person can be tried for crime in this court except upon in dictment or presentment preferred by the Grand Jury, the duty devolves up on you whenever the criminal law has been violated, to bring the charge, without which there can be neither trial, conviction or punishment. The good, law-abiding citizens look to you for defense against the evil, the reckless and the lawless, and their pro tection depends upon your finding out evil doers and bringing them before the bar of justied. Tour diligent action will bring upon you the blessings of all good men and women, as well as light in your own hearts, that pure and fervent glow which oomes from the consciousness of duty well done. A court is defined to a place where justice is judiciously administered. Justice then, is, or ought to be, the prime object in view, the ultimate end to be attained in every proceeding in court, and by every one charged with the performance of any duty, hswever insignificant it may seem, or however great, responsible or important it may be. Incident to our courts is a Judge, Sheriff, Clerk, Attorneys, Grand and Traverse Jurors, as well as certain as sistants. The duties of each of these are all clearly defined and definitely pointed out, and it is of the utmost importance that each one discharge his specific du ties witli fidelity, accuracy and dis patch. Your body, Mr. Foreman, must stall times consist of not less than IS nor more than 23 members, and it is neces sary that at least 12 members of your body shall vote in favor of finding a true bill or a presentment before the < accused can be by you charged with I crime or misdemeanor. And the names of all those acting on the bill, regardless of how they may have voted, shall appear written or printed in the body of the indictment. Indictments and presentments differ only as to their origin. If the charge originates in the body of the Grand Jury, that is if some member of your body knows of a vio lation of the law and makes it known to his fellow Grand Jurors, and if after considering the evidence they deem the matter sufficiently well founded and sustained by proof to try the accused, yon report the facts to the Solicitor General and ask him to formulate the charge according to law. .This being done, the paper containing the charge is called a presentment of the Grand Jury. If some one who is not a member of the Grand Jury knows of a violation of the law and wishes to prosecute It, he goes to the Solicitor General and gives him she facts and a list of his witness es, and the Solicitor General formulates the charge, attaches the name of the prosecutor and presents the paper to the Grand Jury. This is called a bill of indictment. On each, the present ment and bill of indictment, your Fore man must endorse the wovds “True Presentment,” or “True Bill,” and sign this finding before returning either in to court. Your proceedings being exparte you only hear one side, that is the state’s witnesses in either event, but should the proof be insufficient, in your judg ment, to sustain the charge, then your Foreman will endorse on the indict ment the words “No Bill.” and return it to conrt. Your oath sets forth in a succinct form the spirit in which you should act no less than the scope of your du ties as regards the prosecution of crime. Y’ou will diligently enquire and true presentment make of all such matters and things as may be given you in charge or come to your knowl edge touching the present service. You will diligently enquire, not glance at your public property,make a superficial examination of the books and records of your county officers and consider hastily the violation of offenses. By this kind of perfunctory service the tax-payers of more than one coun ty have already suffered great loss. The solemn oath you have taken places on you the obligation of diligent service to your fellow citizens. The State’s Counsel, your fellows and your own deliberations you wili keep se cret unless called upon to give evideoee thereof in some court of law in this state. This includesall thatmay trans pire within your jury room relating to the sayings or acts of any member of your body in reference to the matters with which you are charged by law. It is the policy of the law and essential to the success of your diligent inquiry in to your public matters and in the fer riting out of crime that your delibera tions should be secret. I cannot con ceive how any juror selected for his in • telligence and uprightness and distin guished for experience can so far for get the trust with which he is charged and the solemn oath he has publicly taken as to divulge the secrets of state with which he is entrusted and upon whose inviolability depends our very safety from dastardly crimes. It has sometimes been a matter of current re mark that the action of the Grand Ju ry on bills is known before it is turned into court. I do not know how much truth rhere was in such rumors, but this Court would consider it a duty not to be shunned to enforce the maximum penalties for contempt should such a case be sustained by proof before me. And a Grand Juror who would thus vi olate his solemn oath by divulging those secrets you have sworn to keep, should not be in the jury box at all. The next part of your oath puts you on your integrity as a just, upright man. “You should present no .one from envy, hatred nor malice, nor leave any one unpresented from fear, favor, affection, reward or the hope thereof.” One scarcely need be re minded that a position where one has power over the life, liberty, property or reputation of another should not be invaded by the detestable vices of en vy, hatred and malice; for when they enter, wisdom, justice and moderation leave. Their joint occupancy of any portion of a court of justice is impos sible. So if you had any such feelings you lay them down when yon take up the grand juror’s oath and the grand juror’s sacred duties. You are none the less warned against the influence of fear, favor and affection. Fear not to bring into court the richest and most influential citizen as quickly as you would the humblest negro in your county. If he be guilty of crime, in a court where blind justice holds the scales evenly balanced no wealth nor frieod nor influence can save him from just punishment. I fear it is too frequently the case that Grand Jurors strain at the gnat of infraction of law by some of the poor and humble and shut their eyes to crimes on the part of those whose prom inence would make the infliction of just penalties a telling example to oth ers in like case offending. In the words of your oath, “You should pre sent all things truly and as they come to your knowledge, so help you God.” Thus you call upon tl\£ great God of Heaven and earth to witness that, for saking all human influences and evil motives you will discharge your duties fearlessly, honestly, justly. Surely no higher type of man exists than the ideal legal Grand Juror should he. The Judge theu charged th jury, as required by the statutes, ou the laws against gaming, sell ing liquor, etc., and also as to the duties of the jury-in examining the records of the county officials, the jail and other public buildings, after which he gave this special charge to Hon. George H. Jones, the foreman: Mr. Forenan: The integral unit of government is the family; the sanctum sanctorum in every true man’s heart is his home, and mother and father, wife and children there hold absolute title to citizenship without the aid of hu man law. In the home center are our first interests and our holiest affec tions. The family being the type, that is the rest government which most closely resembles the family. Many, if not all of you, have happy homes, and in whatever you do your mind turns to your loved oues. There is no symphony in music as sweet as the tunes of their loved voices; no colors that ever lit the canvass are as bright and beautiful to you as their sunny smiles By sustaining the law, upholding the hands of the court, and aiding in the execution of justice, you remove the temptation of evil example from your hoys, and insure the happi ness, comfort and protection of your girls. Fully conscious of the weighty re sponsibilities with which I have been entrusted, I desire to say now that it is my fixed resolve, sustained, I hope, by the Great Judge of all the earth, to perform without fear, favor or affec tion every letter of that solemn oath l have called Him to witness, and asked His help to discharge. In this court all shall receive equally their rights and none shall enjoy any special privileges. In the same spirit I offer you my service I ask your co-operation not only as grand jurors for the present term but as citizens, for the co-opera tion of every good citizen is needed to make the enforcement of law and jus tice a success. In making this request of you, and the citizens of Gwinnett county gen erally, I assure you of my warm per sonal and friendly interest In what ever may promote your welfare and and prosperity and the common good; a friendship for you, and interest in your people which goes back to my very boyhood—back to those sunny days of youth on which my memory loves to linger, where, as a bare-footed boy, 1 attended my first school in this town, and since which early date I have always been glad to acknowledge my very grateful appreciation of the uniform kindness and hospitality of the good people of Gwinnett county. Give me your co-operation and aid me to dispatch the public business of your county with economy to the over burdened taxpayer, and with con venience and saving of time to all who have to attend court. And let us all acting together so en force tire laws as to guarantee to every citizen, the richest and the poorest alike, to the humblest as well as the highest, every right of life, liberty, property, health and reputation to which he is entitled under the consti tution and laws of our state.
