Saturday 03 Apr 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-3) GAOL DELIVERY. JONATHAN RAINE, Esq., King's Counsel, arrived in Carlisle on Thursday night, as late as half-past ten o'clock, having been detained at Newcastle by a press of business. The High Sheriff went out to meet him, attended in the usual manner, and the coach was ushered into the town by torch-light. Mr. RAINE immediately proceeded to the Court Houses, and opened the Special Commission for a General Gaol Delivery, after which the Court was adjourned to nine the next morning. In the afternoon, a number of Gentlemen in the Commission of the Peace, on the Grand Jury, &c. partook of the High Sheriff's hospitality at the Coffee House; but, in consequence of a recent death in his family, that gentleman was not present himself, and his place at the head of the table was filled by Edward HASELL, Esq. of Dalemain. Mr. RAINE has taken up his residence with the Mayor in Fisher-street. The Court opened yesterday morning at the hour appointed. After the usual preliminary business had been gone through, the following gentlemen were sworn as Grand Jurors. 1. Edward HASELL, of Dalemain, Esq. Foreman. 2. J. D. B. DYKES, of Dovenby Hall, Esq. 3. Wm. Ponsonby JOHNSON, of Walton House, Esq. 4. Thomas WYBERGH, of Brayton Hall, Esq. 5. William CALVERT, of Greta Bank, Esq. 6. G. S. MOUNSEY, of Carlisle, Esq. 7. Richard CUST, of Carlisle, Esq. 8. Matthew ATKINSON, of Templesowerby, Esq. 9. C. W. HUTCHINSON, of Carlisle, Esq. 10. Henry HALL, of Carlisle, Esq. 11. David KENNEDY, of Crosby, Esq. 12. John HODGSON, of Penton, Esq. 13. R. L. ROSS, of Staffield Hall, Esq. 14. James FORSTER, of Carlisle, Esq. 15. John LOWRY, of Bunker's Hill, Esq. 16. George BLAMIRE, of Suttle House, Esq. 17. Thomas BLAMIRE, of Carlisle, Esq. 18. Quintin BLACKBURN, of Norren Lodge, Esq. 19. Rowland FAWCETT, of Scaleby Castle, Esq. 20. Thomas HALTON, of Carlisle, Esq. 21. Wm. BLAMIRE, of Thackwood-Nook, Esq. 22. Peter DIXON, of Carlisle, Esq. 23. Richard FERGUSON, of Harker Lodge, Esq. His Lordship delivered the following charge:- GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND JURY, It affords me great pleasure, that it falls to my lot to address myself to persons such as now compose the Grand Jury; because it comes within my personal knowledge that many of you have that experience in business of the nature to come before you, which will tend greatly to render its performance easy, whilst at the same time it precludes the necessity of my saying much to you in the way of charge. Indeed, when I look at the calendar, I observe with satisfaction, all circumstances estimated, that there are not any cases of an alarming or frightful aspect: for when we consider the time which has elapsed since the last assizes were held in this place, a period fruitful in crime, it is rather a matter of congratulation to this great county that so few offences of a deep die have been committed. I do observe, indeed, three capital offences-one for forgery to procure the payment of prize money; the next, as great or perhaps greater, is for robbing the mail, the person robbing it being in the service of the Post-office, the third is a burglary. These, undoubtedly, are great offences. At the same time they are not marked by any features of atrocity, so as to make it necessary for me to say much regarding them. It will be your duty to examine the witnesses and to ascertain that the matters in charge are in some degree supported-it will be for me, sitting here in the station which I occupy, to sift the matter to the bottom, and to see that justice be impartially rendered. The rest of the offences, so far as the calendar describes them, are of a comparatively light nature. I will not now dwell longer than to suggest to you, that, for your own convenience, and for the dispatch of business, it will be desirable for you to enter at once upon the discharge of your important duties-and if in the progress of your enquiries, any difficulty should arise as to points of law, or of any other nature, I shall be extremely happy-indeed it is my duty-to render you any assistance in my power to give on being consulted by you through the medium of your foreman.
