AND EAST CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORLAND NEWS. NO. 440 - Eighth Week in Quarter Registered for Transmission ABroad. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1874. PRICE 1D. _________________________________________________ His Lordship (BARON AMPHLETT) took his seat in the Crown Court at half-past ten o'clock, and MR. JUSTICE DENMAN presided in the Nisi Prius Court, where there was only one case for hearing, which did not occupy the court more than half an hour. After the usual preliminaries the following gentlemen were sworn on the Grand Jury: ADMIRAL RUSSELL ELLIOT, Appleby Castle, (foreman); HENRY C. HOWARD, Esq., Greystoke Castle; WM. HOPES, Esq., Brampton Crofts; JOSEPH SALKELD, Esq., Templesowerby; WILLIAM HENRY WAKEFIELD, Esq., Sedgwick House; LIEUT.-COL. HUGH RIGG, Crossrigg Hall; JOHN WHITWELL, Esq., M.P., Kendal; JAMES ATKINSON, Esq., Winderwath; JAMES CROPPER, Esq., Ellergreen; JOHN HOWIT WILSON, Esq., Kendal; JOHN JAMESON, Esq., Moorhouses THOMAS MASON, Esq., Kirkby Stephen; WM. WAKEFIELD, Esq., Birkland; ALFRED DUDLEY KEIGHLEY, Esq., Old Hall, Milnthorpe; THOS. CHAMLEY, Esq., Warcop House; FRANCIS PARKER, Esq., Acorn Bank; FRANCIS MARKHAM, Esq., Morland; JAMES THOMPSON, Esq., Kendal; and FREDERICK COWPER, Esq., Yanwath Hall. His Lordship, in charging the Grand Jury, said it was his lot to say a few words with regard to his duties; and in the first place he wished to congratulate them on the very small amount of business they would have to dispose of. There were but two cases in the calendar - one was simple larceny and the other was the grave charge of child murder. His Lordship reviewed the depositions at considerable length, and left it to the discretion of the jury, whom he had no doubt had had great experience in such cases.
