BALLYBOT QUARTER SESSIONS.
Jan. 16, 1828.
At 12 o¹clock ths day ----- MOODY, Esq.
took his seat on the Bench, as locum tenens for
Mr. Dawson, who, we are sorry to understand,
is at present indisposed. The following Gentle-
men were sworn as Grand Jurors :--
Messrs. Adam Guy (Foreman), William Hancock,
Charles Jennings, John Caraher, James Spence, Mathew
Darcy, George Frazer, Patrick M¹Parlan, Joseph
Marshall, John Best, John Benn, Adam Ledlie, Robert
Sharkey, William Lockhart, John Pickup, James
Lawless, John Ritchie and John Weir.
Several other Gentlemen were called on a fine
of 5l. to make up the usual number, 23, but no
more than the above 18 answering to their names,
the Barrister intimated that the number sworn
would be sufficient.
The Learned Barrister, in briefly charging the
Jury, said he was happy to find that the Bills of
indictment which would be laid before them, con-
sisted of cases unimportant and of very common
occurrence.
