Extract

resolved unanimously, THAT the Foreman be desired to convey to the Hon. SIR NASH GROSE, Knight, one of the Justices of his Majesty's Court of king's Bench, the respectful and cordial acknowledgements of the Grand Jury of this County, for the able, judicious, and well-timed CHARGE delivered by him from the Bench on the opening of the Commission of Oyer and Terminer, and General Gaol Delivery, at Hertford, on Monday the 7th of March instant, containing matter of the most important nature, and expressed in terms, which, whether [4] We consider the authority from which they are derived, or the excellence of the sentiments themselves, are most happily calculated to inspire and to confirm, in all ranks of men, a sincere veneration for our Holy Religion, a dutiful submission to the Laws, and a steady attachment to the true principles of our invaluable Constitution; and earnestly to request, in the name of the Grand Jury of this County, that he will consent to the printing and publication of the same.
