Observations On The Inutility Of Grand Juries, And Suggestions For Their Abolition: To Which Are Added A Few Remarks Upon The Necessity Of Empowering Coroners To Take Bail (1857) Observations On The Inutility Of Grand Juries, And Suggestions For Their Abolition: To Which Are Added A Few Remarks Upon The Necessity Of Empowering Coroners To Take Bail (1857) is a book written by William Corne Humphreys. The book argues that grand juries, which are panels of citizens that decide whether there is enough evidence to bring a criminal case to trial, are unnecessary and should be abolished. Humphreys suggests that the role of grand juries could be replaced by a system where judges decide whether there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial. Additionally, the book proposes that coroners should be empowered to take bail, which would allow them to release suspects from custody before a trial. Overall, Observations On The Inutility Of Grand Juries, And Suggestions For Their Abolition provides a critical analysis of the traditional legal system and suggests reforms that could improve its efficiency and fairness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
