PRESENT,

The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

WHEREAS by an Act, passed in the session of Parliament holden in the third and fourth years of the reign of His late Majesty King William the Fourth, it is enacted, that Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Most Honourable Privy Council, shall have power from time to time to order and direct at what place or places, in any county in England or Wales, the assizes or sessions, under the commissions of gaol delivery and other commissions, for the despatch

of civil and criminal business, shall be holden; and to order and direct such assizes and sessions for the dispatch of civil and criminal business to be holden at more than one place in the same county, on the same circuit; and to order and direct the assizes and sessions, under such commissions, for the dispatch of criminal business, to be holden for the whole county at one place, and for the dispatch of civil business at one or more place or places in such county on the same circuit; and further to order and direct any special commissions of oyer and terminer and gaol delivery to be holden at any one or more places in any such county.

And whereas the assizes and sessions for the county of Somerset have hitherto been holden at Wells, Taunton, and Bridgewater, and it hath seemed fit to Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, that the assizes and sessions for the said county should in future be holden at Taunton and Wells only.

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased hereby to order, and it is ordered, that the assizes and sessions, under the commissions of gaol delivery and other commissions, for the dispatch of civil and criminal business, shall in future be holden at Taunton and at Wells, in and for the county of Somerset.
