(hdg.: Great Britain. Courts of Oyer and Terminer and General Gaol Delivery. Commissions of oyer and terminer are issued by the sovereign to judges of assize, ordering them to inquire into treasons, felonies, and misdemeanors committed in the county specified in the commission, and to hear and determine ("oyer et terminer") the same according to law. Special commissions of oyer and terminer are issued in emergency cases. The commission of general gaol delivery empowers them to try and deliver every prisoner who shall be in the gaol when the judges arrive at the circuit town, whatever his or her crime may be. The words "oyer and terminer" are also used to denote the court which has jurisdiction to try offences within the limits to which the commission extends) |
