true bill

The so-called “true bill” against Kerrick followed a decision by a separate grand jury the week before not to indict him.

The same evidence which had before been given was now repeated, and a true bill was returned.

If so, then it is probably a lie: if not, then probably it is a true bill.

But to Mr. Grantley Berkeley, as foreman of the grand jury who found a true bill against me, I beg to draw your attention.

Therefore Trewlove is certainly an impudent scoundrel, and any grand jury would bring in a true bill against him for a swindler.

On the following Monday a true bill was returned by the Grand Jury against the seven persons charged with riot.
