10. At the spring assizes next after the said summer assizes the grand jury of each county within which any part of the proposed tramway lies, shall on the application of the promoters take into consideration the report of the Board of Works, and also the further report of the county surveyor on the undertaking, (who is hereby required to make a further report thereon to the grand jury, and to deliver a copy thereof to the promoters three clear days at least before the inquiry by the grand jury,) and shall hear in opposition to the application any such owner, lessee, occupier, company, person, or inhabitants as aforesaid. The grand jury shall then definitively approve or disapprove, as they may think fit, of the undertaking, with or without modification, having regard to the merits of the undertaking in engineering, financial, and other respects; which definite approval or disapproval (with, in case of disapproval, the grounds thereof) shall be certified in writing under the hand of the secretary of the grand jury.
