provision requiring them to keep secret "the commonwealth's counsel, their
fellows, and their own." In this sense this word is synonymous with
knowledge; therefore, all the knowledge acquired by grand jurors, in
consequence of their office, either from the officers of the commonwealth,
from their fellow jurors, or which they have obtained in any manner, in
relation to cases which come officially before them, must be kept secret.
See Grand Jury.
