         This case is also reported in Read’s Notebook, 3.
      
    
   Bayard said the former Chief Justice said he knew of no rule of practice that was established by our courts but this, that a struck jury should continue until a new application, to which the Chief Justice Read replied, “I have heard the former Chief Justice complain that the struck juries stood too long, and I am of the opinion if they stand longer than one term it is by agreement.”

N.B. It is the law in England, vide 5 Term 453.
