TES Lordship stated that odor the Now Juries Act, the
exemption claimed by tho ton cud county of Poole, to seri°
on juries for the munty of Drset bad boon supposed to hove
boon taken away. Too Multipol Act shrug Mod the Charters
which gave power to claim itunotiou from serving on juries.
It appeared, therefor°, that hey could no Linger claim ouch
exemption. Now, the Clock f,tho Peace, instead of the high
Constable, WM appointed lb compotsut authority to order
the overseers to make the Sums. The Clerk of the Posen
for Dorset lamed his Iloilo to the overseers of Poole to
return the hot of persons °Silted to serve, but they refused
to comply, and under tho eimmotancee it would be the duty
of the Clerk of the Poace o bring the matter beforo the
Court of Petty Seldom In th district. For his own port, he
had no doubt, after a wog examination of the Aria, but
that oligiblo persons of the tam and county of Poole, were
liable to serve on juries litho Asairot for Dorset; and it
mowed to him only fair the they should so do. Prisoner,
were sent to Diirchester froneoole for trial, and all Nisi
Cl4e, were heard them, and trely they shouhl assist in the
trials. At all events tile opine of the proper tribunal ought
to be taken.
