VERDICT.

Upon the return of the Jury, which was about 7 o'clock,
Laid John Fitsii.y, the foreman, turned to his brethren and
said As many of you, gentlemen of the jury, as ere of opi-
nion, that John Charles, Earl of Portsmouth, is a man of un-
sound wind and condition, and incapable of managing himsrlf
and hie ajjairs, signify the same by holding up your hands.'
All the jury held up their hands.
The foreman than said—" Gentlemen of the jury, as many
of you as are of opinion that John Chink*, Earl of Portsmuuti.,
has been of unsound mind and condition, and idcapable of sir,/
'saying himself and his affairs, from the fat of January, Ibo 9,
signify the some by holding up your hands."—The jury were
unsinoinus in the allinnative.
Commissioner 'Lower then stated, that as there had been
nn eiridelitie as to who was heir to the titles and estates of the
said Earl of Portsmouth, the said jurors were to announce the
fact of their not knowing who was the heir.
The verdict thus given was then committed in a legal foam
to paper, and haviug been read over to the pry, received their
aignatcres, preparatory to being presented to the Lord Chan-
cellor.
The Foreman begged to slate, with respect to the limbers
of Parliament who ware upon the jury, that the• thought pro-
per to repeat the oh tions they had already made upon the
subject of serving upon juries during the sitting of Parliament,
end that they were induced to do so to prevent such a measure
front being drawn into a precedent hereafter.
Mr. Comminsiooer Trower.—" Gentlemen, if we had not
calledsipon you, or had you thoeglit proper to exercise your
privilege, to use the language of one of the speakers on the
occasion, we should be ' God knows where.'"
The commission was then dissolved.
