TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN.

SlR,—The remarks of the press on the above
subject will, it is to be hoped, receive that attention
at the hands of the Legislature which its import-
ance demands ; and the sooner the better, because
the errors of the present system have long been felt
as rather unsatisfactory and a little unfair.
The attendance of both special and common
jurymen is, very properly, strictly enforced, and
in cases of non-attendance they are equally liable to
such fine as the judge may think proper to impose.
Such being the case, and as they each alike incur
the responsibility of neglect, it is but right that the
rate of remuneration should not be so widely diffe-
rent as it is at present. The special juror receives
a guinea a time, and the common juror Bd.—an ab-
surdly small sum for similar duties. The common
juror ought to have ss. a time, and no reasonable
person will say that is too much.
The special jurors are also subjected to great in-
convenience; they have very often to wait days for
a case, which, after all, is withdrawn, and they are
dismissed without receiving a farthing. This is
glaringly unjust. Because the litigants choose and
demand a special jury, and if they withdraw the
case, the jury in attendance have as much right to
be paid as the counsel and attorneys; and if you,
Sir, think that the cause will be aided by the pub-
lication of this letter, its insertion will greatly
oblige

Your most obedient servant,
GEORGE ELLIS.

The Abbe Richard,
mentioned for his skill in discovering water springs, has
lately in Hungary been exceedingly successful. At De-
breczin, about 70 miles from Pesth, he pointed out several
places were springs existed, and in one instance a boring
was made in his presence, at a place where he said water
would be reached at a depth of 25 feet; the 24th was hardly
reached when water rushed out and rose to a height of 21
feet,
