countable cause, be had refused to pay the' Even shit-
ling: to each Juror, to which they were entitled for the
seven. verdicts.
Mr. Corm; the Chairman, said that there were certain
fees which the officers of the Court Were allowed by
Act of Parliament, and if it was a custom to pay tire
rJury, he saw no reason why the gentlemen shOultl, oil
the part of the Mint, refuse to pay the fee)...'"HelMr.
Const) could not interfere in the matter.
Foreman—No other Government Board ever has & %s. giving
ike Jury their customary fees.
Mr. Field, an inspector on the part of the Mint. said that he
did not believe it was a custom.
kr,, Powell, jun. the Solicitor, observed, that it was against an
soar of the Lords of the Treasury to pay fees to a Jury.
Mr. Allen, the Deputy Clerk of the Peace, said, that
by Act of Parliament he was.entitled to take Bs. for Isis
fee upon every verdict ; and when the seven Mint cases
were tried, Mr. Powell, the Solicitor, paid him his legal
fees, but he refused to pay the Jury, although it w.is
customary.
wilionostanl—Mr. Alley, the Coonsel, admitted that the Jury had
Wows been paid the fee glom he belonged to the Bar..
. Mr. Powell, jun. observed that the latetlerk of the Peace *did
not take the amount of Court fees now demanded by Mr. Allen.
The Foreman—l hope, Mr. Chairman, you will order our feet
to be paid—it is very disgraceful conduct on the part of the Mist.
The CHAIRMAN said, I base no power to order the
money to be paid; I cantor interfere latatitit fees, and if
Mr. Allen were to take a guinea for a half guineafeei
I could not interfere. He would be subject to an -in-
dictment most certainly; but whether it is a custom to
pay the Jory or not, I cannot make an order on the
subject.
Mr. Powell, jun. said, that whatever fees were de-
manded by the Officer of the Court, they would, -in
future, be paid ; he should not inquire as to their ap-
propriation, but pay the money as Court fees; he could
not consent to pay the money to the Jury.
Foreman—We ask for no more than we are entitled to.
CZAIIIKAW— The question is settled,. I believe; air. Powell *aye
he has no objection to pay the money In the shape of Court fees.
The Jury appeared satisfied, and alerwards they
tried and found Guilty, J. Divine, for uttering counter- .
frit coin at the shop of Mr.-Hamilton, in Clerkenwell,
and he was sentenced to six monthii imprisonment.
