is aothing further to detain you.
Chief Justice—Certainly, gentlemen of the jury, the
very laudable and minate attention which was given by
you in this case from the beginning to the end was great
indeed. The loss of your time, the interference with
your occupations and pursuits for nearly a month, via°
certainly great ; but then it was to be borne in mind that
this was an unprecedented case. I am sorry to say the
Court has no power to order you any compensation,
The act of Parliament does not orderit. You have
paid that attention to the whole progress of this trial—' painful as it has ee—which has been highly honour,.
able and highly crbedintable to you all; but that is all f
can say—we have not the power to give you any coin'
pensation—we thank you for your attendance, and VW
are dismissed.
