prevent the Germans, by arliiicc, from
taking part in the worK which they
wished to monopolize, they pretended
TO strike for wages, forming their for

ings were had on .empa:.n ling thef

advisable TO question the jurors called
in relation to their feeling towards f.r.

Of that principle.
Mr.. Townsend, for the prosecution;
in answer to the objection raised by.
MIR. Beach, did ot co ,cede that the
obligations Of the society would ne.
ces .sily prevent a. member, AS. q
juror, from returning a just and
fir verdict, in case like the present;
yet, TO IL certain extent he acquiesced-
in the views expressed by Mr.. Beach,
who regarded the tendency of thae'
connection as dangerous. liable to.
defeat the ends Of justice, and one that
should be carefully guarded against,
in cases especially VIII re the life or
liberty Of a Catholic foreigner is in
