The "Jury Law" Of 1855, drawn up by Mr.. c.

of the Just ces of ite Superior Court Of this city,

Young Of the Corpbl Coffee Housa for the purpose
of maintaining bis reputation with the liquor Dealers
which had been tOmeWha impaired BY bis consent

tie Judges Of TIE Supreme Court a good deal of
trouble. The Judges Of the Court Of Common Pleas
bad terrible time over il in the f st place, Judge
Briggs holding in opposition to some of the other
Judges that it was constitutional and that il
a substantial departure from toe Law as previously
la;d ,wn in the case Of Porter. BY some means or
ther this opinion, Or that Of me other Judge, Il 10
imnattrial which, got bef ~ the Supreme Court
for revisioD. When Mr Gray publishes h,s next
volume Of Reports say in the ye'r 1883 or 80, we
shall know Whist the Judges finally conclude that
they decided iu tie case. The report IS at present.
that three them tut Of six decided that The law OF
of lc55 made no charge in the law az it
before existed; and then that four Of them
decided that if it made any change, i, Was
unconstitutional. The only tangitl. point here is
that The old law is to remain in force But the old
law is aboutss vague the recent decision 10 un-
sided human reasOn it amounts to this: that lawyer
may argue to jury the question Ofthe cons.i MtiOnsl
ty Of a law, but the jury must not for omen, pay
aIy attention to bis argument or consider the qIes-
tioB. Well, the other day, in Essex County, during
the discussion upon some liquor cares Judge Shaw let
out The remark that the Supreme Court considered
the law Of lc55 un,Ound. WbereupOn Judge
Thomas and Judge D.wy said that they Eere not
aware that The Court had come to any such nclu-
zion. Judge Merrick then came u the rescue vi
the OVERCOME Chief and confirmed his statement
Judges Metcalf and BigelOw do not seen to hsve
been present. They would probably have sustained
the Chief Justice.
The fris nds Of Mr.. Banks held bsDque. at Walt
ham last night, and tie Governor elect made sen.

the disposition Of the State ,fces, and very gen
erol dtnond on the part of Mr.. B4nks's supporters,

is even said that Major Stevens, the S~rg- suta n.

ceItury or more, will be made 10 WAX toe plank"
If be gCes, squad Of bis underlioes will have 70
follow. There will be no very geneisl lame ntati,n
if this charge is made, for although Major Stevens
is personally popular and known u very great
number Of political Ten, there 10 a feeling that he
has had the ofice loug enough, aud aIso, perhaps,
that the duties will be We'll performed hereafter by
some younger ard sprishtlier man. The Insurance
Commission will pr badly be abatsd as Daisance.
If kept up, it will be for the purpose Of rewsrdns
political partisaDs.
A jolhhcstion has also been held 10 Natick the
residence Of Senator Wilson. The Senator, 10 q
cor grstulatory speech said that the recent victory
achieved by the Anti Slavery party under the LAD
Of Mr. Banks was the frst one which had been
achieved "by tho friends Of universal and impartial
liberty, without the coo yeratlon Of other political
