REFORM IN CRIMINAL LAw.-LOrd Campbell is
about to introduce into the British Parliament a
bill dispensing with the practice of requiring a
unanimous verdict from jury. He does not pro-
pose the majority principle, but he wishes to get
rid of the practice of tampering with jury BY
placing one man upon it TO hold cat against all the
others He desires that if, after certain delibera-
ton by the jury, they all agreed except one or tWO
the verdict of those who had agreed should be con-
sdered as good as the verdict Of the whole twelve
subject however, to be reviewed, and, if necessary
set aside. This, he thinks, would tend completely
to break up the practice of packing juries, or in
crease the risks, by making it necessary to bride
more than one of the jurors.

poem by WItlAa ALIEN BuTIER, Es author Of Nothing

The present work has much Of the freshness and
originality which distinguish its predecessor and
will esjoy a sill more extended popularity. When
delivered before the "Phi Beta Kappa Society,"" at
Yale College, the poem vas decided success, and
unlike most productions which are greatly admired
as spoken efforts, It viii bear close and critical
perusal.
The plot Of the story is well managed, and the
author displays considerable discrimination in his
portraiture Of character. FRKIN, the here of the
story, ia millionaire who had begun life in the
''packing business" had accumulated fortune OF
two millions of dollars, and was still like OLIVER
TWIST "striving for more" The following cOuplet
presents graphic picture Of the man:
The portly figure, with its solvent air,
PrOclams to all the world the Millionaire

Then know that close behind your gorgeous hearse

FERKIN is found the next morning apparently

He GAINED the uproar, heard the story through
And strove in vain catch its hidden clue.
To tear his will had Firkin really meant
Or was it only strange accident!

Perchance doubtful law; in either view,
The case novel and the point was new;
And it was plain at the first observation,

The Firkin VIII Case rises into light,
Latest and greatest Of the famous causes,
About last wills, cOlicils and clauses.
He sees the eager birds Of prey who wait
Around the carcase Of the huge estate

Three bulky quartOs stuffed with the proceedings
Ten leading Lawyers cammed with special pleadings

With cross examinations scsrihed;
And twenty doctors, poTtly and persistent
