Professional Jary.aeu.--We clip the fol-
loving paragraph from tlo Wellington Ur-
ion:
/ \ legal gentleman suggested that one cause
/ Of the curious vcrdicts often given in our GRIM
! inal courts Is the presence Of men on the ;u-
/ ries who make q regular practice Of hanging
about the City Hall, aud standing in readi-
ness to act as talcsncn. y judge IN Chicago
recently told several Of this class Of gentlemen
that they had swell earned their reputation
IS professional jurymen, and also sufficient
amount Of wages to enable them 70 retire into
private l.fe. lie wished fsr their services no
longer. Their faces had become too familiar
in the court room, and hs had no doubt that
/ the pubic and persons ha1ing business before
the court, as well as himself, would be but
too happy 70 dispense with their services."-
! Then turning 20 the sheriff the Judge said:
mir. Sheriff, if End the Jury composed of
these professional gentlemen. / will iinmedi-
ately order It's discharge" Perhaps the ex-
ample might be followed in this District.
