Jury MAJoRTIEs.-A distinguished member OF
the English Parliament proposes an act enabling
majority of jury to render verdict. 1t is
known that instances are multifarious in which
ind viduals are placed on juries, by fraud, on
purpose to defeat the ends of justice, and by
stubbornness to obtain new trial. The aw-giv-
er assumes that it is difficult to obtain half jury
of scoundrels, and that the judgment of major
ity would, in most instances, be just. Another
proposes that a plurality of ten be enabled to
decide, on the suppostion that not more than two
fools or villains can be crdnmed into the panel
without discovery
