JuRIEs.-The New York Times finds in the
recent inability of New York jury 10 agree %

"How shall we secure juries to try surb
cases who will understand their oalhs IT, 'Yy
the case upon the evide ce, and their duty o
take The law from the court, and to find v''r-
diets in accordance with that law"
Juries are themselves the judges of the Law n
criminal cases. and 1t is not their duty to taxi,
the law from courts. This prerogative of juri,'s
is Cue Of the old safeguards of the liberties of
the people, and is not to be yielded because a
particular verdict or particular failure to
agree upon verdict, may not chime in VIII
temporary impulses We are commanded tt
