The two Jurors, Messrs. Craven and
Lyon, whose names do not appear
here, are absent. We, however, but
ssS=zE Ih=iT sentiments.
Ga hearing this paper read, SIr. Mont
g1msry AZ once arose and stated that he
bad made no such charge against the
jury-lhat he had only said ne feared
the verdict was the result OF a cumpro-
mise-that y it was, the jurors were
guilty Of moral perjury. BE did not
say that the jury had compromised away
tasireOn7ictlons otright, but ifthey did
they had not proven faithful to their
oathz. He went on a; considerable
length 10 show that in q civil case,
where only a matter Of dollars and
cents Was In question, jurors might
compromise, but it was otherwise here
the guilt or party accused of crime,
was involved.
His Honor, Judge Acheson, remark
81 that the Court felt, at the time, that
The reflections cast upon the jury were
altogether unwaTTsuted, aud he had ac-
cordingly interPosed and stopped Mr..
Montgomery as soon as he could.
Making all due allowance for the zeal
and earnestness ofcounsel; he must say
that such imputdtiOns as SIR. MontgOm-
cry had INDUCED in were not justified
by the facts, for he had never known a
jury that he thought had labOred more
honestly, faithfully and conscientious
" TO discharge their duty than the one
that tried this case. AS Mr.. Montgom-
cry, however, had made his response
disc!aiming any intention to charge the
jurors with perjury, hehoped the matter
would end here.
