Of questions enumerated by the presiding
Judge. In cases of murder, with robbery,
these questions sometimes amount to as many
as fifty or sixty; for the indictment is made
to include oil the minor counts of aggravated
assault, simple assault, etc, so that If the
prisoner be acquitted on the charge of murder,
there shall be no need to begin a fresh trial to
convict him Of manslaughter.
In France it is with the jury that lies the
prerogative Of admitting ''eztenuating cir
cumstances;" in Belgium it is with the judges
There is much to be said for both systems
the main objection to the French method
being that juries often admit ''extenuating
circumstances" without any relation to the
merits of the case, but simply because they
object TO capital punishment. Many a French
murderer has owedhis life to the fact of ten
der-hesrted juryman having read M. Victor
Hugos "Dernier Jour dun Condamne," or
Beccarias essay against the penalty of death.
