first sight of the panel amazed him utterly.
He could scarcely bring himself to believe
that the thing was seriously intended out
when the truth came home to him, his IN
dignation was most intense. The purport
of his letter is to protest against the at
tempt to swamp and des troy the constitu-
tional practice of trial by jury. He puts
this very much as if the attempt" were
some hideous novelty in Ireland; indeed.
as if it were an attempt at all, ana NOT
merely the continuation of system which
has been actively and too successfully
worked since trials by jury under English
law began to be first held in Ireland. NO.
thing is more familiar to the experience OF
Irish Catholics than to have their names
kept out of jury lists, or to be told to "stand
aside" in court. But it has not been SO
usual to find Protestant juror making o
protest against the indignity which he had
suffered by the fragrant use OF such q pro-
cess of selection. That is precisely what
Protestant juror does in the letter now
before us. He calls loudly for "fair play"

| saws, .s as that on which l had the doubt
full honor of being SUMMONED, let us once
| for all abandon the clap-trap cry OF the
British Constitution" In fine, the writer
declares for a meeting of those who nave
been subjected to this indignity." Ex-
posure of such practice is at all times very
useful, and we, therefore, hope that the
| men concerned with this appeal will be
4 manly enough to receive It in the proper
spirit.
