thur modern civilization is growing
somewhat tired Of the trial by jury. and as
the political circumstances which gave the
system birth have changed. it must be con-
fessed that in many respects il is cumber
some and necdlessly expensive in time and
money. Criminals are now almost exclu-
sively of the very lowest classes of the
community. and for petty crimes some
cheaper and more expeditions method of
srial is desirable. 1t is rather burdensome
that thirty-six respectable citizens, to all
of whom time is valuable, should be with
drawn from their work to convict one
chicken thief or settle a bootblack's quar-
gel. Yet so il is: the intervention first of
= grand and then of petit jury being
absolutely necessary under the present sys-
TEN. The latest experiment in the way of
remedy comes from Saxony. where it is
said to have worked so well that It's extern
sion is advocated 1t is 4 jury composed
af three lawyers and four laynlen. \ ma
6ority verdict must have the vote of at
least one lawyer, or it must have the voice
af five of the seven.--Press.
