Mr.. Jacob addressed the Board in re.
lation to the number to be selected
from each township to serve as jurors,
contending that to require the small
townships to furnish as many jurors as
large ones was hardship. He argued
that it was based entirely on popula'
ton, the law requiring at least twenty
to each thousand inhabitants.

hardship was more imaginary than
real. The population of the country
townships was generally permanent
while in the city quite large proper
ton must be regarded as floating.

Mr.. Oesterling, and offered the follow
ing: :,
Resolved, That each Supervisor shall
