Unfinished business. Mr.. Waterman at
Hydepark. called up H. loo. in addition to
chapter 81 z. : relating 10 jurors. Mr.
Ballou Of Burlington, said that 1t the design
OF the bull was to exclude Nasons from serv-
ing as Jurors, the bill must be amended as ii
could not now apply TO them in any sense
hlr. Waterman OF Hydepark, agreed with
Mr.. Ballou, and stated that the only differ
ence between this bin and the Law as it now
exists, is the clause in the second section
which allows the challenge of a Juror who has
i taken any extra judicial oath not author ,
zed by law; :" and this clause can not {
made TO apply to the Masonic fraternity. as 4
is they ars not compelled 10 take such an
lath as here described. lie then explained .
hat il would exclude members of religious
md political societies SIS well as members OF \
ecret organizations. lie suggested other {
,bIecions to the bill, which might be rene /
lied by amendment, and should be done If it {

merits in it, and the bill ought to become

rom serving on jurics. c
Mr.. Stevens, of Westminster, said, that for a
himself he bad no particular objection to
members of secret societies serving as Jurors, e
'ut he knew that some people in his section
et very seriously on the subject, and he
hOught some of them, entertaining the Opin-
ons they did, could not be safely tried be-
ore jury composed of some secret societies.
lie could see, from the argument adduced,
bat there were objections 10 the bill. and Ii
assed they should be remedicd.
