Mercer Co.. cisruit Court

Adjourned last week, after a session of
something over a month. The docket We
understand is pretty well cleared Of bust
ness, which viii in all probability prevent
any necessity for so long a term for some
time tocome. One cause of delay, we are
informed, IS the process by which jurors
are selected. A worse and more unsatis
factory plan could scarcely be devised than
the present one A Juror is not selected
for any known or supposable qualities he
may possess fitting him for the position,
but in a hap hazard manner, which is Just
a. likely to select the worst as the best ma
terial. AS an instance Of the working Of
the new law, We are creditably informed
that several of the Grand Jurors for the
term Of Court just closed were intoxicated
during their session, some of them keeping
pretty well under the influence of whisky
the most Of the time that they were in SEES
sion. Such state of affairs does not re
feet much credit on our county, and we
only allude 10 the matter that our people
may be aroused to the Importance Of u
change in the law The old plan by which
the Board OF Supervisors selected the
jurors for our courts may have had faults
for aught we know, but it was certainly
very much preferable ~ the present plan.
As we understand the present law the
Board ~ Supervisors select from the As
SCISSORS Tor other books the names of 90,
200 or 300 persons, as they may deem best,
and these are placed in a box and drawn
from when jurors are wanted. II doesn't
take a prophet " tell the result. -.lIedo
