J. Grout Jr for DIT
In the case of State VS.. Chas. Calkins
before reported, the respondent was SEN
fenced to pay fine of 500. and work
out the same under the direction of the
Sheriff
In case of State VS.. George Hatch in
which the respondent was found guilty
of an assault with intent to commit rape,
the verdict was set aside and new tri-
al granted by the court on account of
the irregularity of the jury in procuring
a copy of the Gen'l Statutes of Vermont
to study the law in the case, instead of
taking the law from the judge in open
court. 1t is time that juries learn that
they are to try cases according to the
law and the evidence given them IN
court.
