it, He would charge the jury very briefly, and
he hoped the case would be taken up, and a
construction given to the Statute. The jury
brought in verdict of not guilty. The Judge
then passed sentence in the case of assault. I'm
ing the defendant ten dollars and costs.

for new trial, the principal ground being that
the jury had in their room, during their delib-

tanning what purported to be the principal evil
dence in the case, and that said paper was read
in the presence OF the jury. Two of the jurors
were sworn, and testified that about foI o.
clock in The morning one of the jurors took q
copy of the Standard from his pocket, and sew
eral of the jurors read the evidence reported
IN the paper. Prior to the reading, the jury
stood nine for conviction and three for acquit-
tai. They remained thus divide until short
| time before they came out of the room.
The Court granted a new trial, holding that
there was misconduct on the part of the jury.
1t is improper for juror to take to his room
any notes of the testimony, even if such notes
were taken by himself. Each juror must rely
solely upon his own recollection of the testt-
mony.
The case was set for Thursday of this week
and venire issued for new jury.
