Iuisb to ai has
handed up from a very respectable person stating
that yesterday the persons standing behind the
jury-not persons there heard TO make
remarks in respect TO this case in the hearing
Of the Jury that the OF the complaint want 1t
understood that that is grave ofense and one which the
Court would punish severely and summary without respect
to the person who might guilty Of it, and hope such
thing will occur again. and it does charge the officers to
notify me Of on the instant The gentlemen present have
seen my ocitude enable the jury to out without being
subject to the casual observations that people might think
proper to make and think hard that citizens should so far
forget respect due to the jury to indulge observations
in their presence.
Mr. Ryarts-f your Honor please have observed without
thinking any evil it, though Of eours that sometimes the
spectators audience would lean that rail- Immediately
behind the jury and of course would bring themselves quite
in proximity and although Of course there desire that there
should be as much space for visitors possible yet ii really
seems to me as il that space behind the jury might be kept
clear.
Judge Neison-wen, Sir, it shall be so hereafter.
The usual recess was here taken.
