DIS MONIES. Feb. L. \,
The Senate held two sessions to-day
and the House was in session until
after twelve this forenoon. In theH
Senate the principal object Of Interest
was the bill in relation to costs of a
Jury in civil cases. The history of
legislation in regard to this matter is
about as follows: Previous to the
session Of the 14th General Assembly
the law provided that any one could
call jury in civil case, the county
paying the expense, but IS was taxed
against the loser as jury fee. Al
the above named session that law was
repealed and another enacted in its |
stead, providing that all the costs
taxed in a jury trial should be paid
by the losing one Of the parties liti-
CANT This law has been in force
four years, and the bill under consid-
Grafton was one to repeal il and to |
enact the old law in its stead. The
friends Of the bill claim that the
present law works a hardship to the
poor man, as he has seldom enough
involved to warrant him in run
ming the risk ofthe large expense Of
a jury trial, as this amounts to $24.
This being the case, that he is deter
red from taking advantage Of a jury,
he is indirectly deprived Of q right
which the constitution guarantees
him, namely, the right Of trial by
jury. On the other hand, the friends
ofthe present law oppose its repeal on
the ground that 1t decreases litigation
and that man satisfied of the Justice
Of his case will be willing to run the
risk Of the costs, for, If his claim is a
Just one, he will be in no danger, If
justice is administered in our courts,
in fact as in theory, he will win his
case. The friends of the bill really
killed it, for rs It was lost, q friend
moved to reconsider it. which was
