WHAT CONSTITUTES a STRUCK JURY.


SIR: Will you please inform me, and doubt

Jury is ANDREW H. IROrfhR
Brrstoi. r. T.. April II.
Under the New-York statutes struck jury may
be ordered for trial i'll the Superior, City, or Su-
preme Courts where 1t appears to the court that
far and impartial trial cannot otherwise be had.
The method is as follows the clerk or commits
sioner of jurors oI If such officer is thought to be
interested then dsinterestcd persons appointed
by the COURT at a designated time, selects from the
list of persons eligible for jury duty the names OF
forty-eght persons deemed to be most indiifer-
ent between the parties and best qualified to try
the issue" As soon as this list is certified one party
strikes one name from the list then the opposing
party strikes another, and so on until each has
stricken twelve names off the roll. The remaining
twenty-four persons arc summoned. and from them
the struck Jury of twelve is selected i'll the usual
way to try the case. The empanellmg of such jury
is a rare occurrence. The two cases OF the People
