JURY REFORM.
Massachusetts, Has n New Law Containing
Excellent Provisions.

A new jury law has just gone into
operation in Massachusetts,, and some
Of its provisions are manifestly so good
that they might we'll be embodied in
the code of other states. For instance,
one section reads, 1.-THE board of alder
men of any city shall not strike any
name from the jury list as prepared, ex-
cept of person who has been convicted
Of crime and has not been pardoned on
the ground of his innocence of said
crime, or of person who is not quail
fed by law for service as juror. The
intention here was to do away with the
favoritism by which men Of influence
were in the habit of Kidding themselves
of the duty of serving ON juries.
The penalty for violation of the Sec
tion quoted is severe, it being provided
that if any person is guilty of fraud in
the drawing of jurors, either by prac-
ticing on the jury box previously to a
draft, or in drawing juror, or in re-
turning into the box the name of juror
which had been lawfully drawn out
and drawing or substituting another in
his stead, or in striking a name from
the jury list, he shall be punished by a
fine not exceeding $500.
An additional official safeguard is
thrown around the selection of jurors
by the requirement that the mayor of
any city shall be present at the drawing
and verify by personal inspection the
result of the ballots announced by the
alderman appointed for the purpose
The law was framed to counteract the
corrupt influence that had previously
prevailed in the making up of juries in
the cities of the state.-New York Post
