Is not tho frequent granting of new
trials. especially for serious offenses,
something Of reflection upon our juris-
prudence? Ought we not at the present
stage Of Civilization to have such laws
and judges that there will remain little
chance for the commission Of tho errors
that give cause for retrials? Juries are
not charged with many mistakes. The
granting of now trial on the ground
that the verdict was against the evil
dence is exceedingly rare. The worst of
criminals escape through the delays Sc
