PROTEST FROM OGDEN.
Mr.. Allison presented the following:
Gentlemen-By section 15O1k of the pro-
posed county government bill, it is Pro-
vided in substance, that if either party to
a civil cause pending in the district court
shall desire jury trial of the same, he
shall, at or prior to the time of the setting
of the cause for trial, notify the clerk in
writing of the demand for jury and de-
post with the clerk the sum of SIS for
the purpose of covering one days attend
ance of the panel of jurors, and that an
additional sum of SIS shall be deposited
for each day occupied in the trial of the
said cause.
We the undersigned. citizens of Ogden
City and county of Weber respectfully
protest against the passage of this sec
ton.
The constitution of the state contem.
plates that a jury trial in civil causes
shall be preserved when demanded by
either party to the litigation. 1t is a
matter of common information that very
much of the litigation which is carried or
in our courts is between the rich and the
poor classes OF people, and to require q
poor person to make the deposit of the
money provided in the section referred to
is a practical denial of his right of tria
by jury. 1t is equally well understood
and is a matter of general information
that the richer classes of people always
desire their matters in controversy to be
submitted to a court with jury.
The adoption of such a section would
practically work an abolition of the jury
system, at least so far as the poor anc
unfortunate are concerned
