]. It. McCurdy of counsel. After the case was
Smith excused one of the jurors from further
consideration of the case it having appeared
that he had answered one of the questions put
to him as to his competency to sit as Juror In
the case wrongly, although no one suspected
that 1T was done with any wrong intent. The
gentleman had simply forgotten that he had
once employed one Of the attorneys interested
| to appear for him in case which was settled
without trial. The attorneys present, and In
| fact the entire bar, commend Judge Smith for
| his action, taking the ground that too much
care cannot be exercised in the drawing of q
| jury and that 1t is the duty of jurors to think
before answering the questions put to them.
| The attorneys for both sides objecting to pro-
ceeding with eleven jurors, the jury was dis
missed and new jury called. After hearing
the evidence, etc. they were unable to agree
! upon q verdict The case will be taken up at
| the next term again.
