Benefit of Peerage.

Every one may not know what the
term "benefit of peerage" implies. A
peer can demand private audience of
the sovereign to represent his views on
matters of public welfare. For treason
or felony he can demand to be tried by
his peers. He cannot be outlawed in any
civil action, nor can he be arrested un-
less for an indictable offense, and he is
exempt from serving on juries. He may
sit with his hat on in courts of justice,
and should he be liable to the last pen
atty of the law he can demand a silken
cord instead of hempen rope.
