TRIAL BY JURY.
PART I.

difficulties, and which can be supported
by important arguments, regards the
British system of sworn inquests as
being derived from Normandy. What
ever may be the remote source of this
institution, out of which trial by jury
unquestionably grew, two points are
clear, viz 1. The system of inquest by
sworn recognitors, even in its simplest
form, makes its first appearance in
England, soon after the Norman con-
quest. 2. This system was, in England,
from the first, worked in close combina-
ton with the previously existing pro-
cedure of the shire -moots, the assem-
blies of the county, held by the sheriff
aided by the bishop Of the diocese.
No trace of such an institution as
jury can be found in Anglo Saxon times,
and if it had existed distinct mention
of it would have been made in the
Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporary
chronicles which we possess, extending
from the time of Ethelbert A. D. 568-
GIG to the Norman Conquest; but no
mention is made.
With reference to criminal trials, we
meet in the ordinance of King Ethelred
II 978-1016, with sort of jury Of accusa-
ton, resembling the grand jury Of today,
and possibly its direct progenitor. In
the Gemot of every hundred, the twelve
senior thegns (or thanes) with the reeve,
were directed to go apart and bring
accusation against all whom they be-
ieved to have been guilty of any crime.
But this jury did not determine the
guilt or innocence of the accused that
had to be decided by compurgation, or
the ordeal. This primitive grand jury
probably continued in use after the
Norman conquest, until it was recon-
structed by Henry II. For more than a
hundred years after the conquest, the
ancient Anglo-Saxon modes of trial, or
forms of proof, by ordeal, by oath, by
witnesses and production of charters,
continued in general use alongside the
Norman procedure-the wager of battle,
and the occasional employment of the
inquest by sworn recognitors.
The conqueror was evidently anxious
that the English should still continue to
enjoy the rights and customs with
which they had become familiar. AS a
result, we find that the distinctive
features of the Anglo-Saxon juris-
prudence were retained by the conquer
er. Nethertheless, he made some i'm
portant changes in the judicial system.
He separated the spiritual and temporal
courts; he introduced the combat, OF
duel, as a means of determining civil
actions and questions of guilt or in.
nocence; and he appointed judges to
administer justice throughout the realm

jury in it's application to judicial matters,
were realized. The sworn inquest ap-
pears to have been at first chiefly used
for determining non-judicial matters,
such as the ascertaining of the laws of
King Edward, the assessing Of feudal
taxation under William II and Henry I,
and the customs Of the church of York,
which the latter monarch, in 11O6,
directed five commissioners to verify by
the oath of twelve of the citizens. On
one occasion the conqueror ordered the
justiciars to summon the shire moots,
which had taken part in suit touching
the rights of Ely. A number of the
English who knew the state of the lands
in question, in the reign of Edward, were
then to be chosen, and these were to
swear to the truth Of their depositions;
action was then to be taken accordingly.
In spite Of this, there are equally early
instances Of strictly legal matters being
decided by the recognition, on oath of
certain number of probi etlegales homines,
selected from the men Of the county to re-
present the neighborhood, and to testify
to facts of which they had special knowl
edge. The Normans generally abolished
trial by conjurgators in criminal cases..
and though the trial by ordeal long con-
tinued in force, it began to be looked
upon as absurdity.
In the year 1915 (the date of Magma
Charta), the ordeal was abolished
throughout Western Europe by the
fourth Lateran council, which prohibited
the further use of that mode of trial, so
that trial by jury became unavoidably
general in England, in order to dispose
of the numerous class of cases, when
the charge was preferred, not by an in
jured individual against the culprit in
the form of an appeal, but by the great
inquest of the county (the modern
grand jury in the form of present.
ment Obviously it was only where
there was an accusing appellant, that the
trial by babble was possible. There was
for long time no mode of compelling a
prisoner to submit the question of his
guilt or innocence to twelve such men,
summoned from the neighborhood.
Magma Charta.
The thirty-ninth section of Magma
Charta says: No free man shall be
taken or imprisoned, or disseised, or
outlawed, or exiled or anyways des-
troyed, nor will we go upon him, nor
will we send upon him, unless by the
lawful Judgment of his peers, or by the
law of the land" This has been gen.
orally taken as establishing the institu-
tion of trial by jury. But such can
hardly be the fact, for the same ex-

laws of earlier date than Magma Charta

foundation of all German law, and the
very formula, here used is probably
adopted from the laws of the Francon-
ian and Saxon Caesars
The use Of jury both for criminal
presentment and civil inquests is men
toned for the first time in the English
statute law in the constitutions of Clar-
endon (1164.) The manner in which the
jury is referred to, gives the impression
that it was already in common use.
The statute declared that "by the recog-
milton of twelve lawful men," the Chief
Justice should decide all disputes as to
the lay or clerical tenure of land
Extension of Jury Trial by Henry II.
It was in the Grand Assize (the exact
date Of which is not known) that the
principle of recognition by jury, having
gradually grown into familiar use in
various civil matters, was applied by
Henry II, in an expanded form, to the
decision of suits to determine the right
to land. This assize is called by Clan
vile, contemporary, and the earliest
judicial writer of Importance, a RECALLS
institutio. In it may be found the jury
in it's distinct form, but the elements of
which it was composed were all fam
iliar to the Jurisprudence Of the period.
By the grand assize the defendant was
allowed his choice between wager Of
battle and the recognition of a jury of
twelve sworn knights of the vicinage,
summoned for the purpose by the sheriff.
The Magma Assisa was a mode of
trial confined to questions concerning
the recovery of lands of which the COM
plainant had been disseised; the rights
of advowsons; claims of vassalage,
affecting the civil status of the defend
ant A writ was then addressed to the
sheriff, commanding him to summon
four knights of the district, in which
the disputed property was, who were,
after they were sworn, to choose twelve
lawful knights who were most familiar
with the facts, (qui meluis veritatem
sciant,) and who were upon their oaths,
to decide which of the disputants was
entitled to the land. The defendant
was summoned to hear the election of
the twelve jurors made by the four
knights, and he might object to any of
them.
Jurors as Witnesses.
When the twelve were duly chosen
they were summoned by writ to appear
in court and testify on oath as to the
rights of the parties. They took an
oath that they would neither give false
evidence nor knowingly conceal the
truth; and, according to Glanville,
knowledge meant what they had seen
or heard by trustworthy information,

Latonia Derby Monday.

Cincinnati, May 1.-The classic La tonia Derby will be run Monday after noon at the beautiful course of the La- tonia Jockey Club, over which many noted turf struggles has taken place during the twenty-five years of it's ex- istence.
 The Latonia Derby will be the first of the year at a mile and half, and will test the speed and endurance of a half dozen or more of this years best 3-year-olds. The stake will be worth lucky equine that lands the big end of the purse will be a race horse sure enough. Nearly all the candidates entered for the great event are now duartered at the track and not a few of them have gone the full distance in most impressive fashion. The track has been at its best for a week or more and all the work outs have been close to the winning mark. If 1t happens to rain on Derby day, the race will be more uncertain than ever. The most formidable candidates have shown a liking for a fast track. If the going should be heavy next Monday. the race will likely go to an outsider that will be at home in the mud. There is no pronounced favorite for the rich stake, although two or three of the starters are strongly favored by the talent. Among the starters will be Baker and Gentry's Judge Redwine; J. B. Res pess's Brandon; J. J. McCafferty's The Puritan; Dan OBrien's Longf1o; John Morriss Amur and Gaharis; Schorr's Alard Scheck; J. D. Smiths June Gayle and W. H. Laudeman's Hernando.
