D., and mt least three wooden bridges
are known TO have occupied the same
site prior to that date.
The old bridge was slightly over 9Ot
feet in length, and had eighteen solid
stone piers, varying in thickness from
twenty-five to thirty-four feet, thus
confirming the flow Of the river to less
than half its natural channel. The en-
tire surface of the bridge was Occu
pied by blocks of brick and stone build

Trial by Jury.

Trial by twelve compurgators, which
was of canonical origin, existed in An
glo-SaXOn times and only resembled
what is known as trial by jury in the
number Of persons sworn. Under the
name Of wager of law it continued to
be the law of England until abolished
Aug. II, 1888. Traces Of trial by jury
nre found in the reigns Of William l.
and H., Henry l. and Stephen. but II
was not fully established until the
reign of Henry IL. Trial by jury was
first adopted in criminal cases In the
reign Of John, 1890, and was the
established mode Of dealing with them
ut the end of the thirteenth century.
Witnesses were examined and evidence
first laid before juries in the reign OF
Henry W., 1422-81, but this change
was not fully carried out till the time
of Edward VI. 1541-53. The laws re-
specting juries in England were re-
modelled June %, 1S25.-LOndon Globe.
