Trial by Jury Losing Ground.

Trial by jury continues to decline in
popularity in the county courts, not
withstanding the numerical change in
the jury and the increase in the more
important cases, The number of ac.
lions determined in 1905 was S75,2S0
and only S43 were tried by juries. This
is the lowest number of which there
is any record in the returns. Juries
have never been much in request in
the county courts. The demand for
their services has actually diminished
as the business OF the courts has in.
creased 1875, 1880; 1885, 1850; 1895,
11SG; 1905, S43
There were ten circuits in 1906 on
which the number OF cases tried by
juries did not exceed three. On the
circuit which includes Bolton, Wigan
and Oldham not q single case was
tried by jury during the year. In
the employment of jurors, as in the
treatment of debtors, the views of
County Court Judges differ. The de.
cline Of trial by jury in the county
courts may be attributed not so much
to an increasing want of faith in the
institution on the part of litigants as
to the strong prejudice which some
County Court Judges exhibit against
it.-London Law Journal.

not see the stern expression OF his

There was silence for awhile, broken
only by Nell's ftful sobs.
George was so quiet that at length
she grew frightened and looking up,
she ventured a feeble "Well?"
Her husband did not look at her as
he answered, he kept staring straight
into the fire. but there was that in
his voice which hurt her, more than
the words he said.
Yes, Nell, this is what | have been

explains the old mans lonely exis-
tence. In spirit of idle curiosity |

And by aad ny she smiled through
her tears as they went over the tangle
of the evidence, and she quite forgot
the hateful Alice" whom Jack Hal
dane had mentioned, till George ex-
planned that she was the sister OF his
chum, and had been happily married
for many year.
A fortnight later they read the
