Judge and Jury.

From the Boston Traveller.
As we understand Il. in all criminal
and In many civil cases the court con-
sists OF the Judge and jury; and II our
understanding IS correct contempt Of
such court would cover the persons and
dignities Of the jury as well as the Judge
Any man who reflects upon the Judge or
his judgments may be hailed before him
and punished; n a iuryman found fault
with the decisions Of the judge the bench
would warm him. Now. here is what we
want TO know: When the judge sitting
on his bench proceeds TO give the tuyr
dressing down when the verdict doesn't
suit him, Is he not guilty of contempt OF
court? Why can't the foreman Of the
jury read the judge q lecture for such
criticism and punish him for contempt,
since the Jury is part and parcel OF the
court? We should Ike some wise and
pugDaciOus attorney TO tell US just where
we are at; we may be on the jury some
day and may be hoped on by the Judge,
and we want TO be prepared for the

cealed in the price OF sugar. cotton. and
