ELEVEN vERDICTS A DAY BY AN
ENGLISH JURY

Jesse Macy, writing about the
great advantages of the procedure of
English courts over American, in the
September McClures dwells upon the
splendid work of English juries:
"The working of the British jury
system exhibits marked contrast
with that of our own. 1t is possible
that our experience in British courts
was exceptional, but in not a single
instance did / see juror challenged
or rejected. In all of the courts re-
quiring juries the necessary num-
her of men were present and they
were sworn in without question. b In
the Sheriff's Deputy court in Scot
land the presiding Judge gave notice to
the jury that he expected to adjourn
the court at two, o'clock, and stated
that II they could not remain until
that hour he would at once dismiss
the men who had been called for a
second panel. The jurors conferred
together and agreed to remain till
one O'Clock, whereon the Judge no.
titled the other men TO appear at
twelve thirty. The one jury en-
paneled for the morning session rend-
nsnA gtx iAta In. Inv a-.sft
prosecutions for thefts, fraud, and
burglary, In the court of Quaker Ses-
sions at Taunton England, / saw
single jury in one day render eleven
yerdicts. | found that it was custom
ary in the several sorts of courts
that attended for the same jury to
act in successive cases. In no instance
did | see a jury leave their seats to
make up their verdict. Usually the
issue before them was made so plain
that all who gave attention knew in
advance what the decision would be.
1 made note OF an exceptional instance
of delay, when the court was forced
to wait nine minutes for the report
of the jury. In this case the judge
who gave the instructions was him
self IN doubt as to what the verdict
ought to be.
"a Scottish Jury consists OF fifteen
persons. and a majority may render a
verdict. In England the number is
-welve, and unanimity is required.
But noted no difference as to pra-
c;.al results in the two countries. The
twelve men in the English jury were
as prompt and certain in their action
as We're the eight out OF fifteen In
