JURlES N ENGLAND.
Thoy Get Through Their Work Quickly
 and With Little Fuss.

Th0y Get Through Their Work Quickly
 and With Little Fuss.
 The working of the British jury sys- tenn exhibits a marked contrast with that Of our own. It ls possible that my experiencc in British courts was eX- ceptional, but in not a single instance dld I see a juror challenged or reject cd. Tn all of the courts requiring ju- ries the necessary number of men were present, and they were sworn in without question. In the sherlff's dep. uty court ln Scotland the presiding judge gave notice to the jury that he expected to adjourn the court at 2 o'clock and stated that if they could all remain until that hour he would at once dismiss the men who had been called for a second panel. The jurors conferred together and decided to re- main tlll o'clock, whercupon the judge notified the other men to appear at 12:3O. The one jury impanelcd for the morning session rendered six yer diets in cases involving prosecutions for thefts, fraud and burglary.
 Tn the court of quarter sessions at Taunton. England, saw a single jury in one day render eleven verdicts. I found that 1t was customary in the several sorts of court that I attended for the same jury to act in successive cases. Tn no instance did I see a jury leave their seats to make up their yer dict. Usually the issue before them was made so plain that all who gave attention knew in advance what the decision would be l 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 himself 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 twelve, and unanimity is required. But I noted no difference as to practical results in the two countries. The twelve men in the English jury were as prompt and certain in their action as were tho eight out of fifteen in the Scottish jury.-McCmro's Magazine.
