Little Falls ought to take a lesson

JURIES IN ENGLAND.
They Get Through Their Work Quickly
and With Little Fuss.

They Get Through Their Work Quickly
and With Little Fuss.
The working of the British jury sys-
TEN exhibits marked contrast with
that of our own. 1t is possible that my
experience in British courts was ex-
ceptional. but in not single instance
did I see juror challenged or reject
ed. In all of the courts requiring ju-
ries the necessary number of men
were present. and they were sworn in
without question. In the sheriff's dep
uty court in Scotland the presiding
Judge gave notice to the jury that he
expected to adjourn the court at 2
o'clock and stated that IL 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 till I o'clock. whereupon the
Judge notified the other men to appear
at 1890. The one jury impaneled for
the morning session rendered six YER
diets in cases involving prosecutions
for thefts. fraud and burglary.
In the court of quarter sessions at
Taunton. England. saw single jury
In one day render eleven verdicts. l
found that it was customary in the
several sorts of court that I attended
for the same jury to act in successive
cases. In no instance did I see jury
leave their seats to make up their ver-
dict. Usually the issue before them
was made so plain that all who gave
attention knew in advance what the
decision would be. I 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 the eight out of fifteen in the
Scottish jury.-McClure's Magazine.
