the jury system can be dispensed
with entirely. and the rights OF
individuals placed into the hands
of one man: such doctrine
would not oe given much
patience in this great Republic.
and, if it was attempted to have
our laws so that a Judge could
usurp the functions OF a jury, it
would raise howl. the recent
uprising in Portugal would be a
gentle zephr in comparison.
There are Judges who have q
fondneSs to deliver themselves
on the bench Of speeches for the
public applause, but we think
they are out Of place; the bench
is supposed to hold the scales OF
justice with an even hand, and
not to build sentiment, therefore
we say the speeches from the
bench. the comments. and cr!tl-
cism OF verd;cts, should be re.
garded violation Of Law as
much so, as it is for an individual
to approach 4 juror to discuss
case, with an influencing view,o or
to -eprimand q juror for the ver-
dict he renders. If a juryman re-
ported to a Judge that an individ-
ual accoSted him and rebuked him
FOR the verdict ne rendered. that
Judge would have the party
brought before him and ruled for
contempt ofcourt. Then we sayi if
the Judge can disapprove Of the

,uBlfsnED EVERY WEDNESDAY
TEE JUDGES AID TIE JURlES.

In the issue Of The TINES
September 18th. appeared a
comment on the criticism by
Judge Gage on the verdict Of
mot guilty" rendered by Lex
ington jury in murder case.
We took the position that a
Judge mas no right to comment
on the verdict of jury, that he
is to give them the law, and it is
for them to construe the facts,
and that they are to be the judges
Of the evidence. Because Of this
view expressed by US, Sum
merton subscriber writes Us to
inquire whether our sincerity IS
to be questioned in making this
comment. Just what be is driv
ing at We are unable to see an
less be thinks the Judge has q
right to reprimand jury for
bringing in verdict contrary to
his conclusions drawn from
hearing the testimony. If this
is whAt our iuterrogator means,
then We insist upon our position
that a Judge has no right i'll law
or morals to criticise the jury
for an acaui:tal.verdict. Why
do we say this? The constitu
ton promises every man charg-
ed with violation Of law a fair
and impartial trial, the prosecu-
ton presents the offense com
mitted to a jury, the law pro
hioits the Judge from charging
on the facts-thc law alone is
what he is >empowered to instruct
the jury in: the jurors are sworn
to render a verdict according TO
the law and evidence, they hap
pen to render a verdict contrary
to the conclusion the Judge has
reached, and he delivers, IN the
presence Of the other jurors, q !
reprimand, the jury drawn il
