31. On the trial of any civil or criminal case, either party, or the prosecutor or person accused shall be at liberty to apply to the court for an order for the inspection, by the jury, of any property the inspection of which may be material to the proper determination of the proceedings in question, and the court may make such order, on such terms as to adjournment, costs, and otherwise, as the court may direct.

Jury in lunacy cases.
Declaration by non-Christian.
33. In any inquiry into the idiocy, lunacy, or unsoundness of mind of any person, any issue determinable by the verdict of a jury shall be tried like an ordinary issue in the court by a common or special jury as the judge may direct. Provided that the alleged idiot, lunatic, or person of unsound mind shall have a special jury as of right.
34. Every person, not being a Christian, who may be summoned to serve as a juror in any case, may, in lieu of the oath now required to be taken, make the following declaration:
I, A.B., do solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare that I will hearken to the evidence, and a true verdict give, to the best of my skill and knowledge, without fear, favour, or affection.
35. In cases not provided for by this Ordinance, the law in force in England relating to jurors and juries shall, in so far as the same does not conflict with the provisions of this Ordinance, have force and effect within the Colony; but nothing in this section shall be deemed to relate to jurors or juries on death inquiries.
