Jury could have done. The Defendants strengly objected to a

trial with an assessor and the reason is clear With an

assessor the amount awarded would probably be about right, with

Jury it might have been anything and the Defendants did not

desire to have to pay what they really swed, they preferred

the even chance of a verdict for a much smaller ameunt.

In England the Law, which we have now in

Hongkong, works well and there is no demand for any extension

of the right to trial by Jury, such agitation, as there has been

against the law, has been rather in the direction of further

restricting the right than of enlarging it, to put in force

the finding of the Commissieners of 1850 and to give Judges

power to prevent trial by Jury in Comrien Law cases, where a

Jury is obviously a hindrance rather than an aid to the trial of thefaction. To justify an alteration of our law in the

direction proposed, 'a streng case showing that the advantages

outweigh the obvious objections ought to be made, hut so far as

I am aware ne xxxx reason which would bear public examination,

has as yet been advanced.
