JURY TRIALS ES THE CITY OF LONDON... The reputation of jury trials in the City of London's departing. The tial of cases by special jury nt Guildbull has hitherto been re garded as trial by merchants of the City of Loudon, Such a tribunal is exceptionally valuable, the Zaw Thies says, in a cuttmorcial country. Ovine, now, to the operation of our jury law, and the manner in which it is worked, it appeurs that those who were formerly ant moned to serve on special juries are frequently drafted into commion juries, and vice-sem. · Ás a result, cases of marine inéarance and the like are tried by Boensed victualleys, and others of that clase, who bring no special knowledge to bar upon the question submitted to them. This resetation was made in the Court of Goni - on Pleas a few days ago, in a ouse in which Mr. Justice Brott directed a lot of ordinary trades-poople that a ship was not unseaworthy if she asited with a dangerous deck cargo, such cargo being of nature which could be exaily got rid of Under suoi cironmstances, it je not singular that the cams found its way into bans. The question of the jury, however, is the only one with which we air now concerned, and it portainly behovpa the City mathorities to sca that their courls are served by jurymen of a class quidified to sustain their bigh sad volna. --ble reputation.
