It was held quer Division, L.R. 79 and Fo, that even when a party in a salt had obtained the verdict of a jury in his favour, he could not have his costs paid if it was shown that he had committed misconduct in the case or that the proceedings were caused by his own action. In this case there was so much reasonable cause that, if the Government had taken no action on the known facts it would have amounted to culpable neglect of duty. If there ever was a case in which the community should not be taxed with costs, it was - this case. It would not do to say anything against the jury verdict, of course, but it must be ald that the Government or anybody else could not

The Crown could not apply for a new trial, because it had been ruled by the Courts that where a jury, in a criminal or quast-criminal case, found what amounted to a verdict of acquittal, a new trial should not be granted. The question of costs depended partly on the reasons for the judgment, but in this case the jury men could not be called on to give their reasons by affidavit, and therefore it was only possible to conjecture their probable sexsous. It could hardly be assumed that they based their decision on the fact that the Government had proceed.d under section 84 Instead of 5y of the Ordinance, for If they had done so it would have to the charterer, who was really the only person Implicated in this case.
