nol tkees the latter waiting about the premises for hours and days when they might just as well be attending to their own business. Those whose mervices are utilised are herded into a confortless pen like castle at a market, and condemned to sit, sometimes for several; das in succession, in a condition of bodily suffering. A said on a previous occasion, "if they are unscrupulous mep they will, on the conclusion of the case, at once secure their swn liberation by agreeing to anything that they can agree to in the shape of a verdict."

This is strong, but not a whit too strong. The pity of it is that nobody in authority seems inclined to set to work, and it would nat be a hard task to remedy the grievances and abases of the jury system. The late Lord Coleridge brought in a Bill for the purpose in 1873, but it was eventually withdrawn, That Bill provided, amongst other things, that the jury lists after being prepared should be revised: by justices in open court; and that the sheriff should summon jurors on the list in alphabetical order, with duc notice, bý post. Jurymen not immediately required were, ta he released as early as possible, and jury-rea serving weretobe [ supplied with fire and refreshment during their deliberations. It also considered the question of proper remuneration for a juryman's services. There were some excellent points about that Bill, and it is a pity that it failed. One on simi. lar lines, or even more extended ones, would be very welcome now, and the gratitude of the public would be warmly shown to the Minister introducing it.
