· On more than one occasion-and probably without due thought having been bestowed upon |the position-tho-opinion has',buen expressed that it would be” as well to abolish the jury | system." It is but right to remark, anys the Evaning News that this has been said on rate occasions when the finding-or the expressed inability to arrive at a finding-has been in connection with some matter which has more than ordinarily stiered the public pulos. -Lông | experience shows that jurymen discharge their highly important duties with great painstaking, and with a duo appreciation of their re- sponsibilities. Also, it noi infrequently happens that: the business knowledge, and· general, shrewdness which jurors bring to bear on mat. fers forming the bases of law actions help in the eleasing up of tangled positions, or throw a light on spots which had previously remained un. noticed.. A care in point occurred a few wooks ogo doring the bearing of an important com. mercial cause. One of the jaian engaged on the caus asked a witness a question' which at first seither the judge nor counsel appreciated, Very sood, however, it was made apparent that the question was not only pertinent, but had at important bearing on the matter in dispate. This just shows,” remarked Mr. Justice Fring, a value of having juries." And he added, I hope the day is long distant when they will description done here, be abolished."
