T. W. Erie, Aute in the Court of Common Pleas, and to whom the Attomey(Jeneral in introducing the Juries BiI 'ferrud as having cooperated with him in preariiig it, writes to us in defence of the proposed reduction, in general, of the. number of jurors, and the retention of the pre sent condition of unanimity in verdicts. Mr.

Erie saya May I be permittod to submit through The Timti some reasons for an opinion which, if erroneous, haj at least been amiouily conti lered Uiat the present number reqdired to constitute jury hi reduced With public advantage write without any knowlcug whatever ot the I rounds on which the Attorney General bases bis proposal. He nuv repudiate or disregard everv argument wh.ich has weighed with myself, and may put uis cxe tor trie reauciioiim (question on Kronnus which I may have overlooked or imperfectly esti mated. However that may injustice is surely done him by those who would Ascribe hu proposal to a mere uetiro lor change when a far more reasonable aid likely interpretation of hisi motives is suMiciently pbvioiu. His main purpose may be surmised to be that of giving some relief to the sec tion of the community which is called upon to supply jurors, the degree ot relief which would be given by a more ecouoiiitcal employment of jurv power is not quite, perhaps, autlicieiitly apprehended ting I me case ot Uon Jou and; JlUdlesei only, an assumiug that tlie period for which each juror will be summoned will be in the future one week, the annual saving eflected by accepting, say, eight jurors instead of 12 as the full complement of a jury would amount to this nahielr, that about 3.500 tU2ii, most of them merchants or shopkeepers, would be spared Iron attending ia week apiece at some Metropolitan Court, Now1 at the Criminal Courts the jurors get nothing for their puns or loss of time. The conditions of service are less unfavourable at the Civil Courts since there the jurors get some, though inadequate, remuneration.

But in; the Civil Courts the suitorsjiave to pay the jurors and since the pockets of litigants are quite suttidently depleted by law costs of other kimtj, it is the. interest of the contending parties iu each case that the issue which is at stake should be decided by as small a number of jurors as may be considered to form a satisfactory tribunal. If it were to be asked why eight is suggested as a quorum for the jury, my reply would be that if as luany as eiht men of fair average intelligence, and bound by oath to careful and conscientious delibera tion, were unanimously to a.rea in one view of facts. the. value of which in detail had been appraised for them by a Judge, and examined and commentd.on by counsel in every such a concurrence would, to my war of thinkini'.

establish that the conclusion arrived at might, for every practical purpose whatever, be accepted a3 certainly true. "The allegation that the wisdom of our ancestors selected 12 as the proper number of a jury may be de murred to as beingoueof those incomplete statements which have a tendency to misread, since a jury, not only in the early days of the institution, but for several centuries afterwards, was a tribunalof a character materially different from that which now belongs to. iu 11 may oe useiui 10 reminu tnose wno are not conversant with the subject that the jurors were formerly the only witnes tcs in every and that each of them was advisedly selected and summoned as having a personal knowledge of the facts in dispute. They were indeed, bound, if not thorouzhly acquainted with the circumstances bearing on the. a A a 'll point ac to lniorin tnemseives inuy 01 in so before coming to the Court, and were subject to fiunishment if they omitted this duty.

Juries, in act, were, as has been said, committees of witnesses but this description of their oflice seems to be too li mite 1, since they; appear to have discharged soma other functions which now beloug to the Judges, aud constituted in themselves the Court, or at any rate 4 part of it, it owadays they inform the Court, but are no part of it. It was tit that a body of men choseu, in effect, to represent the public opinion of the neighbourhood where the events which were the subject of iniry had occurred should possess a certain degree of numerical strength for the purpose of giving weight to, and conciliating acceptance for, their decisions and other acts. After a time the inspection by the jurors of documents bearing on the is3ue came to be and this practice eventually led to the admission of oral evidence and to an essential chango iu the nature of the duties of jurors. Although, the ottice of juries thus assumed, about the reign of Edward of Mary, both in theory and practice, a very different character from that which had originally belonged to it, the accustomed number ol 12 was allowed to remain unaltered, by reason, probably. that the course of clutigj had been so gradual as to have attracted no special notice at any particular moment, and because, also, when the institution finally settled into its existing form, time was uot of the high pecuniary value which it has since ac quired under tho increased comjnercial activity of the country.

It may be added that trials at Ju Prius were formerly neither lengthy nor numerous enough to create the onerous requisitions which have now to be made upon merchants and othera for frequent and protracted servico in the jarv box. The number, theroforo.of 12, required to constitute a modern panel, brought together for tho discharge of the comparatively limited office which is assigned to juries 111 these times, wa3, in fact, lighted upon by accideut, and uot determined either as a result of consideration or by any principle which is necessarily applicable to the circumstances of the present day. It has thus no sort! of allowable claim to the superstitious revcreuco with which it is regarded. Other considerations might be adverted to in support of the proposition that so job smaller number than Vi jurors might be trusted to do the wort of a modern jury in a satisfactory manner. For example, the duties of juries nowaday are not only less re sponsible in kind, but are discharged with a variety of advantages which juries of former times did not enjoy.

Every improvement in the law of evidence which has been made has been a source of aid to juries. Compare, for example, with the existing law that which prevailed about 20 years ao, which excluded from the witness box the plaintiff" and defendant in the cause that is to say, the very people who generally knew most about the matter in dispute, and who frequently were the only. persons who could give any il information about it. The road to truth was not made plain for juries when it had to be pursued under! arrangements calculated to make it as dark as ingenuity could contrive. Tho speeches of counsel are also useful, as; suggesting every aspect in which the facts can be viewed.

In particular, it will bo remembered tljat speeches of counsel ill defence of prisoners have only been recently, comparatively speaking, permitted. Above all, there is the invaluable assistance of the summing up of the Judge. Juries, also, are 119 longer exposed to the disgraceful coercion, frequently accompanied by fine or imprisonment, by which verdicts were in former times extorted from them in favour of the prosecution. The records of the State Trials show how difficult it must often have been for juries to I10I1L their own against the violence of the Bench. InOnr Nicholas Throckmorton's case, for example, which" was tried in 1551, the jury, on finding a verdict of acquittal, were sent to Four of the number were soon afterwards discharged on humbly admitting' that they had done wrong, but the remaining eight were brought ibefore the Star Chamber, and most severely dealt with.

Three were adjudged to pay each, and the rest 200 If the difference in the present value of money from that which it possessed SOO years ago be taken into account, these fines will be seen to be enormously heavy. In those days, therefore, it may have been expedient that juries should possess some large degree of numerical strength, as the jurors may thence have derived socio mutual encouragement and self confidence iu the formidable task of asserting aud maintaining their own independence. "The proposal of the Bill, it should be remembered, is not simply the mere reduction of the number, of the jury, but that common juries shall be strengthened by arrangements securing that some definite proportion of those who constitute such juries shall be taken from the special jurors' panel. In many instances, to say the least, the diminished Juautity of jury power would be amply compensated or by the improvement effected in iU quality if two of the eight were men of a higher class, and therefore probably of quicker intelligence than average common jurors. This would Surely be the case in agricultural counties, where common juries are often entirely composed of the roughest possible materials.

I was impressed by "hearing a trial at the Cambridge Assizes in which an Artful and accomplished criminal (for he had been known as such even ill my undergraduate days, some years before) was prosecuted for a heinous crime of such a nature as to be necessarily most difficult of proof in any caae, but especially when committed br a wary old 1 practitioner. The jury was composed of small 1 farmers from the Fens, of a very rustic and nncnlti vated order, who apeared to rue to be unable to follow the course of proof with any real apprehen sion ut its iara or purpose, in ces like this, and in many others which came under my observation in various parts of England, the assistance of a cei tain number of special jurors who would have been able to help their fellows would have conduced to the interest of justice, and would have been. I am sure, welcome to the common jurors, who must have tel. a disquieting consciousness of being set upon a duty which they were unnt, without such aid, to discharge. "The question whether a jury, in consequence of its consisting of the particular numcer.of 11: persons.

possetses some magical virtue of infallibility which could not possibly to any smtller tribunal of the same kind is not raised for the hrst time by the Juries BUI. The Select Committee of the House of Commons, of which Lord Eniel I was the Chairman, commended the, question of the reduction of the number of the jury to the attention of Parliament as bemz 'well worthy of consideration. It mar fairly be contended that the trial of civil causes by juries of various numbers less than 12, so far from being as yet unknown, was for many years a matter of daily occurrence, and excited no complaint or dissatisfaction, or before the year I9i0, when a new system of sammouin was introduced, the full complement of 12 special jurors could not be obtained in more than one fourth of the cases which were tried br juries of that class. In the other three fourths (with a few exceptions not worth mentioning) the parties either areed, which was constantly done, to try by such special jurors" as answers I to their names, or else the full number was made lip by obtaining the necessary supplement from the common jury panel. But.

I believe, and if 1 am wrong my belief is, at least, the result of a careful observation made through nine or ten years. that in a considerable proportion of the cases in which a 'tales' was prayed, the real reason for doing so (indeed, this was often expressed to me) was a good natured feeling on the part of counsel that the common jurors; who were waiting on the chance of a windfall ouht to get their It was considered that the common jurors whose term of service extended over five, weeks, and who were paid nothing for their attendance when not in the box. and, when doing actual duty, only Is. at Westmin ster and od. at uuildhall for each cause tried, were hardly used.

he question whether unanimity in verdicts should be required is in some degree connected with that of the. reduction of the number of tho jury. Iu my own opinion, but I express it with a sincere readiness and anxiety to corrected on this or on any other point ou which my judgment may be at fault, the section of the Juries Bill which provides that an unanimous verdict shall in all cases be required' should be retained. The argument in favour of requiring unanimity given in the secoud Report of the Common Law Commissioners, pub lished in 1859, and which can be easily obtained by any one who takes an interest iu the matter, seems to be convincing. If the instances in which a trial is brought to an impotent conclusion by the inability of the jury to agree in a verdict were numerous, or it unanimity were commonly ob tained by dint of subjecting juries to intolerable discomfort that is to say, by locking them up till the weaker bodies, and not the weak heads, were obliged to give in a case would, no doubt, be made out in favour of some change, out coercion of this kind is never now applied to juries, at.

any rate in the Civil Courts. Yet in tho Courts the number of instances in which juries are discharged without a verdict, as being unable to agree, is quite insignificant, amounting to not more than if per cent, of the whole number of trial Now there is at least I should so consider quite as large a proportion of cases as this in which the discharge of the jury without a verdict is the least unsatisfactory result to which the trial can be brought, the evidence being either too insulh'cient, or too conflicting, to supply any adequate means of forming a confident judgment. In cases, also, where neither party seems worthy of credit, there is, in truth, no base on which, to found a decision, and a rebuff to both sides in the form of an intimation that soiue" of the jury disbelieve each of them is tho only ap propriate end to the tnal. 1 tail to see, therefore as at present advised, any cogent reason for pensing with unanimitv, even if the number 1" be retained. The preponderance of public opinion, however, may possibly be in favour of makiug tiio verdict of a majority receivable, because last year when the introduction of the Juries Bill gave oc casion for comments by the Press on tho subject.

the view that it would tie advisable to dispense with unanimity seemed to bo that which was most generally entertained. Som I believe, of the writers who took this view have expressed themselves as opposed to any reduction of the nnmber of the jury But surely the unanimous verdict of a jury of eight would carry more weight than tho verdict of a majority of 12 say eight, to four which the defeated party would not readily accept as morally conclusive against him. I am prepared to give reasons for the opinion, which I cannot doubt must ultimately prevail when the matter is more fully understood, that the quality of common juries should be fixed at some definite standard that is to aay, that instead of tha present system undor which common juries are made up, as chance may direct, either entirely of common jurors, or entirely of special jurors, or of the two classes iniu.Iod in any accidental proportions, the principle advanced by the uries Bill, as originally introduced, should be carried into effect namely, that in every common jury each class of jurors should be represented by some determinate number; Xo, a suitor who believed his cause to be good would, I should prefer to submit it to a jury constituted as just described, and therefore "po sedjing some atsurod degree of capacity, rather than to a jury of 12 impanelled nnder the existing haphazard system, and srho, therefore, as is more likely than hot, would be all of tho lower class only. However that may be, a defeated suitor would surely accept his position with readier acquiescence if hawere to be placed there by the unanimous verdict of a jury of eight comprising a number of special jurors, than if the adverse conclusion were that of a majority in 12, which 12 he might know, or might rightly or wrongly suppose, to have contained some number or other of special jurors who were ail in his favour. 'Although the interest of justice would, as it is submitted, be as well served by a jury of eight a3 by one of 12, the larger number might with perfect consistency be employed for trials on capital charges.

For since in these cisos a verdict of guilty is almost immediately followed by conseqnences whiter are utterly irretrievable, notwithstanding anything which may afterwards transpire, the responsibility imposed on the jury is necessarily more extreme than in any other trials. For the purpose, therefore, of alleviating in some degree, if it be possible, the burden of a most anxious duty Im greater subdivision, a larger panel might be used for trying iudictmejits for murder. It has been well observed that service in the jury box! is a valuable instrument of popular education. So true is this that it has always appeare to me that the exemption of ministers of all religious denominations from service is a disadvantage to them which conceals itself nnder the disguise of a privilege, the knowledge and experience of many kinds which the' clergy would gain by occasional visits to the Courts of Law being sueh.as would be more peculiarly valuable to them than to any other class or profession. But those who at this particular moment eularge on the virtues of the jury box as a schoolmaster, with the viewtpppoTelhat the more constantly people are brought within the range of its teaching the better for themselves, stretch the principle to an undue extreme.

If not only such a number of people as is actually mi aire but as many more as occupation can be found or manufactured for, are brought 'to the Courts, xm the principle that it is for the sake of their improvement that they are so brought, the consequence of this system will be that busy merchants, on finding that the attentions to them of the summoning officers are inordinately assiduous and unremitting, may be induced to think that' their education is being' a little overdone. "I am presumptuous enough to venture to question whether what is called the feeling of Westminster which is alleged' to be against any reduction of the, number of the jury, ought, even assuming it to bo something more than a sort of vague sentiment, to tell with any overwhelming weight against the proposed change until the matter has been more attentively considered, for my own personal experience taught me that a man. might ba for some few years a barrister, and afterwards a special juror, without becoming qualified to offer a weU instriicted and carefully formed opinion ou tho matters now under discussion. It would be, at any rate, unsatisfactory to the public at lazse tha of the werburdened jurors were.to diefdsd taI I a by the feHing, however stron? ft the members of tlie Bar, who, as beirv. all titZ.

from service as juror have no actual experience, of the inconvenience and downright less wSJsisjii! service entails. The arguments used agii measure which is desirned to mitigate the s.tri" of the coirmtion for the jury box xl weizhed in different scales by a leader a wJf minster Hall and by a trader or pwfessioni ffiVT to whom the receipt of a raissive from the iuauo! ing orh'cer means a distinct sum out of pocket. It has been imput fbtit scarcely, Ithuik hi lis spirit which should belong to calm chscusk, those who advocate the reduction of the number 0f the jury; that their proposal is intended as the Cnt step towards procuringthe abolition of trial by inrV To judge of others by myself, 1 should ay that aUegation is precisely opposite to the truth, 3 that the object of those who think with me iseVa. tially conservative. Loo and most cartful oUtr vation has impressed me "with the conviction tL i the verdicts of juries are even more invariably n-than is i commonly supposed, And that the tribunal cannotiossibly be overrated.
