1821 Sept. 28

Two bodies of men, the functions of which are
altogether dissimilar, are in English Jurisprudence confounded
under the name of Jurors. These are 1. The Petty
Jury. 2d the Grand Jury.

The whole of the language on this subject is inappropriate
and delusive.

The Jury for decision – is the Quasi Jury. In contradistinct
it to the Grand Jury, this is the appellation
by which the Jury called the Petit Jury might be
designated.

The initiative Jury – or the Jury of initiation
this is the appellation by which to distinguish it from
the Jury called the Petty Jury, the Jury called the
Grand Jury might be designated.

Jury The term common to both is itself though not
misrepresentative, uncharacteristic and in so far inappropriate. A Juror is from the latin jurare, to take
or to swear, to be the principal in a hand the utterance of a formulary
on oath. A Juror is then a functionary on the occasion of his office by whom an Oath
has been – an Oath of Office. But this numerous are
the other offices in an which an Oath of
Office is taken, by the individual invested with the
Office. In this case are perhaps the greater number
of Offices.

The sort of Office designated by the appellation Juror
or Juryman though in some points accordant with, in
other points requires to be must necessarily be distinguished from and put
in contrast with the Office designated by the name of Judge.
But of the Juror as such ere he can act as such
must have taken an Oath of Office so must the Judge.
