sworn according to the forms of their respective
religions, to decide upon the case according to
the evidence, and without partiality. The
Advocate Fiscal then opens the case for the
prosecution (through an interpreter if necessary)
to the Jury, and proceeds to call all the
Witnesses for the prosecution, whose evidence
is taken down (through an interpreter if necessary)
in the hearing of the Jury, by the Judge, the
Jury having a right to examine, and the
Prisoner to cross examine any of the above
Witnesses. When the case for the prosecution
is closed, the prisoner states what he has
to urge in his defence, and calls his Witnesses,
the Jury having a right to examine, and the
Prosecutor to cross examine them, their evidence
being taken down by the Judge. The Prosecutor
is seldom or ever, except in very particular
cases, allowed to reply, or call any Witnesses
in reply. The case for the prosecution and
for the prisoner being closed, the Judge
(through an interpreter when necessary)
recapitulates the evidence to the Jury from his
notes, adding such observations from himself
as may occur to him on the occasion. The
Jury, after deliberating upon the case, either
in the Jury-box, or, if they wish to retire,
in a room close to the Court, deliver their
verdict through their Foreman in open Court
