Constitutional Code
The exemption is not
In the case Of the proposed Quasi-Jury, the situation in
their particulars stands upon a footing altogether almost essentially compleatly different.
1. First as to the exemption which in the case of the Jury
the secrecy affords from the pressure of sinister influence.
But for this secrecy, in the case of a Jury the experience would must
inevitably take have place: and, to the in a party case, to the
displeasure of men on one side or other, no Jurymen whom
the whose part in the proceedings was known in a state of distinctness
from that of the rest, can ever fail to expose himself. The
reason cause of this is – that in every Jury's verdict of a Jury a part is necessa taken – taken
by the whole body on one side or another taking a part on one side or the other is matter of necessity. But by a Quasi
Juryman takes no such part is taken, unless he himself chooses
so to do. He may say anything or nothing according as he is inclined:
nobody can be angry with him for saying nothing:
for nobody can be assured that he was of his having been able to find anything
to say.
