But the number of new trials thus applied for
will under this arrangement receive an indefinite increase:
and thus the burthen laid upon the lieges in
the chronicles of nature will be greater than the burthen
taken off from those in the chronicles of Jurymen
No: not it indeed. As is The Merely because the
number of the Jurors was this small, or the unsuccessful
party will not apply for a new trial, without an expectation
of receiving better success at the hands of a greater
number: with that expectation he he will set
down under the less, be the number of the first Jury
ever so great.
A new trial, will it be to be had to had for asking for, or
not but as in English practice upon allowance given by the permanent judge or judges the Court.
If not but upon without such allowance, the Judge mere consideration
of the smallness of the number in the first Jury,
does not view present very great probability of being
M predominant incidences in the mind of the Judge disposed the Judge
to destroy the effect of a verdict which he approves.
On this occasion, as on every other, let it never
pass unheeded, that of the great majority of the causes
that will be brought before a Jury, simple or if the Jury trial
has turns any such range as it has in England will be
of such sanite a nation that the complexion will be such that
if there were any doubt on the part of the unsuccessful party at the outset, there will at
any rate be none after the delivery of the evidence: and
to the extent of this proposition, the amount of the burthen
to Jurors will be all clear gain profit, without any loss
by imposed on suitors.
