With breathless hush, With joy, after tripping it through or over the making breaking his way through those
thorns red-hot ploughshares, does he arrive at those good
properties offices of the conceit by the virtue of which we are
to be reconciled to it all its imperfections.

Nevertheless (continues he) the effects of the rule are
not so detrimental, as the rule itself is unreasonable: in
criminal prosecutions it operates considerably in favour
of the prisoner (as if in no instance of a
criminal prosecution a defendant failed of being standing in
finding himself the condition of a prisoner:) for if the a juror (continues
he) find it necessary to surrender to the obstinacy
of others, he will much more readily resign his opinion
on the side of mercy than of condemnation; in
civil suits it adds weight to the direction of the Judge;
for whom a conference with one another does not seem
likely to produce, in the jury, the agreement that is
necessary, they will naturally close their disputes
by a common submission to the opinion delivered from
the bench."
