5.
In the course of the eliminative process,
one circumstance there is, the aptitude
of which to constitute an efficient cause of
title to exemption, seems incontestable, but
which lies exposed, in no slight degree, to the
difficulty and objection of which so much
has been said. This is the case of those in
whose instance indigence is at such a pitch,
as that if admitted into the judicatory, their preference
might be productive of annoyance, obstructive
in a serious degree of the course of the business.
Of this difficulty no solution will be afforded
by the observation in your possibly attending
class, no individuals can have place,
but such as are in possession of the art of reading;
and with the possession of that art, indigence
such as that in question can not with propriety
be regarded as compatible. To this, there are
two answers. In the first place, introduction of
the Quasi Jury System may be possible and
thence necessary, before the time when the art
of reading has made any progress so extensive
as to afford a sufficient number of jurors after
the eliminations that are indispensable, have
been performed: on this supposition, some qualification
other than the possession of this art,
may be of necessity to be appointed.
☞ Quere. As to the propriety of this answer.
