This Jurymen

Any Jurymen, when they do appr enter the Jury box,
come there for use, not for mere show: Endowed with human reason, they are designed to exercise it, they are neither painted
men figure on a flat board to make a figure with, nor puppets
waiting for learned hands to pick the wires.

In English practice, among the causes which are set down
as to be tried and as actually tried by Juries, what (might it not be matter of curiosity at least to know, my Lord?) is the proportional
number, of those to which the mine of no one individual in the
Jury-box is so much as permitted to apply itself? the decision
like the antecedent procedure, the decision is let fall chops itself down, upon
some mechanical principle, with some a lawyer's lie some customary lie under
the name of fiction, for a premium mobile: a Juror is withdraw,
or the plaintiff is called, or the verdict a verdict which nobody has given is taken
taking upon this or that one of half a dozen or more counts, all of
one of perhaps a lie of the plaintiffs, all of them to a certainty
lawyers lies but that one. The Jury-box slaves Juryman slave, wondering
there should be so much learning in the world, proud to think
how man's fate is fixed by them without the trouble of a sure thought assured any satisfied
that everything must be right, because they present nothing about the .
The student swells with conscious pride, panting for the day when he too
is to have a hand in the conduct of so exquisite a piece of mechanisms:
wondering how society can be kept together, in countries where whose
hard lot has bereft them of so unspeakable a benefit it is unknown: believing that the of ju that justice is founded seated upon his believing and with from
a faith as ever Platonist believed with, that the world was is founded upon
numbers.
