§. 5. Arrangements respecting form.
Ch. Remedies requisite
Ch. proposed for restoring the constitution Under this head, the operation which requires to be done performed may be comprized expressed
in a few words. Being requisite in relation to this part of
the field of law in regard to Juries it the mention of it could not be omitted on
the occasion of an enquiry having for its subject this part of the
field of law. But the d in relation to this part of the field the
demand for is not more urgent nor the propriety of them
more indispensable than in
relation to every other part
of the same field.
1. The same relation to Juries to be consolidated into one
Act: the existing Acts the chaos composed of the existing
Acts to be of course repealed.
1. Consolidate into one Act, the all laws relating to Juries.
Repeal all together the existing chaos.
On this subject place the whole of the rule of action
to be placed the
whole of it 2. Place the whole, (as it might be to be on all other subjects) on the
footing of statute law: whatever is approved of in the practice
of the Courts to be engrossed into it: whatever is not approved
of abrogated: the Courts forbidden to make any the least alteration
except in virtue of such powers, if any, as shall
have been given in the Act for that purpose have been
given in the Act.
3. Fundamental principle and paramount principle or object of the law on this behalf –
rendering it so impracticable as may be to either for
any officer of the Crown or of any of the Courts of justice to secure
the attendance of any person in the character of Juryman
Common or Special or for any individual in the
character of suitor or from one connected by interest or sympathy
with a suitor to foresee foreshadow, for any length of time
sufficient to give access to corruption, to foreknow concerning
any person that he will be upon the Jury in
this or that cause.
4. Secondary principle or object subordinate to the
other – reducing in so far as may be consistent with the
other reducing to its least dimensions, the quantity of vexation
and expence attached to the obligation of service in
the capacity of Juryman, common and special included.
