We shall hear no capital convictions today
said a certain Judge once to Judge Karce - - How
so? — Why, yes sir that man there in the Jurybox. He has set his face against capital punishment.

a rule with him to acquitt and his determination
being known, the others acquiesce in it.
The prediction proved true: so long as that man
continued in the Jury box no capital conviction took
place. This was related by The relation st was given
by Judge Karce himself to a relation of <add>was my own</add>
no more, a man of law, a man on whom I could depend, who related it to me
.
In this individual, in two contrasting opposite points of view
and two incorrect
at the same time may be seen a picture of English justice.criminal A predilection
for capital punishment, coupled with a predilection
equally strong for judicial perjury. Instead
of doing away both abominations, both kept up, and
the one employed to combat and defeat the other.
