would you retrieve them? In Civil cases,
as often as it happens to you to be on a
Jury, and the value at Stake is such
as makes it worth your while, if on the
wrong side there is consciousness of
wrong, and the case next to a desperate
one, the more depraved the chacter of the
wrong doer, the more assured you will
be that an offer to share it with you will
not be refused.
In penal cases, keep
on the look out for the richest criminals -
Defendant, with another
man's money in your hands, look
well over the Jury list: observe whether
there be not this or that one of them,
whose surely effectual service may be
gained by appropriate liberality.
Murderer, Incendiary, go
through the whole list: if one experiment
fails, pass on to another: you have nothing
to lose by it: you have every thing
to gain by it.
