1. 6 Disadvantage - Burthensomeness to the Jurors of the
institution to the persons obliged to serve as Jurors
When the extent to in which this deg inconvenience
of in respect of the number of persons that would be subjected to the <add>burthen burthened is
considered, this in Scotland a country to which
the burthen is new will be found of itself so great, that
the body of advantage can not in any other shapes must be great indeed,
to to afford an adequate compensation for it outweigh it.
In England, in causes of the very highest importance
class, and distinguished from the common run others by no
circumstance more obvious or incontestable than that
of general superiority of importance, a single Judge
is found, is at least deemed, sufficient.
It is of the essence of Jury trial to set employ a multitude
of Judges to do the work of one: and that
is work which whether better or , may at any rate
be done quicker by the one than it can be done by
the multitude.
Without being in reality [of the essence] it is regarded in England through
the influence of prejudice and superstition regarded
as being of the essence of the institution, that the number
of Judges is not to do the work of one should be
13: and pick as the number which as if is ever as
just as that of the months in the year seems to be
designed for Scotland.
