The number ordinary number, twelve, though
sometimes dwelt upon with emphasis, will hardly at this time of day be seriously insisted on as an
important circumstance: though men of more erudition
than discernment, whom upon
observing a class
of promanent Judges got together any where to
the number of twelve, have cried, hy, there is
a Jury. Yet I have taken twelve for the number
of my Jurors, because in as far as the
utility of any institution depends upon prejudice less a man
the more obsequious the conformity shewn to it
in points of indifference the better to be the rest
this number though the its ordinary is not an
invariable concomitant: Could each Instance might be listed of
fifteen twenty four and twenty six and I believe eight Jury men and perhaps other numbers, if it
were worth the while. What is called the Grand
Jury exists in any number between twelve and
twenty four.
