Charles Rus sell uaed to say, 'or Instance, that there was all the difference in the world between knglish and Irlr-h Juries remarks the Manchester (Eng.) Uuardltiu. Irisb juries enjoyed the fun and the drama of a trial; they entered Into It all and appreciated the cut and thrust; whereas Kngllnh Juries were concerned more with won dering bow soon they would be re leased. Hut there is a characteristic com mon to ull Juries, 'ihey have quite as much Imliieuce, though In a different way, over counsel aa counsel have over tlittn. One of the greatest of advocates, Scarlett, Lord Ablngvr, de- clurud that his micceas wus due chlelly to the rule lie luuile of selecting one particular Jur.iinuii, not necessarily the foreman, and addressing the argument as if to li i nt peroually. He would then work awuy till lie felt that he bad convinced this man und could re ly on hlin when the verdict was being onsldeied. African Seeds.
