A veiy limited luimhcr of men can lie compelled to serve, and thu service is so hiirdeiisouiu and disagree ilihs that clean men, and men who have other bikini's to perforin, avoid serving as ju rors by every possible means. Jtul tho trials of juroas are scarce ly less severe in many other cities. In olden itme ii was thought tint the vigil nice and judgment of jurors could best he secured by the absolute depriva tion of the comforts and even the necessities of life, and they were thus deprived of food,, drink, heat mid light.

A sui tor would not willingly trust his own decisslon in an important mutter when oppressed by head ache, nausea or indisposition mused by foul air.

It is not. sinpiising that jury duty is evaded and often en relesslv discharged.

' ' It was also' ' the practice" of the lawyers on the other side to ' 'interchange court esies by treating and drinking Willi some of the jurors." The prosecuting attorney was the most successful in his attention to the comforts of the jury , ond a vcr-j diet of guilty was rendered against ; the prisoner. A motion was made' to set this verdict ,'isidc, but the I supremo court refused on the ground that 4 ' the acts of drills- ingtludtne entertainments were all done in ihe recess or adjoin n- iiients of the court:" that it did not appear tlat the jurors and the counsel conversed about the case, ' ' and that ' 'acts of ordinary and neighborly kindness or of hospitality to jurors do not. justi fy an inference that the .ury was influenced by them in making up their verdict. !
