AN IDOL IN COURT
Made to Serve the Ends of Justice
tn a Case In Japan.

OLD CRIMINAL LAW.
Whan Prisoner’s Counsel V/a, Not Al-
lowed to Address the Jury.
It seems hardly credible that less
than a century ago counsel were not
allowed to address a Jury lu defense
of a prisoner Sydney 8 ml lb first
preacln d against this cruel law.
He p-iiuted out that, while in any
court where property was concerned
counsel was heard oil bold sides, tn n
court wl-.ere human lite was trembling
in the balance only the prosecuting
counsel wus heard, .and It was iiutair
to match a prisoner, unaccustomed to
marshal facts and uuable to speak,
against skilled counsel, whose sole
purpose for its own reputation was to
win a case. Sydney Smith's eloquent
words led to the passing of the prls-
oner's defense act. 1820, which alter-
ed the practtce.
Another unjust practice w hlcb was
peculiar to the Old Bailey was that
when an accused person was acquit­

ey. So tunny unfortunate prisoners

caused an order of the court to be
made that when any accused persons
were acquitted by tbeir country they
should instantly be. discharged in
court without paying any fees what­
soever. nil order which has been strict­
ly adhered to ever since.
Of the challenging of jurors one re­
members a tale from Ireland. The
prisoner was hard to satisfy, and jury­
man after juryman was asked to leave
the box. However, all things come to
an end, even in Ireland, and at last
the swearing of the jury was complet­
ed. And then the prisoner leaned
over the dock and sought the ear of
his solicitor. “The jury’s all right
now, I think.” he whispered, “but ye
must challenge the judge. I’ve been
convicted under him slvlral times al­
ready, and maybe he’s beglnuln’ to
have a prejudice.”—London ChroDlcie.
One day a servant employed by the
proprietor of a big store near Japuu
bridge, lu Yeddo, wus sent with a heavy
pack of vuluable cotton goods on bis
