lly reference to the table of rates on tho first

Drs. McKclvy, Lvans, Cose and Mclteynolds.

Mr, Mellenry had upon his right arm an en-
eephaloid tumor, beginning about four inches
above tho elbow, extending upwards and Invol
ving the shoulder joint, and running back on
tlio shoulder-blade. The tumor weighed some
five pounds and was of seven months' growth.
It had become necessary to amputate the arm
at (he shoulder and to remove the soft tissues
under the joint. The "operation was success

Mr. Mellenry is an old resident of this coun

tho hour of adjournment, they wero granted
permission tu seal their verdict and bring it
into Court.on Thursday morning. This per
inlsslwii was granted with tho consent of
counsel for defendants.
lly order of Court, made several years
since, on tlio occasion of a similar trouble,
nojury is permitted to render a scaled ver
ellct except with consent of counsel and
bucIi consent is to bo considered a waiver of
tho right to poll the jury.
The jury having Informed the officer in
tvhos custody lliev were.that lliev bml iii'reril
on and hud sealed their verdict, wero per
mitted by him to separate nt about 11
o'clock.
On tho morning of Thursday, when tho

In in information ns to how the jury stood ;
and before the turn came into the box to delie-
cr their verdict the counsel for defendants
presented a written request to havo the jury
polled, and denied that bo had agreed to tho
sealing of the verdict.
Tho agreement of counsel not having
been noted of record, tho Court, with some
reluctance, oruereu tlio jury to be polled.
Therefore, the respondents dissented from
the sealed verdict.
The crime charged being a felony, nnd the
jury having been separated for a ntimberof
hours, this Dissent made it necessary lo un
charge tho jury and to hold the dei'endatits
to bail lor appearance and trial at tuo next
sessions.
And the whole circumstances of the case
wearing so grave an appearance of suspicion,
these rules were grunted on the iurors afore
said to show causo why they should not bo
punished lor contempt lor haviug nsscutcu
to a verdict in order to induce the officer to
allow them to separate, with intent alter
wards to dissent in Court, and thus thwart
tho duo course of justice.
Tiiev havo put in an answer, alleging that
after they had agreed to the sealed verdict
aim separated, they were unauio to sleep by
reason ol conscientious scruples ana regrets
atidltbatthey could only obtain relief of mind
by dissenting ; that the assent was honest at
the time, ami not a feigned agreement to ob
tain a discharge, and that they only subse
quently UissR'iteii impelled by a conscicn
tious conviction of duty after hours of re
llection. If this h so. the rules must bo dis
charged.
It a uirv declares themselves agreed when
they were not, in order to induce) tho officer
to permit them to separate, or if ono juror
should declare his assent, with intent after
wards of dissent in Court, this would bo a
great misdemeanor, and rentier the persons
liable to summary punishment." uuici
Justice Shaw, ot Massachusetts, lu Law
renco vs. Strauss, 11 Pick. p. 301.
That a juror might agree without duo re-
llection. and afterwards have a different view
of tho case, and might feel impelled by a
high sense of duty to change his verdict, is
true. And such a change from such a mo
tive, whilst it would arguo weakness iu as
senting, would descrvo commendation.
Hut in view of tho fact that a mistrial re
suits iu great expeiiso to the county, and to
the whom public who aro in attendance at
Court, and in great additional labor to the
Court and counsel, the contingency of a mis
taken assent and subsequent change of mind
is very much to be regretted.
If tho idea wero sulfered to prevail that
jurors are at liberty to agree in the jury-room
uuil alterwards to disseni;iu uourij.lhut this
is a right they have to exerciso at their dn
cretion, it would result in an enormous, ex
peusu to tho county, and iu a serious imped
iiiient to tho administration oi iiistice.
Tho respondent!, however, deny that they
were approached by any ono with the sug
gestion or solicitation that they should dis
sent in uourt.
And although it is clear from the aflida
vits of the ten remaining jurors, as well as
from tho answers of the respondents, that
they agreed voluntarily, and without being
forced into acquiescence by any Improper
means, and alter lull discussion and deliber
ation, extending from 3 o'clock to 11 o'clock
p. in., nevertheless under their affidavits
that they changed their minds after further
rellection from conscientious convictions ol
duty, there being no further proof to tho
contrary, the rules must be discharged.
The oath of iurors is to render a truo ver
diet according to tho evidence, uiiles tlny
aro discharged by the Court. They havo no
right to separate until they are fully agreed.
The law requires an unanimous verdict', 'And
iu order tu avoid intemperance anil causeless

"If a jury cat or drink at all, or have any
eatables about them, without consent of the
Court, and before verdict, it is finable."
lb.
Hut the modern practice is to allow tho
jury all theso articles, and to allow them
lurther to seal their verdict wnen tuev come
to an agreement during tho interval of
Court, and to separate and assemble when
the Court sits, to render tho verdict in open
Court. All this has grown up into practice
out of a spirit of leniency toward jurors, so
that they may endure no more discomfort
than is really necessary.
Hut tho l-.ngllsh practice ol taking a .jury
verdict (equivalent to our sealed verdict),
which had begun before lllackstono's time.
is characterized by him as a "dangerous
practice allowing time for parties to tamper
with tho jury, and tuereioro very seiaom ah
lowed." -ii Hlack. Com., p. 377.
And Huston, Justice, in Iluidekoper vs.
Cotton. 3 Watts, p, 39, speaks of the prac
tice of sealing verdicts as being Used in
some but not in other districts.
And it is said in 2 Watts' Pleas of tho
Crown, p. 300, that a jury verdict canuot be
taken in cases oi treason aim iciony.
Tho Court has power to allow a jury to
seal their verdict without consent of counsel.
Tho reason for asklug their consent is that
tho right to poll tho jury may bo waived.
Tho great expense and labor of second
trials can only bo certainly avoided by com
pelling jurors to remain together until their
verdict is taken with the consent of the de
fendant and with a waiver of tho right to
poll tho jury.
If. as alleged by counsel, a defendant can
not waive such right in a caso of felony,
then in such cases tho jury ought not to be
allowed In seal their verdict.
It i ordered that hereafert in cases of fel
onv.tho uureement of counsel to seal tho ver
dict shall bo in writing, and accompanied
with au express waiver of tho right to noil
tho jury, and that no sealed verdict shall be
permuted in a case oi leiony unices with
waiver and consent.
This may work hardship on subsequent
jurors, ivliich must bo charged up against
tho vacillation if llie-so respondents uud the
failure of the defendants' attorney to abide
by his agreement.
The opportunity ot tampering with a uror
Is very manifest. The ascertainment of tho
juror to whom ls to bo comcyed the Infor
mation that lie has a right to dissent from i
sealed verdict, seems to be practicable by
eavesdronnincr according lo the information
givru by the tipstaff in charge of this jury,
.
A singta wcak-inlndcel or corrupt Juryman
mny necessitate a second trial,
Tho contingency ought to bo guarded
against. If liicro Is no other way open lu
accomplish it, it must bo elono by refusing
to other jurymen tho privilege of sealing
verdicts,
