To the Editor* of the Jievieic—Siu*: — 1 see by your issue of Monday, in speaking of the ca.se of the Commonwealth vs. VANN and FKKGUSON, for burning the barn of GUY ' SMITH, you censure the jury because they found the defendants not guilty, but ordered them to pay the costs, and you then proceed to condemn such verdicts as being wholly ] wrong in principle. A few moments con sideration will show the folly of any such 1 conclusion. The legislature in its wisdom saw tit to confer this power upon juries, whenever in a misdemeanor the defendant is acquitted, costs can be put upon the prose cutor, the county or the defendant. In order to convict, the proof must eon\ inee beyond any reasonable doubt. Many eases are tried where the weight of testimony is against the defendant, and yet the jury in their mercy think there may be a reasonable, dovbt, while all of them have good reason to believe ■ him guilty. In such ease should the prosecu tor be visited with the costs, or the county? If the first, then any man would he deterred from prosecuting, unless he was assured he ; could prove guilt, without any knowledge of what might be sot up for a defense. This would, in effect, be a premium for crime, and if we take the second proposition as the rule in such case, the weight of taxes would soon be so enormous that property owners could I hardly bear the burden. On the whole, such a verdict as was rendered in the case mention ed, was, and is often a just one, and meets out to the parties substantial justice. Yours, &c., VLNDKX.
