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.
