ten. Mr. Suurivan moved the order of} the day for the second reading of the bill entitled ‘ The Petite Jury Amendment Act, 1880." fie said: It is not necessary to say mucin addition to what [ stated yesterday regarding the objects of this Bill. Ti 18 invent ed Lo reduce the jur y oo v2) se] in civil cases from twelve to seven persons. | This Legis! ence cannot inte rfere ae I constitution of the Grand Jury or with the constitution of the Petit Jury so far as eriminal cases are concerned. But it can change the niin Ber of Petit Jurers for the trial of civil suits. The changes centem- pla tod by ‘he Bill cannot, I think, do any possi ble inj jury to the canse of justice and they will involve a material saving of public morey. In New Brunswick, for the past twenl y years, civil suits have be en de- cided upot, by juries composed of seven msn ; and L has been found that there, the seven ive as much o¢ more satisfaction aud are reyardod as being as capable cr even | more capa ie of deing justice in the pre- mises th ui: the twelve.
