Six,—The experience of all who are famiilar with Courts and their workings, shows that a person who is seeking only jus- tice never desires the intervention of a jury ;

but a jury is always the hope of the person ,

who desires to perpetuate an injustice, and that with the aid of a jury. There is always a chance, and often more than a chance, of making the judiciary sanction a wrong. There is no one familiar with the Courts and their workings who does not under- stand fully the great and usually controlling effect produced upon juries by certain ele- ments, if present. .Not unfrequently a woman or 4 child, being a party to a con- troversy, is the element which controls the action of a jury. An individua! and a Cor- poration being the parties to a suit, the in- dividual secures the verdict of the jury. The estate of a descendant, who has left considerable property and no wife or children, on the most meagre proofs will, by a jury, be held liable for any demand, however preposterows. A jury will nearly always find against the validity of a will, if its provisions do not have its approbation. ese are few of the many instances in which it is well known that the finding of a jury wul be controlled, to a greater degree, if not absolutely, by some matter which has not the remotest bearing on the merits of the controversy. The time occupied in a trial by jury, the long harangues on questions of evidence are all to be set down on the one side or the other, to the desire to get before the jury some evidence that is immaterial, but which will probably produce an effect on the finding; and not unfrequently an offer to introduce a particular piece of evidence, fone? rejected, produces the desired effect. In courts of equity all cases are tried by the court. without the, aid of ajury. The equity cases are those in which the largest interests are involved, the most complicated questions of fact determined,and the most in- tricate questions as to the rights of all parties having any interest in the subject-matter of the litigation are settled. Yet the want of & jury is never felt in these cases, and the parties to them are much better assured of a righteous result than the parties to suits at law, where a jury trial can be had. That trial by jury is utterly unfit for the purpose of ascertaining the truth, in all casea where

$9,000; the truth is not easily and readily to be

found, is a proposition warranted by the ex- perience of all who are familiar with tie working cf the system. And this result of experience is the one ordinary reasoning would reach, independent of experience. May we not conciude, then, that the trial by jury is worse than useless in cases where the facts are complicated and the truth can only be known after a careful and pains- taking examination? If, in such cases, the jury trial is not an aid, but a hindrance to the administration of justice, in what case can it bean aid? The trial by jury is not merely worthless, but it is very expensive. It would, perhaps, be a fair estimate to say thatat least one-half of the entire expense of the administration of justice would be saved by abolishing the trial by jury.

All that has been said of the trial by jury, im casés between individuals, is equai- ly true as applied to the trial of persons accused of crime. The criminal has an abiding faith in juries,—a faith which is well founded ; so well, that of the guilty who are accused of crimes, but an _ insigni- ficentfraction ereconvicted—rarely one who has the means to secure the full benefit of the protection to crime given by a jury trial.

lt may be asked, what should be sub- stituted for the jury? Nothing; wipe it out ; let every cause be tried by the judge, and, if there is an appeal from his finding, let the case, by the appellate court, be re- examined on the whole evidence, and the rights of the parties finally settled. This re-examination, when the whole: evidence is taken down by a short-hand writer—as it should be in all cases—would insure the judgment of the appellate court on the merits of the controversy, and end it, and would be a perfect protection against mistakes, bias, or prejudice on the part of the judge who first hears the case.

Yours, &c., JUSTICE.
