JURY AMENDMENT. 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. In fact not! ing could indece the people of New Brunswick to goback to the eld number; and it is : . tet) oe Ati} is sery vrobuble that in this Province the | same.resaits will foliow At praseant the cost of jurymen is very great.

The Atlas being ready for de- llivery, he was engaged on the delivery staff, | jas above, but, by mutual agreement, was a‘terwards transferred to ths Charlottetown oftics ; and, after having entered on his duties there, he was summarily dismissed without warning or cause, and fer this 4 wrong, he brough it his a ction of damages} ae i for a wrongful dismissal.
