Tho Judges are not preparcd to decido ucstion involving go large o Bum of monoy ng 250,000 iu“ withont consideration. Itisa estion of law, cortainly, but 8 tho moaning of this particular law seoms to bo so equivocal, erhaps the Court will giva heed a littlo o tho demands of publio poliy. In discussing tho mattor, counsel for tho Jurymen frecly alluded to tho oxposo made by this ‘jour- nal. Ho referred at zome longth to the chargos of extravagance ; nay, tho ruinons expendituro, involved by this [aw. ~ Ho did not attempt to combat tho facts and figures put forth by Tue TrinusE, bub contonted liinsolf with placing the blame on the shoulders of the County Com- missioners; he could not disputo tho very seri- ous statoments advanced in those columns, but be insistod that the Jaw was not roaponsiblo. Let us sco how the law works: 'The County Comimissfoners aro called upon to find 7,000 names per month for jurors to eorve in tho dif- feront courts. Thoy do eo. The baro names are handed to tho bailiff, without addressos. The bailitfs cannot find the partics, ond fail to gzoduce tho jurors.

Who is to blamo? Cortainly not the bailifts, whose first duty it s to find jurorss they have notbing to do with tho cost; nor hay tho Court.
