NGLISH RURAL JURIES.—If Hereford- shire juries can boast of stupidity, those of Worcestershire can show versality. At Wor- cestershire quarter sessions, on Tuesday last, e Joun Bently, a woodeutter, was indicted for Stealing the butts and tope of hop poles, which be had been empleo tocut. The de- fenee was that this timber was the perqui- site of the cutter. The jury found a verdict of “guilty,” with @ recommendation of mercy, on the ground that the prisoner be- lieved he had a right to use the surplus tim- ber. The chairman, Mr. Hastings, refused to accept this verdict, and explained tothe jury that if they were of the opinion that the pris- oner believed that the cuttings belonged to him by right, there was no bad animus, and they must aequit him. The jury, thus being recharged, reconsidered their verdict, and in less than @ minute came to the same as before, but without the recommendation of mercy. Accordingly, the accused was sen- tenced to three months’ imprisonmens.— Pal Mall Gazette. SALE OF AN OLD VIRGINIA ESTATE.— C. T.
