1880. COURTS OF CHANCERY, Juries in.—[further continued].
In your new station
[Legislature of Va.] let me recommend to
you the jury system; as also the restoration of
juries in the Court of Chancery, which a
law not long since repealed, because “the trial
by jury is troublesome and expensive.” If
the reason be good, they should abolish it
at common law also.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iv, 307.
