4198. JURY (Trial by), Denied by parliament.—[continued].

The proposition[of Lord
North] is altogether unsatisfactory * * * because it does not propose to repeal the
several acts of Parliament * * * taking
from us the right of a trial by jury of the
vicinage, in cases affecting both life and property.—
Reply to Lord North's Proposition. Ford ed., i, 480.
