someone
will
say:
"There,
but
for
the
Grace
of
God,
go
I."
It
should
strengthen
your
confidence
in
the
administration
of
criminal
law,
having
witnessed
it
first-hand."
The
jurist
said
that
laymen
sometimes
were
critical
of
the
procedure
In
the
administration
of
justice,
but
he
hoped
"it
has
been
proven
here
that
there
is
a
great
deal
of
protection
for
the
accused
and
a
great
burden
on
the
crown
to
prove
his
guilt.
"These
principles
have
stood
the
test
of
many
centuries
and
we
should
be
well
proud
of
them."
50
WITNESSES
Along
with
the
jurors,
some
50
witnesses
had
been
subpoena
aed
to
give
evidence
in
the
various
cases.
The
court
house
for
the
past
week
or
so
was
a
busy
place,
the
scene
of
many
strange
faces
bearing
expressions
rang
"But
I
hope
you
will
have
the
compensating'
and
comforting
thought
that
you
have
performed
a
great
service,"
the
Jurist
told
the
group.
"The
duty
of
the
jurymen
in
a
trial
is
much
greater
than
that
of
the
presiding
Judge.
"To
serve
on
a
jury
is
a
great
privilege
of
a
citizen
in
a
free
country."
Mr.
Justice
Coady
called
attention
to
the
official
charge
to
the
jury
which
cites
the
panel
as
the
country
on
whom
the
accused
rests
his
fate.
He
said
that
"only
in
a
free
country"
did
man
have
such
an
opportunity
of
a
fair
trial
as
to
place
his
fate
in
the
hands
of
his
fellow-men.
DO
DUTY
FEARLESSLY
"Our
criminal
law
will
be
respected
as
long
as
jurymen
and
judges
do
their
duty
fearlessly.
