money, as the judge who tries the issue shall think just and reasonable, and which shall not exceed the sum of 17. 1s., except in causes wherein a view is directed, and shall have been had by such juror." In 7.8 Will. III., (1 Salk. 405), a rule was made, that when the master is to strike a jury, viz. forty-eight out of the freeholders' book, he shall give notice to the attornies on both sides to be present; and if the one comes and the other does not, he that appears shall, according o the ancient course, strike out twelve, and the master shall strike out other twelve for him that is absent. But if, by rule of Court, the master is ordered to strike a jury, in case t be not expressed in such rule that the master shall strike forty-eight, and each of the parties shall strike out twelve, the master is to strike wenty-four, and the parties have no liberty to strike out any. (Anon., Salk. 405; M. 8 Will, III.) 4. Juries on trials of aliens, &c. cial jury. In striking a special jury, the coroner is not bound to take the jurors Striking the spes they occur upon the sheriff's book, but is to make a selection: and here he had made such selection impartially, the Court refused to ancel the list of persons so selected. (Rex v. Wooler, 1 B. & Ald. 193). If, after a special jury has been struck, the trial goes off for want of rors, no new jury can be struck, but the issue must be ultimately tried y the jury who were first appointed, or as many of them as may apear, with the addition of talesmen; (R. v. Perry, 5 T. R. 453); no ew venire issues, but an alias distringas, and upon that the continuance 3 entered. (R. v. Perry, 5 T. R. 457). Where, upon the trial of an information for a libel, only ten special rymen appeared, and two talesmen were sworn on the jury, it was eld no ground for a new trial that the two of the non-attending special rymen named in the panel had not been summoned, though this fact as not known to the defendant until after he had been tried. (R. v. unt, 4 B. & Ald. 430). If a rule be made for a special jury, and the parties proceed to trial fore a common jury, the verdict cannot afterwards be impeached, for e defendant must either make challenge to the array, or let judgment by default. (R. v. Perry, 5 T. R. 456). Where a defendant has been indicted for a libel by a certain associan, but has not pleaded to the indictment, and under these circumnces applies for a rule calling on the solicitors for the association to nish him with a list of the persons so associated, in order to set them de at the reduction of the special jury list, the Court will refuse the tion as premature. (Reg. v. Richardson, 4 Jur. 319). The Court will not compel the prosecutors to give a list of their names the defendant previous to striking a special jury, but will give such rections, by consent of the prosecutors, as shall prevent prejudice acaing to the defendant in consequence of such list not being furnished. leg. v. Nicholson, 8 C. & P. 422). By 6 Geo. IV. c. 50, s. 36, the mode of striking special jurors in any unty of city or town, except in London, is to remain as before. IV. Juries on Trials of Aliens, &c. Aliens and denizens are entitled to demand a jury de medietate Juries de medie nguæ. By the 6 Geo. IV. c. 50, s. 47, "Nothing herein contained shall exend, or be construed to extend, to deprive any alien indicted or imeached of any felony or misdemeanour, of the right of being tried by jury de medietate lingue, but that, on the prayer of every alien so ndicted or impeached, the sheriff or other proper minister shall, by command of the Court, return for one-half of the jury a competent umber of aliens, if so many there be in the town or place where the trial is had, and, if not, then so many aliens as shall be found in the tate. 6. Lists of jurors. In the torn. In the leet. On the coroner's inquest. On other jurors On inquiries of riots. De ventre inspiciendo, same town or place, if any; and that no such alien juror shall be to be challenged for want of freehold or of any other qualificati quired by this act; but every such alien may be challenged fo other cause, in like manner as if he were qualified by this act." ( Chit. C. L. 525-6). V. Other Juries. By stat. 1 Rich. III. c. 4, in the torn, jurors shall have 203.1 freehold; or 26s. 8d. copyhold. In the leet, it is said by some books, that any person happening present at a court-leet, or to be riding by the place where it is h may, for the want of jurors, be compelled by the steward to be whether he be resident within the precinct of the leet or not; by it seems to be implied, that any person whatsoever is capable of put upon the jury in a court-leet. (2 Hawk. c. 10, s. 68).* The coroner's jury, upon inquest taken before him, are to be neighbouring towns; but no qualification by estate is required t statute. (2 Hale, 152. See tit. "Coroner," Vol. II.) By stat. 3 Hen. VII. c. 1, jurors to inquire of the concealme other inquests, shall have lands of 40s. a-year. By stat. 8 Hen. VI. c. 9, jurors to inquire of forcible entry orde shall have lands or tenements of 40s. a-year. By stat. 19 Hen. VII. c. 13, jurors to inquire of riots shal a-year, charter land or freehold; or 26s. 8d. copyhold. Upon the writ de ventre inspiciendo the jury ought to be d (Tri. per Pais, 86; see R. v. Wycherley, 8 Car. & P. 262). Clerk of the peace to the high constables in July. VI. Lists of Jurors. By the 6 Geo.
