To secure a substantia! cc.ortu jury took tbe offi¬ cer some hours, but he succeeded fi¬ nally in getting together a half doz¬ en ebon-hued gentlemen, satisfactory alike to the County Attorney and the defendant. They were a lot of houest-Iooking oid dar¬ kies, each c f whom looked like church d< and seemed fully wi.n .he proper dignity a juror and tbe importance rf the he was called upon for the first in bis life to perform. After duly sworn and listening to evidence, which was positive, and to the short speeches of the defend¬ and the County Attorney, and been instructed by the court the punishment for tbe defend¬ offense, if they should believe him guilty beyond the influence of a doubt, was a fine of not $20, the jury retired to consult on their verdict. They were about thirty minutes, when they returned and presented the fol¬ lowing : “We, the undersined jurey, fined the defendant $<52 and fees for the jurrey,” to which two of the jury signed their names and the other lour made their marks. When ’Squire Morgan read aloud their remarkable verdict he could not repress a broad smile, which spread all over his benevolent fea¬ tures until he was the very picture of mirthfulness ; but quickly recov¬ ering his composure, ho observed to the intelligent jury that they bad ev identiy not regarded the instructions given them relative to the limitation of punishment, and informed them that at tbe most they could fine do fendant but $20. Thereupon the most venerable old coon upon the panel arose and said : “Well, ’Squire, you airde jedge,but we is de jury, and we all Knows dis here nigger, and he am one of de worst lot in dis community. We knows dat you sed find ’im $20 for de ’fence he guilty ob in dis case, but den, ’Squire, we knows ob two or three udder pieces ob debilment he ’bin ’gaged in afore dis time, and we just thought we’d lump de whole business while we ’bout it.” It was plain that this was a “gen¬ era! principles” jarv, and the crowd present evidently agreed with their verdict, but the firm oid magistrate couldn't see his instructions and the law trampled upon in any such man¬ ner as that, however equitable to jus tice such a verdict might be, and he stood n bulwark between the defen dant and his “own race” jury, who wanted to fine him upon general principles. Me read over to them his instructions, and directed to retire again and find a ver iu conformity therewith.
