Bartow v. Murry
Bartow v. Murry
Opinion of the Court
— The sixth reason assigned for the reversal of this judgment, is that the venire does not command the constable to summon twelve men, being citizens of this State, above the age of twenty-one and under the age of sixty-five.
This is expressly required by-the act constituting these courts. If the precept is right, the want of qualifications [71] Avould be matter of challenge to the jurors individually, as they came to the book. But here, the error is in the process itself. According to the opinion of Sayres v. Scudder,
I think there must be a reversal.
— Did not concur in opinion with the chief justice; but thought the judgment ought to be affirmed.
— All the reasons assigned for the reversal of this judgment, excepting the sixth, are either not supported by the record, or if supported, insufficient to reverse the judgment. I have considered the sixth reason, which in substance
Judgment affirmed.
