§ MR. AYRTONsaid, he rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill under which jurors would be entitled to remuneration in certain cases. The claims upon the time of jurors had of late greatly increased, and he proposed that when they were called on as a matter of convenience to suitors to perform a duty not cast upon them in former times, namely, to act in cases not originating in the county in which they resided, they should be entitled to receive a fee of 7s. each, or one third of the fee paid to special jurymen.
THE SOLICITOR GENERALsaid, he would not oppose the introduction of the Bill; but at the same time he wished to be understood as not committing himself to its principle.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill for the remuneration of Jurors in certain cases, ordered to be brought in by Mr. AYRTON and Sir FITZROY KELLY.
§ Bill presented, and read 1°. [Bill 36.]
