Opinion
Qu.r constitution declares, that in all controver-ri-s at law inspecting property, the ancient mode of trial by ■Jury, is otic o' the best securities of the righto of the people, and ought to remain sacred and inviolable. It may be said, if :AS concur in a verdict, 12 must necessarily have given their assent. Bit any innovation amounting in the least degree to a departure frena the ancient mode, may cause a departure in Other inzlraces, and in the end, endanger or pervert this excellent inst'ifr.roa from its usual course ; therefore no such innovation should be permitted.
