Advocacy of Jury System by Local Lawyer: Criticism of Present Methods In view of vague rumours which have been in circulation lately, a booklet which has just reached us must call for some attention. It is entitled "The United States Court for China as an Institution," and is by Mr. W. 8. Fleming, the American lawyer. So far as can be seen the work is a plea for the introduction of the jury system in the U. S. Court, for the writer on more than one occasion pays a high tribute to the efficiency of the jury system as used in H. M. Supreme Court. It is of interest in connexion with this booklet to state that Mr. Fleming is understood to have left recently for the United States.
