Case No. 8,371.

LINGAN v. MARBURY.

[1 Cranch, C. C. 365.]¹

Circuit Court, District of Columbia.

Dec. Term, 1806.

JURY—ALIEN.

A juror cannot object to serve because he is an alien.

A juror objected to being sworn on the petit jury because he was an alien, a North Briton.

THE COURT thought it no objection, coming from the juror himself, however it might be if he was challenged by either party.

FITZHUGH, Circuit Judge, absent.

By consent of parties, however, he was not sworn.
