Case No. 18,162.

YOUNG v. MAEINE INS. CO.

[1 Cranch, C. C. 238.]¹

Circuit Court, District of Columbia.

June Term, 1805.

QUALIFICATIONS OF JORORS.

The qualifications of jurors in this court must be the same as in the county courts of Virginia, [Cited in brief in First Nat. Bank v. Town of Mount Tabor, 52 Vt. 92.]

[Action by James Young against the Marine Insurance Company of Alexandria.]

It was yesterday decided (Cranch, Circuit Judge, absent) that the qualifications of jurors in this court shall be such as are required for jurors in the county courts of Virginia; and not those required for jurors in the district courts of Virginia. Jurymen therefore need not hold a freehold estate, 850but must possess personal property to the value of 150 dollars; but see U. S. v. Johnston [Case No. 15,490].
