The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
Bias; partiality; lenity; prejudice. The grand jury are sworn to inquire into all offenses which have been committed, and into all violations of law, without fear, favor, or affection. See "Grand Jury." When a juror is influenced by bias or prejudice, so that there is not sufficient ground for a principal challenge, he may nevertheless be challenged for favor.
