The statute 33 Edw. I. deprived the crown of the power to challenge jurors without showing cause, aud the practice of standing aside jurors was adopted, in England, as a method of evading its provisions. A similar practice is in use in Pennsylvania. See Warren v. Com., 37 Pa. 54; Zell v. Co.m., 94 Pa. 272; Haines v. Co.m., 100 Pa. 322.

Gatling V.
