The return of a feparate pannel in each cafe is, likewife, perfeélly conliltent with law, pra€tice, and public conveniency. The indiflments depending are all feparate; none of them are joint. The exception, however, if it is at all available, goes to the senin, and not to the pannel; for the latter is in ftri& confor- mity to the former. After the Court has prefcribed that twelve of the jurors {hall be brought from the proper County, the Mar- ihall has a legl difcretion to bring the reft from any part of the Dillri& at he pleafes. The Court will not, and cannot, interfere with the exercife of that power, unlefs it becomes ne- ceifary, in order to obtain an impartial jury. There mult be as many pannels, as there are Counties, in which ollences are charged tohave been committed; and if twelve jurors are ta- ken from the proper county for each cafe. there can be no le- gal ground to ohjeét that the fame lixty, to compleat the pannel of 72. are returned to all the cafes. But the adverfe doctrine would require the jurors to be brought from everz County in which an odencc is charged. Snppofe, therefore, ve Counties involved, fixty jurors would, of courfe, be returned from them; and if the Court (as it has been contended) cannot increafe that number, then a pirate, or any other felon, charged with an ofence committed out of thofe Counties, could not be brought to trial at the fame term. ad.

That e addition of the jurors and witnelles as to the place of abode, is fudicient; but if the Court think otherwife, time will be allowed to amend it. The acl of Congrefs, how- ever, does not require a fpecificatiou of the occupation of the jurors and witneifes, but only of their names and places of abode; and it cannot be controuled by the provilion of the State af}, which is in that rel'pe€t different, but mult be deemed fubltan- tive and independent.
