Lock the jury up together,
Lock them up the live-long night,
Even in the closest weather!
Is it rational? is it right?
What pretence can lawyers put up
For a rusty rule, but fudge?
Why, a jury when you shut up,
Not as well shut up the judge?

villainous-looking man the prisoner is!”
_Friend._ “Hush! That’s not the prisoner. That’s the magistrate!”]
