This ac tion ir.arki'd the first real constructive work of tho convention. The present constitution guarantees the right of trlu I by Jury, and authorizes the legis lature to provide for verdict In courts Inferior to the d'strlct court by less than twelve. The convention now au thorizes tho legislature to provide for verdicts In civil cases In any court by not less than live-sixths of the Jury. Among the proposals reported by standing committees for indefinite postponement during the past week are: No. 30, which would strike out of the constitution provision against slavery or Involuntary servitude; No. 08, which proposed to nmend Section 7 to prevent Issuance of search war rant except where there Is probnblo cause for felony; 138, requiring Jury trial for constructive contempt nnd verdict by nine Jurors Jn civil cases.
