WHAT DOES SPECIAL JURY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Special jury

A Special Jury, which is a jury selected from a special roll of persons with a restrictive qualification, could be used for Civil or Criminal cases, although in Criminal cases only for misdemeanours such as seditious libel. The party opting for a Special Jury was charged a fee, which was 12 guineas just prior to abolition in England. The qualifications to be a special juror in England were governed by the Jurors Act, 1870, and the main difference between the special jury and a common jury under that Act was merely a matter of wealth; indeed, it was little more than a question of whether a person lived in a larger house, because it was mainly a question of the rateable value of the house. A householder rated at £100 in a large town, or £50 in a small town, was qualified to be a special juror, while a householder rated at £30 in London and Middlesex, and £20 elsewhere, was qualified to be a common juror. There were various other qualifications for a special juror, such as if a man was entitled to be called "Esquire," or if he was a merchant or a banker, but in practice the special jury list was largely made up on the basis of rateable qualification.
