Juries in Civil Causes

Juries in Civil Causes.

Chap. 4.—In Halifax, in all actions of libel, slander, criminal conversation, seduction, malicious prosecution and false imprisonment, before the Supreme Court all issues heretofore triable by jury, will continue to be so tried unless the parties or counsel waive such trial. In other civil causes, the trial will be had without Jury unless one of the parties, with his last pleading, demands one, giving notice to the other party. But at trial, after such notice, the parties may still waive the right, and consent being entered on the record, the judge proceeds alone: and the Judge may, in his discretion, direct a trial by Jury or without. This is not to affect cases in Equity.
