In first going through the Panel, there were only Eight Juror’s Sworn.
Mr. Benezet was first objected to, as being a Servant of the Company employed in a Public Office under the Governor General and Council.
Afterward the Defendant took objection to Mr. Benezet as being under the Age of Twenty One Years, and after some discourse how the fact should be known to the Court. Sir E. Impey said Mr. Benezet will have no objection to answer the Question whether he is of Age: Mr. Claad Benezet being asked said he was not twenty One.
