Regulation for Jurors in Courts of Justice Historical Act
The act reforms juror selection to curb corruption in trial juries. Petty constables must compile true lists of qualified jurors, posted publicly at parish doors for twenty days before Michaelmas. Qualifications include freeholder or copyholder worth at least ten pounds per year in England or six pounds in Wales, or life leasehold of twenty pounds annual value. Names are sealed and drawn in court to form juries, with limits on service frequency to prevent coercion.
