The Harvard Union will meet this evening. The question for debate is, "Resolved, that less than the whole number of a jury should be competent to render a verdict in all cases." Mr. E. J. Smith, '85, and Mr. W. C. Boyden, '86, are the principal disputants for the affirmative and Mr. E. C. McInnes, S. S., and Mr. H. E. Fraser, '86 for the negative. This question has been brought prominently before the public by the recent Cincinnati riot and an interesting discussion upon it may be expected.
