Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trial of Lucretia Chapman, Otherwise Called Lucretia Espos Y Mina, Who Was Jointly Indicted With Lino Amalia Espos Y Mind, for the Murder of William Chapman, Esq., Late of Andalusia, County of Bucks, Pennsylvania: In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Held at Doylestown, for Bucks, December Term, 1831, Continued to February Term, 1832 On Wednesday afternoon, the prisoners having been brought up, and put to the bar, Mr. Rush, on the part of Mina, rose and addressed some remarks to the Court, expressive of the embarrassment under which he laboured, in consequence of his client's imperfect knowledge of the English language. He proceeded to state that, although it was with considerable difficulty the indictment had been explained to the prisoner, he was prepared to waive all objections to the immediate arraignment on that ground, provided that, by pleading to the indictment at once, he did not debar himself from the right, on which it might be his duty to insist, to be tried by a jury of which one half should be composed Of foreigners (de medietate lingum). It was his object therefore to obtain some assurance from the Court, or from the prosecu tion, that an immediate plea to the indictment should not foreclose that right.
