This article features a transcription of a [[Folger Shakespeare Library]] [[Manuscripts (disambiguation)|manuscript]], List of Jurors in the Case of Thomas Whiston v. Thomas Smyth, L.a.1067, (ca.1610), featured in the [[Age of Lawyers|''Age of Lawyers'']] Exhibition, September 13, 2015-January 3, 2016.

This list of 24 potential jurors was reduced to 13—presumably 12 jurors and an alternate—with circles next to the eliminated names. As is the case today, each side could reject a number of jurors without cause. The defendant apparently requested a special jury of gentlemen to match his social rank.
