He read the affidavit of the constable, who was sworn to attend the jury, while they retired to deliberate on their verdict, who stated, that the jurors agreed, that each of them should mark down such sum as he thought fit to find, and the sum total being divided by twelve, the quotient should be the verdict; and that the verdict was so ascertained. Similar affidavits of two of the jurors, were also read. N. Williams, contra, read the affidavits of two other jurors, stating, that the jury, after some deliberation, unanimously agreed to find a verdict for the plaintiff; that each juror then privately marked the sum he was inclined to give; eight of them marked 500 dollars, one 600 dollars, and one 50 dollars. The sums so marked were added together, and the amount divided by twelve, and the sum produced by the division, they, afterwards, agreed should be their verdict. After the verdict was delivered in court, in the usual form, the jury were polled, and each of the jurors, on being asked whether he agreed to the verdict, declared his assent, Gold objected, that these affidavits of the jurors could not be read. He cited the case of Owen and another v. Warburton (1 Bos. Pull. & N. S. 326). Williams observed, that in the case of Smith v. Cheetham (3) Caines, 57) the court allowed the affidavits of jurors to be read; and that it would be unreasonable and unjust, to permit the solemn verdict of a jury to be set aside on the affidavit of an officer, as to their misconduct, without allowing the jurors to be heard in defence of their verdict. In the case of Lawrence v. Boswell, Sayer, 100, where seven of the jurors voted for the verdict, and the other five made no objection, when the verdict was given, the court refused to set it aside. PER CURIAM. The better opinion is, and such is the rule adopted by the court, that the affidavits of jurors are not to be received to impeach a verdict; but they may be admitted in exculpation of the jurors, and in support of their verdict. Rejecting the affidavits of the two jurors against the verdict, there is the affidavit of two other jurors in favour of the verdict, which must outweigh that of the constable. If the jurors previously agree to a particular mode of arriving at a verdict, and to abide by the contingent result, at all events, without reserving to themselves the liberty of dissenting, such a proceeding would be improper; but if the means is adopted merely for the sake of arriving at a reasonable measure of damages, without binding the jurors by the result, it is no objection to the verdict.1 1 See, to the same effect, Campbell v. Brown, 85 Kan. 527, 534-535 (1911). As to compromise verdicts, see Simmons v. Fish, 210 Mass. 563, 571-572 (1912). Cf. Alden v. Sacramento Suburban Fruit Lands Co., 137 Minn. 161 (1917), p. 426, infra. W Such appears to have been the case here; and after the result of the division was known, they individually assented to the sum, as their verdict. The motion must be denied. Rule refused.1 WEEKS v. HART. GENERAL TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT, NEW YORK, SECOND DEPARTMENT. 24 Hun 181. 1881. APPEAL from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, entered upon the verdict of a jury, and from an order denying a motion for a new trial made upon the minutes of the justice before whom the action was tried. GILBERT, J.: When the jurors were polled one of them responded that he was not satisfied with the verdict. The court asked the juror if he had not agreed to the verdict, and the juror responded that he had. The defendant's counsel objected to the entry of the verdict, the court overruled the objection and the defendant's counsel excepted. Whereupon the court directed the verdict to be entered. That direction was clearly erroneous. The jury should have been sent back for further deliberation. The right of a juror to dissent from a verdict to which he had before agreed, is not lost until the verdict has been recorded. Any expression of dissent before that has been done, destroys the unanimity which is essential to make a verdict valid. (Labar v. Koplin, 4 Coms., 550, and cases there cited; 3 Waite's Pr., 192.) This error being decisive it is unnecessary to consider the other questions presented. The judgment and order must be reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event. BARNARD, P. J., concurred; DYKMAN, J., not sitting. Judgment and order denying new trial reversed and new trial granted, costs to abide event.2 1 As to the reception of testimony of jurors to sustain the verdict, see 2 Thompson, Trials (2d ed. 1912) § 2623. 2 See, accord, Owens v. Southern Ry. Co., 123 N. C. 183 (1898); Frick v. Reynolds, 6 Okla. 638, 647–649 (1898); Scott v. Scott, 110 Pa. 387, 390 (1885). Compare Hill v. State, 64 Ga. 453, 465 (1880); State v. Sheets, 89 N. C. 543 (1883). A juror may dissent from the verdict although the jury is not polled. See Lawrence v.
