The Bengal Renaissance - pg. 44

In the Jury bill introduced in Parliament by Mr. Wynn a discrimination was sought to be made between christians on the one hand and Hindu and Muslim subjects on the other. It was provided thaat when a Christian would face a jury trial, the Jurors would be Christians only. But for Hindus and Muslims it was not provided similarly that the Jurors would be Hindus and Muslims only. Besides, in the Grand Jury, it was proposed, there should be no place for Hindus and Muslims. Rammohun wanted such discrimination to have no place in the judicial administration.
