The jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned affirmative answers to
all the questions put to them. This the Lord Chief Justice held to constitute a verdict of "Guilty." At first, however, the jury failed to base a unanimous verdict of Guilty" on these findings. In the end, nevertheless, the dissentient juryman was made to see that such a verdict was only the logical outcome of the questions to which he had answered "Yes," and the verdict of "Guilty" was given with a rider that the state of things in Johannesburg presented great provocation. At first counsel for the prisoners expressed their intention to make a motion for arrest of judgment, but after consultation with their clients such action was abandoned, and sentence was pronounced by the Lord Chief Justice. Dr. Jameson was sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment, Sir John Willoughby to ten months' imprisonment, Major Robert White to seven months' imprisonment, Colonel Grey, Colonel Henry White, and Major Coventry to five months' imprison- ment, all without hard labour.
