My wife is completing a book on the well-known lunacy case of John
Armstrong Chanler (aka John Armstrong Chaloner). In 1899 a "Sheriff's
Jury" declared Chanler mentally incompetent, and removed his property from
his control, in a proceeding under the aegis of the New York Supreme
Court. The question is: What is a "Sheriff's Jury"?  Chanler had no
attorney representing him at the hearing.  Any help will be greatly
appreciated.
