Mode of giving verdict
The verdict of the jury shall in all cases be given by the foreman in open court and in the presence of all the jury, and, if in a criminal proceeding, in the presence of the person accused, and shall thereupon be recorded by the Registrar or clerk of the court who shall, before taking the verdict, ask if they are all or by what majority agreed thereon, and whether they find for the plaintiff or for the defendant, and, in the case of a person accused, whether they find such person accused guilty or not guilty; and the jury shall either pronounce a general verdict for the plaintiff or defendant, or of guilty or not guilty, or else shall return a special verdict finding the facts of the
case:
Provided that the jury may acquit any person accused of a part of the charge against him, and find him guilty of the remainder.
