In the summer I was reading an excellent biography of the first Lord Mansfield by an American author. He records at least two cases (and one supposes that there were others) where Mansfield left the jury to their deliberations and went home. Later when a verdict was reached the entire jury was transported to Mansfield's home where he took the verdict in his entrance hall! Skype seems to be modern version of this and would have saved Mansfield's juries much travelling about.
