JURY FOREWOMAN.

PRESIDING OVER 11 MEN.

A new epoch began in "the administration of criminal justice in Landon when, at the Old Balley, women for the first time served on the juries and a ferewoman returned the verdict in a case which was tried by a jury of herself and eleven men The time-honoured phrase "Gentie men of the jury" was altered to suit the occasion to "Lady and gentle- men of the jury."..

Since the institution of the jury in far-off Anglo-Saxon days, none but Imen have acted as jurors.

MANY. EXCUSES. Touching and humerous scenes followed with the calling up of the women. All were middle-aged and many wege elderly Some were in mourning, and few seemed pleased with the work before them.

Of the 24 women who were called 10 made excuses, while one did not appear. Of the 10 who wished not to serve 8 were granted release. The attempt of one woman to be excused caused amusement. She was a stout woman, wearing a squirrel coat and carrying a squirrel muff. She wore a black satin dress, and in her hand was a gaily coloured handbag. On her name being called she cried "Excose" and made a dart at the Common Sergeant's seat, but an usher pointed out that she must wait her

The Main feature in last week's general statistics was that the visible supply of American cotton shewed a loss of 13,000 Bales against gain of 121,000 Bales last year.

NERVOUS WOMEN. ..

In another court in the same building two women were sitting on a jury. One was a little, elderly figure in black with a sad face. She was a Hampstead boarding-house keeper of 60, and was obviously in tensely conscious of her position. Before being called on to serve she confessed to her nervousness, but nevertheless she took ber place with- cut delay.
