IF WIVES SERVE ON JURIES..

WHO WILL LOOK AFTER

THE CHILDREN.

The recent Act removing sex disqualific ions has been hailed as the woman's charter of free- dom, but is not always remem- bered that it brings with it responsibilities as well as pri- vileges. How many women, for instance, realise the full possi- bilities of that clause which states that a person shall not be exempted by sex or marriage from the liability to serve as a joror?

Asked for his opinion on the subject Mr. Holford Knight, the champion of sex equality at the Bar, replied: "Since women have sought and have succeeded in winning equality with moga io the discharge of certain public duties they must be prepared to contemplate the sacrifice de- Imanded in their fulâtment.

"Personally I do not think that women jurors will be called upon to deal with all that diversity of issues which are at present Isid before men jurors. On the other hand, in the business of our courts

lof_women-jurors would prove off great value, and I presume that the regulations will be framed with an eye to these particular occasions.

But what the average woman (will went to know is whether she will be taken away from her household duties to attend at a court of law.

The woman's point of view was put to a "Daily News" represent- ative yesterday by Mrs. Will Crooks, "I certainly think somė exemptions should be given."she Isaid, "A woman who has a busband and family to look after should not be burdened-with these additional duties.

"If she is away, who is to give the husband als dinner when he comes home? Who is to feed the children?

There are many cases in the Courts in which women's in- terests are concerned where a | jury of women would be farmore suitable, than # jury at men. It would ber & pity

to lose the services of married women. because their expérience and knowledge of life would be of great value.”
