The diroussion in the High Court on the climination by Mr.osrrected to noon to-day: Justice Avory of the woman Jurors at the trial of Vaquior has an important bearing upon the question of sax, equality before the law, says "Tomplar" In a Homo paper. It is not surpris- ing to learn that women are con- cerned at the incident. For tha battle of equal olvic_rights for women is still in the guerilia otage, and the advance supposed Sox bo mado by the Disqualification. (Removal) Act has been subjected to sudden and unexpected checke,

It was not noticed at the time that women wore absoat from tho Vaquior jury, and counsel for the defenco intimated to the Criminal Appeal Court that the by the order Rivon judge to that effect was unknown until-s-lato-stago in the trial, when no action could bo takon. It will be useful to review the position, beth as regards the law and the prootice, because public opinion le rather confunod by the Vaquier incident,

While the Sex Disqualification (Romoval) Act, as its title sug goats, abolished the sex bar for Jury servico, it placed in the dia- cretion of the judge the power to dispenso with wornen on the jury. The reason for this was well appreciated at, the time. Some of the judges were appréhensive as to bow the roform would work! while others were doubtful of its utility.

It was felt that some special cases wore quite unsuitable for the assistance of women, and in- dead women were enabled by the Btalute to apply for exemption from service in a particular caso by reason of the evluence or of the issues to be tied." Tho dia- aretion of the judge was rolated to this provision and occurs in samo samo Fention. Ionco, what puzzles public opinion is how the ovidence in the Vaquier caso could have come to be considerad in this category.

Clearly, the difficulty of so- commodation for women jurors! in a longthy murder trial is not a provision. relevant to such Women cannot be excused from public dution for such a reason, which it is, the business of authority to avoid. The discus- aion in the High Court will sorro a useful purpose if it places women jury service on the proper basis.

It is essentially a duty that] must bo discharged, except for strong reasons presumed by the Statue. It is only fair to women As a sex, and reasonable for men who, otherwise must perform extra duty.
