SPOKE TO TEN
JURORS ABOUT
HIS
CASE
A LITIGANT who admitted that after a case was over he talked to every member of the jury except two was rebuked in the Court of Appeal.
The court dismissed an appeal in person by Mr. Lawrence William Worden, of Lammack-road, Blackburn, who suggested that. £ awarded to him in his action at Manchester Assizes against the Midland Bank was inadequate.
