Women Jurors Provision for women between the ages of 25 and GO serving as jurors should they so desire is contained in the Women Jurors (No. 2) Bill, which was introduced into the House of Representatives. The AttorneyGeneral, Mr Mason, said that the measure was identical with one previously introduced by Mrs Dreaver (Government, Waitemata) and declared out of order. To enable a woman to serve as a juror the bill specifies that she must possess the necessary qualifications and must notify th.e sheriff in writing that she wishes to serve. It is the duty of the sheriff to supply to the superintendent of police of the district concerned a list of women who wish to serve, and if he is satisfied such names may be added to the jury list.
