MIXED JURIES.
NOT A SUCCESS.
IN DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS
LONDON, Jan. 28. Four days’ divorce proceedings before a mixed jury have culminated in a disagreement for the second time. Sir Marshall Hall, who was appearing for Iho wife of respondent, remarked; “This is my first case before a mixed jury, and I hope 1 may never have another. ’ Ihe foreman stated that no question had arisen as between men and women jurors. Iwo mar. ried jury women had described listening to letters connected with the case as a terrible ordeal.” Two unmarried jurywomon had stated that the duties should be confined to married women above ago. Miss Baker, a juror, during the war was superintendent of the women munition workers at Moot wieh, and i* now prominent in connection with tho women’s unemployment movement, considers women should sit on any case. She says it is no use talking of unpleasant details or of making distinctions between married and unmarried women—A. and N.Z. cable.
