Exemption From Jury Service
A claim for exemption from jury service on the unusual ground that he was over the age for jurymen was made by a man whose name was called when the jury was being empanelled in the Supreme Court, Wellington, this week. He pointed out that the maximum age for jurymen was 60 years and said he was 61. Agreeing that a person over 60 could not be compelled to serve and that the application must be allowed, His Honor remarked that a man over 60 was not compelled to speak up. -In these days when there were sufficient men to be called it did not matter if such men claimed exemption, he said.
