COATLESS JURYMEN
A CONSIDERATE JUDGE (.Special to tub ‘Siau.’J AUCKLAND, February 21. It would be difficult to find a hotter place these sultry afternoons than the upper room at the Supreme Court. The building is exposed to the full rays of the sun all day long, and by 3 o’clock the temperature is well above “summer heat.” A jury which sweltered through the hearing of a long and very technical case yesterday was duly grateful to Mr Justice Blair for allowing them to doff their jackets. Shirt-sleeved jurymen are seldom seen in New Zealand courts of law, but such a slight relaxation, of court discipline does no harm, and if it makes for comfort it probably makes for judicial efficiency.
