A CAUSTIC JUDGE
“ If women cannot gvt their lunch in three-quarters of an hour they are not fit to be jurors.” ■ Mr Just'ce Horridge, in the King’s Bench Division, thus rebuked two women jurors who returned from lunch a quarter of an hour late (says a “Daily Chronicle” report). “ You had plenty of time,” declared the judge. “ I allowed you threequarters of an hour. You have kept everybody waiting.”
He added that he would not fine them, but they must attend in court every day for the rest of the wfeek, and he refused to allow them to return to the jury box.
