A ewe that has given birth to 22 lambs in eight years is numbered among the flock of Mr. C. J. Hawken, Mokoia, New Plymouth. The ewe is a purebred Lincoln ten years old. Three times she has had twins, four times triplets and once quadruplets.
’ “If women cannot get their lunch in threequarters of an hour they are not fit to be jurors.” Mr. Justice 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 week, and he refused to allow them to return to the jury box. The case proceeded with only 10 jurors—all men.
