A MIXED JURY.
DISAGREE IN DIVORCE CASE. ARE WOMEN A SUCCESS? By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 29, 5.5 p.m. London, Jan. 28. Four days’ divorce proceedings before a mixed jury culminated in a disagreement for the second time. Sir Edward Marshall-Hall, who is appearing for the wife (respondent) remarked: “This is my first case before a mixed jury and I hope I may never have another.” The foreman stated that no question had arisen - as between men and women jurors. Two married jury women described listening to letters connected with the case as a terrible ordeal, and two unmarried jurywomen stated that their duties should be confined to married women above age. Miss Barker, a juror, who during the war was superintendent of women munition workers at Woolwich, and is now prominent in connection with the 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.”—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
