“Jury service is a duty of every able-bodied and adult man in the community. No doubt many others who have not applied for exemption have also been put to considerable inconvenience,” commented Si” Hubert Ostler in the Supreme Court at Palmerston North, when 10 jurors who had been called sought exemption. His Honour said that exemption was justifiable where a man engaged solely in business on his own account would suffer irreparable hardship by serving. Among the applicants before him were two from the same department of one city store, and his Honour ruled that one of them must servo. A wool-buyer, a furniture machinist, a one-man grocery business proprietor, and a watch-maker were excused.
