ENFORCING JURY DUTY.

During the coming week Judge McGown. Of the
Harlem Civil Court. proposes to make IL warm for .
number of prominent residents in the Twelfth ward
who have dsregarded Chief Clerk CaldwelPs notices
to appear in court and do duty jurymen. Hereto
fore many thus summoned have quietly torn up the
legal blanks sent them. presuming that no law would
compel their attendance In the district civil courts.
But under the Code the justices of these courts
are empowered to impose fine of SIS for each omis
sion. and Judge McGown proposes to assert his legal
power. Many delinqucnts have already been served
with summons to appear and show why they should
not TIC considered in contempt of Court or else pay
the penalty AS trade dollars cannot be received III
payment of fines, and these coins plenti-
ful than other kinds in Harlem. little excitement
prevails among dweers in that section whose purses
threatened by the proposed enforcement of law.
