An exchange says, "Judgo Hoy, Of
Huntingdon county, has adopted rule
to dock jurors empannsiled on a case
one days pay for every FIVE minutes
they are late coming to court" But
Judge Hoy has never attempted to dock
himself, or any of the lawyers, for be-
ing five minutes late. The Judge

it to the lawyer and the court as to the
juror.
