Juries and Juryrnen.

Judge r. c. Pitman, in the North American Review
1t is current notion that the reason why SO few
hrst-class business men are found upon our 1uries
Is that they are excused by the courts The re-
turns show that such men rarely get upon the
jury lists In the exceptional cases where such
men are returned to serve 1t is doubt one OF the
most important duties OF judge to brace himself
up against yielding to any but the best OF excuses
Boards OF trade would do well not only to lncucate
II as point or honor that none OF their members
should seek to shrink this grave public duty, but
also to see to 1t that their class be properly repre-
sented And here let nee add that the general hard
ship OF jury duty Is over estimated. 1 have re-
peatediy had business men at the end OF q term
confess atO me not only the satisfaction they
have felt in performing this function, and the In
terest they have felt In their work. but their sur
prise that IL was SO little onerous Con-
nected with the elevation Of the character
OF the jury Is the question OF their bet
ter treatment The two reforms 20 hand
in hand. II Is no doubt essential to preserve
the strict control OF the presiding judge over the
conduct OF the jury; but II Is now the aim Of
thought{ul judges to exercise this control with the
utmost courtesy that circumstances allow. The
jurors are, in truth, part OF the court, sitting
under the same solemn obligation, and engaged In
the same serious duty. Respect from Others tends
TO increase their self-respect l cannot but feel
that the more they are treated as gentlemen the
better viii they respond TO the call upon TO act as
such particularly object 10 the uncomfortable
and unSanitary arrangements OF most OF our jury
rooms. This constitutes TO many persons of deli
cate health or fenned tastes the most serious OBJ
lection TO jury service while to those In good health
and who are less fastidlous It is still an annoying
calm judgment SO important In reaching Impartial
and accurate verdictS In this suggestion OF better
accommodations for Jurors, am sure that shall
carry the assent OF all reasonable men.
