EXEMPT FIREMEN-D. Deb, City. In
law exempt flremen are not exempt from
service on jury in this State, but In
practice they are. In consideration OF
services rendered during stated period #
years in the extinguishment of fires one
of the Legislatures passed law declaring
that such firemen should be absolved from
serving on juries. but another aw-makIng
power repealed that law. The Judges of
the various courts have recognized that
this was violation of a contract on the
part OF the State, and now when an
exempt fireman who has been SUNNI oned
to serve on jury shows his certificate he
is excused. This is not done as matter
of law. but of justice.
