The jury Of peers is the most remarkab bic one
known in criminal law. The panel includes the
entire House of Lords. from the Junior barons

in this bigamy case, and can be exempt from a
challenge. A bare majority of these unsworn
Jurors will suffice 10 determine the guilt or inno-

The Kings inspection Of the Yeomen of the
Guard IN the gardens of Marlborough House
was a bright and picturesque function. with a
fun muster of that historic court guard. The
last inspection Of the yeomen by Queen Victoria
was one of the proudest memories Of the veter-
ans and the King was following in his mothers
footsteps in singing them out for special recos-
milton and honor. The yeomen had little to do
during The closing years Of the lest reign. but
they are now fully employed in the stage man
agement of every court function.

again last evening beside his distinguished fellow
citizen.
