QUAINT OLD JURY BOX.
It Was in Use IN Lynn, Massachu-
setts, from 1882 to
1908.

A little lacQuered, wooden box, now
in the possession of the Lynn His
torical society, and labeled simply
"Old Jury Box" could, had it a
tongue, tell a long and most interest
ing story Of the growth of the town
and city Of Lynn during the past 200
years.
The box itself is like most other
boxes made in the early part of the
eighteenth century, dovetailed at the
corners and glued together. It is not
large box, yet the names of many
Of Lynn's best citizens have been
drawn from it for service on a jury
sitting in judgment on their fellow
men.
On the bottom Of the box are the
figures ''1732," and it is thought that
this is the date the box was made.
By whom it was constructed nobody
seems to know, and nothing can be
found in the old town records regard
ing its use. However, it is known
that it was used nearly 200 years,
and that it is probably the Oldest box
in Lynn to-day.
From the time it was constructed
until 1903 it was in constant use.
But as the years rolled by and the
town grew into a city, and a small
city into one of great proportions, the
box proved too small to hold the
names of the jurors.
In 1903 City Clerk Joseph w. Att
will ordered a new jury box to be
made. This is Of oak and much larger
than the old box. Soon after the COM
pletion of the new box the old box
was presented to the Lynn Historical
society, and at present rests in large
wall cabinet
The. box has bail of hand-wrought
iron and an old-fashioned lock and
hinges Of the same material A little
slot in the top admits of dropping the
names into the box The inside is left
in the natural wood, but the outside is
lacquered and is about the color Of
old mahogany.
