JURIES IN ENGLAND,
They Get Through Their V.ork Quickly
and With Little Fuss.
The working of the British .jury sys
tem exhibits a marked contrast with
that of our own. It is possible thal my
experience in British courts was ex
(•optional, but in not n single instance
did I see a juror challenged or reject
ed. In all of the courts requiring ju
ries ttie necessary number of men
were present, and they were sworn in
without question. In the sheriff's dep
uty court in Scotland the presiding
judge gave notice to the jury that he
expected to adjourn the court at 2
o’clock and stated that if they could
ail remain until that hour he would at
once dismiss the men who had been
called for a second panel. The jurors
conferred together and decided to re
main till 1 o’clock, whereupon the
judge notified the other men to appear
at 12:30. The one jury Impaneled for
the morning session rendered six ver
dicts in cases involving prosecutions
for thefts, fraud and burglary.
In the court of quarter sessions nt
Taunton. England. 1 saw a single jury
in one day render eleven verdicts. I
found that it was customary in the
several sorts of court that 1 attended
for the same jury to act in successive
eases. In no instance did I see a jury
leave their seats to make up their ver
diet, rstinliy the issue before tlp'in
was made so plain that all who gave
attention knew in advance what the
decision would be. I made note of an
exceptional instance of delay when the
court was forced to wait nine minutes
for the la port <>f the jury. In this case
the judge who gave the instructions
was himself in doubt as to what the
verdh t ought to bo.
A Scottish jury consists of fifteen
persons, and a majority may render a
verdict. Iti England the number i>
twelve, and unanimity is required Hut
I noted no difference as to praetica
results in the two countries. The
twelve men In the English jury were
ns prompt and certain In their action
as were the eight out of fifteen In the
Scottish Jury.—McClure's Magazine.
aboard a submarine.
The Crew, the Work and the Kind of
Life the Men Lead.
Life aboard a submarine is not so
unpleasant or dangerous as one might
imagine, but it is entirely different
from that led on other types of ships.
The crew, usually consistl<fc of two
officers and fourteen men. is selected
from volunteers after a most rigid
medical examination. Service rarely
extends beyond a period of two years,
and real work on a submarine is limit
ATTENTION.
We wish to call the attention of
our readers to the endurance race
soon to take place. As there will
he more than -100 in the party and
more than 100 automobiles, it
would be well for those living in the
territory of Jackson and Gwinnett
to stay off the road for the short
time consumed in passing, thus
avoiding accidents and possibly loss
of life. Notice of the day and time
of the coming of the tourists will be
given later-
ed to about three weeks in the sum
mer and one in tlie winter. During the
remainder of -the time the men Jive on
a “parent" ship or on shore. The boat
is. however, put through the various
evolutions once every week.
The first impression on entering a
submarine is one of heat, the air being
rather close and heavy, but the men
soon become accustomed fo it. Stand
ing room space is about six and one
half feet, and toward both ends the
boat tapers away almost to a point.
There are no portholes. The hatchway
in the conning tower is the only aper
ture. ruder water electric light is
used There are ventilators, but when
the boat dives they are shut off with a
cap
I.ife on board a submarine is essen
tially ’in common." The way men
nnd many objects are crammed to
gether in a narrow space is almost
miraculous
Cooking is done in an electric oven,
and no foods which have a strong or
disagreeable smell are used. Of course
smoking is allowed only when on the
surface and then on the bridge. Ow
ing to the character of the men select
ed discipline is perfect.
There is scarcely any noise in a sub
marine when submerged The greatest
depth tlie boat descends does not ex
ceed thirty feet. At that depth her
speed is about s knots. The air is
quite “breathable" for four hours, but
in case of emergency the crew can ro
main closed.for seventy hours with
out danger
The men love the life. With the offi
cers they are as one family, sharing
everything equally, including the dan
gers. which are not much to speak of.
provided every one does his duty.
When the weather is fair there is very
little rolling In rough weather ihe
men escape knocking about by holding
on to “steadying lines."—New York
Press.
