Good Men and True SIR,—Mervyn Horder's very interesting article on

his jury service recalled my own experience twenty years ago. When we retired to the room " severely furnished with a wooden table," etc., there was under that table an article of bedroom crockery. We, too, were a mixed jury, and we left it severely alone. Observation leads me to conclude that outside the law-courts this article is rapidly following the wig and the dodo into extinction, but lawyers still wear wigs and I should like to think that it was Mr. Horder's natural refinement which excluded this article from his article arid that in fact it was still there.-4
