§ Sir C. CAYZERasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware of the hardship to farmers of having to serve on juries during the busy time of the hay harvest; and whether he will recommend to the authorities concerned the desirability of abstaining from calling upon farmers so to act at the summer assizes?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI believe that the consideration to which the hon. Baronet calls attention is borne in mind by the officials on whom the duty of summoning jurors for the summer assizes is laid, but I have no authority to issue directions on the subject.
