Masters may impose fines on jurors.
34 & 35 Vict. c. 65.
|
9. If any man, having been duly summoned and returned to serve as a juror upon any inquest or inquiry before the master of any division of the High Court of Justice, shall not, after being openly called three times, appear, and service of such summons be duly proved, such master shall have the same authority to impose a fine upon every man so making default as is by the forty-eighth section of the Juries Act (Ireland), 1871, given to a sheriff or coroner; and all the provisions of the said section regarding a fine imposed by a sheriff or coroner shall apply to a fine so imposed by such master.
