<p>Exemption from Jury Service—Militia,—A party who has faithfully served in the organized militia of the State for the space of seven consecutive years, and who has received from the Adjutant-general a certificate to that effect, is exempt from jury duty.</p>

Decided 1882-09-15

The Court :

¶1The question in this case is simply whether a party who has faithfully served in the organized militia of the State for the space of seven consecutive years, and who has received from the Adjutant-general a certificate to that effect, is exempt from jury duty ?

¶2Section 1936 of the Political Code expressly provides for such exemption, and the petitioner was not liable to jury duty. Let him be discharged.
