Syllabus

<p>JURY-COMPENSATION-ATTENDANCE UPON COURT.</p> <p>Under tbe statute (Bal. Code, § 1609) allowing jurors a certain per diem for each, day’s attendance on a court of record, jurors are not entitled to compensation for Saturdays, where the court has excused them from Friday evening until Monday morning, for the purpose of hearing motions, although such jurors could not have known prior to Friday evening whether or not they would be called for jury duty the following day, and those jurors living at a distance were unable to reach home and return during the time for which they were excused and were therefore compelled to remain in town even if not on jury duty.</p>
