Record Source: when the jury list was again submitted at Middlesbrough on Friday week by Mr W. GOUNDRY, the assistant overseer, the Chief Constable (Mr Henry RICHES) applied that the names of a number of men be struck off on the ground that they were alien enemies. The Stipendiary said it was a difficult point to decide as the Act definitely stated that any alien who had been domiciled in the country for 10 years was entitled to be on the list. Nothing was said about alien enemies. Nevertheless, it was evident by the recent Orders in Council that the liberties of alien enemies should be restricted. It was scarcely equitable that these men should be on the list, and he would strike them off.
