corporation called «Inn of Court». Pete said that he had learnt about four Inns of Court when he had been in
London. «But probably you don't know that barristers are either «juniors» or «King's (Queen's)» Steve said.
When a barrister becomes O.C. he «takes silk». It means that he can wear a silk gown. Participating in a trial, a
barrister may be counsel for the plaintiff (counsel for the prosecution) or counsel for the defendant (counsel for
the defence)». «I've heard so much about English jury. What are their duties?» Nell asked. «All serious crimes
are tried in a superior court before a jury. Most men and women between the ages of 21 and 60 can be jurors.
According to English law the jury is to return only one of two verdicts — Guilty or Not Guilty». Then Pete
asked whether they elected judges in England. «No, the judges are appointed from the barristers. The judge's
functions are to conduct the proceedings, put questions to the parties and witnesses, examine the documents and
evidence and to pass the sentence (judgement)».
«Well, and now I think it's my turn to ask questions», Steve added. But Pete and Nell said that they would
gladly answer all the questions of their guests, but next day, because it was too late.

Presence of mind
A fire broke out in the middle of the night in a country house where a number of guests had been staying.
Now they were all standing outside wrapped up in shawls, sheets and blankets. One of the guests was the last to
join the crowd. He said he is not at all excited and didn't loose his usual presence of mind in spite of danger. He
drew everybody's attention to the fact that he had not only put on his shirt and tie but even found time to fetch
his pipe and his tobacco-pouch. The other guests were full of admiration and praised his self-possession. Only
one of them wondered why together with shirt and tie he didn't put on his trousers.
