jury dutyA four-year-old girl has been called up for jury service.

Officials sent a letter to Beatrice Ball ordering her to attend a trial at Bristol Crown Court on June 5 reports The Sun.

Beatrice’s mum Sam said: “She found it hilarious. Beatrice is bright for her age but this is ridiculous.

“She knows what jury service is because her grandad was recently sent a summons and explained to her what he had to do.”

Sam, 33, of Bedminster, Bristol, contacted officials to explain - Beatrice has now been excused.

Civil servants responsible for issuing jury summonses blamed Bristol city council for the mix-up.

The Court Service said it was sent an old electoral list mistakenly containing Beatrice’s name.

The council insisted: “We issued an up-to-date register.”
