la Ibe Alexandria courts the tedium
of green>bag proceedings is relieved
by'aa occasional sprightly tarn. Re
cently, Catherine Bvitt was on trial
for seising Bridget O'Oorman by the
hair. 1 ' Counsel for the defence moved
the court to instruct the jury that if
the defendant's husband was, at the
time present, she was to be consid
ered as constructively under his coer
cion, on well known principles of law,
•iting Blackstone, Wharton, etc.
The Presiding Justice—The diffi
culty in this case is that, in Black
atone's time, women were controled
by their husbands, but in these times
women control their husbands, and
such an instruction in thefie days
would be very dangerous. (Laugh
ter.) The nstruction was refused.
