I A new jirgumeut is now advanced for women jurors. 1 1 ten, it is urged, are too susceptible to the charms of pretty prisoners, and lawyers jhave learned t turn this masculine weakness to the benefit of female criminals, much to the detri ment of justice. In England they are said to instruct their fair clients as follows : Enter the box (or the doek, as the case may be) with your veil down. Tin's gives me occa sion tojtell you to raise your veil and show your face to the jury. . When you do this, burst into tears and use your white cambrfc pocket-hand-kercoief. , Thfu; let the jury see your pretty ejes red with weeping, and yonr, damask cheek blanched with anguish and coursed with tears. When yoU jjjrel hard pressed by- the opposing council, begin to sob, and grasp the rail as If fjr support. You will then be accoinmodated With a scent-bottle and a chair; aud ihe jury J will think the, cross-examining counsel a brute, and you an injured angel.";;, ,M.-Xi:.:' ;r X x Woien jurors, accord ing to competent psycho logical authority, would be proof against all such gammon, aud would ouly be moved to exclaim, -Qh, the deceitful thing 1 She deserves a double punishment for putting on such airs."
