Women and the Law. Mr. Justin Barton, sitting in the Chancery Division in Dublin, has, dismissed a petition of right in which the appliant was Miss Georgina Frost, who claimed to have been elected olerk of the Potty Bessions at Sixmilemidge, County Clare. The election was conducted by the local justices, but in the Patty Beesiona Clerks (Ireland) Act, 1851, power was conferred on the Lord Lieutenant to discontinue any of these offices. The father of the suppliant had been olerk in the same district, and for five years daring bie illness the suppliant bad discharged the duties of the f office. One of the arguments of the Crown against the appoint- ment of a woman was that it! might become her daly to take depositions in crimina}}| caser, which would be 14- pleasant for her and for everybody concerned. Mr. Justice Barton in giving judgment, said that he would not usurp the fanotions of Parliament. In modern cases the disqualification of women was not i rested apon any presumed in- feriority of intellect or discretion. There were few people nowadays who would allege any such inferiority. It was nominally rested upon considerstions Gl decorum and upon the arfitness of certain painful and exacting "daties in relation to the faer

qualities of women.

In these circumstances, the French Government have made it known they bud embarked German prisoners On these vessels. The French newspapera comment upon the oss of the words "fortunate enough," which occur in the British Admiralty communiqas in reference to the rescue of the officers and men from the Ger- mau destroyers sank in the raid off Dover. All the papsra iske the view that the spirit anderly- ing the expression is worthy of the beat traditions of the British Navy, and they contrast this shiv. alrons spirit with the ruthlessDGAN of the Germans and wonder if the difference will be understood. The Gaulois says Yesterday the British declared themselves happy at saving German sailors, That is civilisation; that humanity. Some days earlier we
