Anomalies of the «# Law. -To what extent can a married wo- man be punished for a crime commit- ted by her under the.compulsion of ber husband, in obedience to his orders, or when it js committed with- out his knowledge or consent? The | point is a particularly interesting one | in these days of women's rights--and | WIODgS. The laws says that if a wife com- mils an indictable crime, Ile. that of treason, murder, manslaughter, or house), in the presence of her hus- band, she is presumed to have acted! Juinder her husband's compulsion, un- less the contrary is proved, and she cannot be convicted. Thus, ag Mr. W, Blake Odgers, corder of Bristol, of his lectures on "The Law Relat- ing.to Married Women," if a man making counterfeit coins or notes sent his wife out to change some of | them and went with her, waiting in? the street while she passed the bad money, she would be acting under the coercion of her husband, and it would be left for the jury to decide whether she committed the. crime under the control or su¥jection of her husband. \ -On the other hand, if it is proved in cages of robbery, pocketspicking, shoplifting, etc., that she acted free- tly, although her husband was present when the crime was committed, she is liable and can be convicted. To give an instance, Some time ago a certain robber was carried ont in a particularly daring and ingenious { manner. A hiisband and wile took a in a fachjonable neighborhood, | lived there for some time, and, pre- | sumably, were of good standing and position. ~ One day they went to a jeweler"s i and asked to see some good jewelery, Re- | as they wanted to make a present to thelr sister-in-law. They were shown several articles, but wished to see some better ones, and after deciding on the style of article they asked if some. could be sent to their home. The jeweler 'asked for their addrags, and upon hearing the fashionable lo- cality had no hesitation in sending them, The man arrived with the jewel- ery, was shown into a room, a favorable opportunity was chloro- formed by the wvoman, while his back was turned towards her. The band helped to tie the man up, and sent out on s)me pretext, returned, and as she could get no answer heard groans, she called the police, able to release the man. been a resident of Carleton Place, passed away on Sunday last, at the| ripe old age of ven years. | The deceased was in Wexford | county,' Ireland, and® came to country as a boy in 1841. On Yona] ship he met his fate, in the person of Miss Elizabeth Jenkins,whom he mar- ried ten years later at Easton's Cor- pers, and for sixty-five years they had lived together . the woman to all appearances did most of the crime, but even then it | would be for the jury to decide whe- | birds return to their original eaves, ther she was acting under the coer- cion of her husband or under his control. There is another interesting point which might be mentioned. That is, that the wife whose husband has to | her knowledge committed a serious {crime of the class known as felonies | {cannot be punished for sheltering | him and helping him to escape pun-| A Generous Act, Ottawa, Feb. 24.----M.
