two persons dressed as sportsmen and carrying guns on a piece
of ground which was covered with lucerne, went up to them
and demanded a sight of their port d'armes (game certificates),
at the same time informing them that they were committing
a trespass by shooting on ground on which there was still a
crop. One of the offenders instantly produced his port
d'armes, but the other, in a faltering voice, and with down-
cast bead, admitted not being provided with the document
in question. The companion,

with him was his wife, who had dressed herself in man's at-
tire to accompany her husband in the recreation of shooting,
of which she was very fond, adding that when he had applied
to the Prefecture of Police in Paris for a port d'armes for
himself, he had inquired if one was also necessary for his
wife, and was informed that it was not. The garde chanapetre,
not satisfied with this explanation, announced to the lady that
her fowlingpiece was confiscated, but without seizing it, and
having taken her address laid his complaint before the legal
authorities. The husband of 'the fair sportswoman, who is
an avocat of the Cour Royale of Paris, was present at the bar
of the Tribunal of Pontoise, to take his trial, as•was also his
wife, in the habilitnents of her sex. She defended herstlf
with great skill and elocution, observing that it was not with
a view to economise the paltry sum of 151. that she had re•
frained from taking a port d'artneg, but under the conviction
that a woman, who accompanied her husband in his recrea-
tions, could not legally be called upon to furnish herself with
such a document; and adding, that she thought it very strange
that, whilst women were denied the enjoyment of civic and
political rights, they should also be interdicted of those which
they inherited from nature, and which they were as competent
to exercise as men. The Avocat du Roi, in his address to
the Tribunal, said the law declared that any person found
sporting must procure a legal permission, and that there was
no exemption on the ground of sex. He calied for an inforce-
ment of the law, observing that at a time when certain females
were so anxious to adopt virile habits, it would be dangerous
to create in their favour an exception which the Legislature
had never sought to establish. The Tribunal acquitted the
