IL she win, she will;


A WoMAN's FIRMNEss. "A case OF q
novel character recently occurred in The
United States Circuit Court OF Providence.
The Providence Courier SAYS "A young
lady of very interesting appearance, and
respectable character, was brought up by
the marshal for refusing to be sworn. and
to give her testimony before the grand ju.
~. Justice Story addressed her IN a very
eloquent ard respectful manner; and with
all The kindness OF o ia her, urged upon her
The duty and the necessity of persons CIV
ing testimony 10 promote the cause of jus.
lice, aud the public safety. He informed
her. that however painful to HIN. the law
left no discretion for him 10 exercise; and
that # she persisted in her refusal. the only
course he could pursue, was. to commit her
to jail, and 20 keep her there til she should
consent to take oath.
True to her wOman's nature, she replied
inst anter, and without hesitation. that she
would go 10 all rather than be sworn, and
was condemned accordingly. Il seems that
a young gentleman whose addresses she
was not inclined TO favor, had written her
two letters, which she suffered to remain
in the post flee. Another young gentle.
man took one of the letters from the post
Office and delivered 1t TO the lady. who re .
celved It with the seal broken and he young
lady wus summoned by the letter writer, as
witness against the letter BEARER, and
| from some cause hes, known TO herself, she
refused 10 make oath.
Since the above was in type, we learn
that The young lady has been liberated, and
had returned 10 her friends. - Boston Tram.
