U A queer illustration of " women's
rights" happened in Boston last week.
A young man was tried on the chargs of
stealing lady's gold ring, who, in her
testimony, stated it had been presented
to her by her husband, who is living il
the country. Upon this admission, the
defendants counsel asked for the dis
charge of his client, upon the ground that
the property should have been charged
in the indictment as belonging to the
husband aforesaid, and, after some de.
bate the Judge sustained the objection,
and the prisoner was discharged.
