St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1870-03-25

The first performance of jury duty 10y
women, in Wyoming, appears to have
tested pretty severely their powers of en-
dnrance. They only reached verdict
after being locked up four days and nights.
1t is added that ''Ihe ladies of the .Iury
were much iatigued ;''and it may possibly
have occurred to them that this tu!l en-
Joyment of their rights had not proved to
he pure enjoyment. How their bghig,
were cared for during their detention OF
over ninety hours in the jury room, is
not stated.
