Susan B..

Some of the stron3-minded of
Rochester, New York, have held an
indignation meeting over the action
of Judge Hunt in the case of Susan
Il. Anthony. Among the charges on
which they arraign his Honor, are his
denying her the right of trial by jury;
refusing to permit her counsel 20 ad-
dress the jury in her behalf; refusing
to allow the jury to be polled direct
ing the clerk to enter a verdict of
guilty, without consulting the jury f;
and writing an opinion against her
before he came to court, or had heard
the evidence or arguments of her
counsel. The women propose to petit
ton Congress to reverse the judy
ments against Miss Anthony and the
inspectors of election, and they de-
nounce Judge Hunt as an unjust
Judge, and a dictator who is a shame
and disgrace to the bench.
