A LEGAL SOCKDOLAGER.
Let Us Work the Problem o,

Let Us Work the Problem Out.
Impressario Coughlin had his prima
donna, the mellifluous Minnie Huff ar
rested for grand larceny last night. The
charge is that she walked off from the
stage with masculine smalls and doublet
belonging to the impressarial wardrobe.
A nice legal question arises in this ar
rest. OF course Minnie was clearly
within the law in putting on the apparel.
whether for rehearsal OF performance. Ii
she refused to undress afterwards, and
walked off within the things that she had
legally put on, at what exact point does
the felony come in. At the refusal to
undress? A woman is not compelled by
law to undress. Suppose she had no
other things handy, it would be an act of
propriety for her to refuse. But suppose
that the impressario had availed himself
of the old law maxim, that one can take
his own wherever he finds it, and pro-
ceeded to seize his things, who would
have been responsible to the law for the
shock that would have been sus-
tanned by the public? Not Minnie,
surely. The naked facts might
have troubled her; but the impressario
would clearly have been responsible to
the law for the consequences to the pub
lie. If the law does not permit creditor
to levy upon ones personal effects in di-
rect and actual use, how can a prima
donna be held for larceny and stripped
OF the property, even if the quasi owner
ship is in another, when she placed it on
in the performance of professional duty
and in her legal right. She might be
pursued for contumacy, if the court had
ordered her to undress and she had re-
fused; but this would have been in the
nature OF civil proceeding. To force
her to undress, VI ct armis by legal pro-
| cess would in a case like this be rather
| uncivil and whilst we believe that Min
ME would have the right to redress, if
she thought fit, (even in case of misfit,)
the damages to the impressario could
Only be nil. There might also arise
nice question as to the legal identified.
ton OF the party attainted. Is, for in
stance, Minnie Huff when size is to all
intents and purposes Prince Fortunatus,
male or female? Answer us that,
"aye, marry, and perpend." There be
imbroglios in this extraordinary case.
