OF justice might Suner, but the
Iact that she can turn the head OF
a member OF the supreme tribunal OF

ground on which their decision can be
excused IS the pIooaOle supposltlon that
they had been informed beforehand OF
her sex and were in the secret of the lit

they didn't let on, but, as we see in the
case Of the chief Justice OF Georgia, even
