That some influence over the girl exists
seems clear, but its exact nature will prob
ably not be asccrtained in court, as the
duty OF the Judge is simply to determine
whether the girl is of unsound mind or not.
1t is expected that Miss Nuttcr's counsel
will then endcavor to show that the girls
peculiarly morbid condition which leads her
to shun her former friends, is the result Of
Il peculiar illness. which cannot well be eX-
pluincl in open court in conjunction with
excessive shyneSs. On this ground he il
expected to claim that the girls acts are en-
tirey the result of her ailments, and that
she is of sound mind, and under no i'm
