prisoners box. He entered n plea of |
not guilty to charge of criminal NAL
Practice upon Rose Haughey on August |
g4th. Then his counsel desired to have
~. Quinn sit near him. Deputy
attorney-General Peter l.. Cooper,
Dr.. who conducted tho prosecution,
said he had no objection in the present
case to allow the prisoner to sit renr
ms counsel. but it would be a bad
precedent as it might result in filling
up the bar and interfere with the trial
OF cases. The court held that in cases
OF felony it is customary for the
prisoner to remain in the box. Judge
Spruance recalled that in Dover tho
court had with some reluctance refused
to permit u woman, charged with
larcrny, to sit within the bar and out
side Of the box.
