The Retort Legal.

Sometimes the law seems unjust
for the reason that it isn't compre-
hended," said judge. Take the case
of the woman prisoner before Sir Ed
ward Coke This woman appeared in
court with her hat on. The judge said
sternly:
"a woman may be covered in
church. but not when arraigned in
court of justice
ITO this the woman replied:
at seems singular that l may wear
my hat in the presence Of God. but
not In the presence of man.
"And she would appear, in her legal
ignorance, to have got the better OF
the argument until Sir Edward Coke
retorted:
at isn't singular at all. Man, with
his weak intellect. cannot discover Sc
crets known to God, and therefore in
investigating truth the court must see
all obstacles put aside. Accordingly
1t is fitting that the prisoners hat bt
removed and with it the shadow tina
1t casts on her face"
