ABSTRACT
We have been so often told that if women aspire to the privileges of citizenship, they must also take tip its burthens, and that one of these burthens being the duty of serving on juries, this liability is of itself sufficient to show the incapacity of women for public functions of any kind that the following extract from the Woman's Journal, Boston, will be read with special interest. It is consolatory to find that American ladies do not find the liability to be summoned as jurors, an insuperable obstacle. It will be remembered that the suffrage was extended to women in Washington Territory last January.
