ABSTRACT
The recent discussion in Paris upon the Bill on the election of the judges of the Tribunal of Commerce has excited much attention. M. George Roche moved as an amendment that women should have votes. As a woman may be a trader he said there was no pretence for excluding her from a vote on the formation of a tribunal before which her interests might be judged. Amidst much applause the Chamber voted that the amendment should be taken into consideration, bat the committee unanimously refused its adoption, and M. Roche withdrew it, but only on the ground that resistance would necessitate sending back the Municipal Bill to the Senate and delay its passing.
