A HINDOO WOMAN LAWYER.
The report of a Hindoo woman lawyer conducting the defence in a murder trial at Poona is a story to make the best young legal women of America green with envy. None of them has as yet obtained the distinction of a murder case, and here is Miss Lorabji, who took her degree at Oxford, England, only three years ago, triumphantly clearing her client of the ugly charge. Miss Lorabji is the only woman lawyer in Asia. She is not allowed to practice in the courts in the native states, but Poona is in British territory.
