STATE v. GRAY

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Dec 1, 1806

Females are entitled to the benefit of clergy.

From Hillsboro.

BY THE COURT.

No reason can at this day exist why females shall not be entitled to the benefit of clergy, as well as males. We are therefore of opinion that the defendant is entitled to the benefit of clergy, upon praying the same to be extended to her.
