witnesses, and may for that purpose attest all papers; but they are
generally, not possessed of any political power; hence they cannot be
elected representatives of the people, nor be appointed to the offices of
judge, attorney at law, sheriff, constable, or any other office, unless
expressly authorized by law; instances occur of their being appointed
postmistresses nor can they vote at any election. Woodes. Lect. 31; 4 Inst.

above mentioned, to which single women are subject. Vide Abortion; Contract;
