Only edition. Mary Saurin Sister Mary Scholastica Joseph brought a case against her superior and another nun for assault and conspiracy to drive her from her convent and have her expelled from the order. Known as "the great convent trial" it was a sensational case that fueled contemporary prejudices against Catholics monastic orders and women. These themes are apparent in the Solicitor-General's opening remarks. This case shows "what women were capable of when they shut themselves up from their kind and did violence to the instincts of their nature and the great though mean and petty cruelty they could wreak upon a sister in the name of a religion of love" 2. The jury found in favor of the defendants on the counts of assault and for the plaintiff on the counts of libel and conspiracy to have her expelled from the convent.
