## Opinion text

BbowN, J.,
dissenting: I concur in tbe opinion of tbe Court except as to tbe conclusion tbat tbe position of notary public is a public office. Therefore, I bold tbat a woman may well fill such place.
While I think tbe weight of authority is tbat it is a public office, there is some decided conflict of opinion upon tbe subject, and as I think it is a position a woman may well fill, I do not agree to tbe judgment rendered.
