EVENING STAR. ‘LOCAL NEWS. ‘The Child Stealing Case Again. BABEAS COKPUS—HRARING BEFORE JUDGE Fie@ ER. to-day this cave again came up ‘udge Fisher, woen Ellen MoOall 4 peared in court with the cbild in ques: ‘Was attended by her counsel, E. E. and Gen. Terry. Immediately after the open img Of the court, Gen. T: asked leave io file an return. to ich Me.sts. Brent and Norris, the counsel tor the petitioner, did weet e. ‘The Return sets forth that Even McCall in 1861 began to live with a man named Garesche the ex the father, was bord, the name of the said child is Cora Anua ‘Garesche; im 1865 *he (Ellen McCall) went to hive in a house of ill-tume, kept bya woman named Somerville, in this city; that Aiken fre- quently came there and requested to have the care of the child; he trequently took the child Sway and brought it back again. She (respon- ent) frequently sent money and clothing to the child while in Mrs, Aiken's charge; Aiken frequently borrowed money from her and has never paid it back; that she has reformed and never intends to Again enter a honse of ill- fame; that —iken frequents houses of ill-fame and is not fit to have charge of the child: and further prays that she may bane further custo- dy of the child. ‘General Terry then read several letters from Mr. Aiken to Ellen McCall. in relation to the child's health, making affectionate inquiries about the child, stating frequently that Mrs. Aiken wished to see the child, &c. Mr. Brent, after stating that the ground on which this action is based is familiar to the ¢ourts of equity, said that the parent is not the Proper custodian of the child, and quoted from suthorities to define the jurisdiction of the court in this case. He would not interfere with the right of a parent to the care of a child, bat im this case he would show that, up to the time of filing this petition, this woran (Ella McCall) Jed a dissolute life, which would result to the smjury of the child. He stated that the power of disposition is vested in the Orphans’ Court, and argued thst unless the court was satistied that the woman really intended to reform. the court should pass an order tor the custody of the child, until the matter should come ap before the Orphans’ Court. He then filed ® motion to suppress the amended re. turn of the respondent as irrelevant and indecent. The return attacks the moral character of Aiken, but fails to exe anything against the character of Mrs. Aiken. who is a lady of refinement and educa- thon. Gen. Terry said that his Honor was not here #8 &superior to refer cases to the Urphans’ Court, but as a common Iaw judge to try a common Inw writ, without any equity power atall. This is simply an action to relieve an alleged restraint. All cases show that the Mother of an illegitimate child is its proper custodian. It is relevant to show that Aiken #s an unfit person to take charge of the child. Mr. Norris said that this was not a chancery case, but there 1s authority to show that when an infant is brought before a court of law the Judge should take charge of its interests in . respect. The question here is not whether Mrs. Aiken, but whether Ellen McCall ts a fit Person to bave the custody of the child. The Court said that it the child should be taken away, it ought to be remanded to the cus- tody from whence it came. It it was not shown beyond doubt that the respondent had abandoned her dissolute life, she of course would not be the proper custo. dian of the child. Gen. Terry snig that the witnesses to prove the reform of the respoudent had not been snuim- moned, and urged & continuance of the case, and thar im the meanwhile the child be left in cbarge of its mother. Mr. Brent argued against a conttuwance, and the Judge then ordered that the petitioner's | witnesses be produced. ‘The examination of witnesses wasia progress | When our report closed. —_+—__.
