The latter, rather a tine looking boy, testified that he was in the employ of the Patent O1ii co; that yesterday afternoon, after ilaving received his pay and made a deposit in bank, he left tha book in the care of Dr. Clever; that his father | Struck him, and threatened that Dr. ©. would | get himself into trouble. The witness testified that he supported himself and his father too; | that bis father took all monay except that he paid for bis board, and he had threatened to send him to the reform school. Dr. Clever cor- | Toborated the witness’ statement, and further | thought that it was not sate for the boy to live | with the father. Adriaans, er., mvte a lengthy tatement as to what he had done for the boy, arning him French, English, &c.; that he had | spent the money, played cards, ran after girls, Xe. He also produced a postal card written by | the son, telling him to look out for himself, anit said that he simply took him by the collar.’ Dr Clever stated that the detentant beat the boy | with both hands. The boy further stated that his father on one occasion beat him with 4 block of woos after he had gone to bed, and nd the pirior, ikicking him. He also stated that the father accused him of stealing $10. but that money he had earned | himself, and had used it in his own support. dudge Snei! said the circumstances of the parties were weli known to the court; the law provided that parents cou!d correct their chil- dren, but in @ reasonable minner. It was apparent that the boy had the right to seek the ' | profane | interposition of the court, and the court would interfere so far as to give protection, and wonld require the defendant to give bouds to keep the peace.
