In the Police Court to-day, Judge Snell ren- dered his decisions in the Mechlin assault cases. He said that in disposing of the five cases for assault by defendant on his three daughters, Charlotte, Annie and Willie—young ladies of the ages of 19, 17 and 15 years—he should he obliged to review the evidence some- what at apie and state brietly the principles of law applicable to the facts as they have been developed. The parental relation eon- fers the authority as it ereates the right of family government, as recognized in the com- mon law, which materially abridged the “pat- ria _potestas” of the old Roman law. While under the Roman law the father wielded the fearful power of life and death over his chil- dren, the common law conferred only the right to “chastise Tnogerntcyy The ten- deney of the times as indicated by ju- dicial decisions has been to soften ra- ther than inerease the asperity of the common law maxim. Under its influ- ence the right of the husband to chasiise the wife has disappeared, and in our public schools corporal punishments have given place | to better methods; but the right of the father to inflict moderate punishment unquestiona.,| bly stillremains. As tothe nght, and mode o! the exercise of the right of punishment. by the parent, Reeves, in his “Domestic Relations,” says that (he “true ground on which the right to inflict parental punishment ought to be piaced is that the parent ought to be considered as act- ing ina judicial capacity when he eorrecis ;and of course, not liable for errors of opinion; and although the punishment should appear to the triers to be unnecessarily severe, and in no measure proportioned to the offence, yet if it should also appeat that the parent acted con scientiously, and frem motives of duty, no vei dict ought to be found against him. But whe the punishment is, in their opinion thus unrea* sonable, and itappears that the parent acted m@oaninio, from wicked motives, under the influence of an vnsocia heart, he ought to be liable for damages. For error of opinion he ought to be excused; but for matice oy heart he must not be shielded from the just claims of the law 2 child.” Did the defendant act from conscientious con- vielions ef duty, or from bad temper and un- worthy motives? In fact was he not in his heort cherishing malice toward his ehildre: Me imine this uestion we naturally lool at the circumstances attending the punishment in all these cases; the nature ef the offences committed by the children ; their age, sex, physical strength to endure punishment look also to the instruments emple : ge of their suitableness for the end in view. We. find the subjects of these assaults to be young jadies of manageable age. We find no at tempis at defiance.or contempt or authorily: but on the contrary, a timid submission.

Keese (who was reported to have eloped with Andrew J. Kellar, a gro- | cer, at the corner of 10th and Q streets, about | the latter part of February.) has returned to this city. Learning yesieriay that Mr. and Mrs. Kéese were at the Tremont house, hav- ing arrived on the previous day, a STARK re- porter called on them. Mrs. Keese is a large woman and quite good looking. After stat- ing that she was sorry that such stories had been put in circulation about her when there | was no ground for them, she said she wished it stated that her leaving home had nething whatever to do with Kellar’s leaving; that Kellar left on the 25th of February and she left on the evening of the 2%h:that the last she had seen of him was a week previous to his leaving, and she had not seen nor heard of him since, nor did she know of his where- abouts. She denies that she was ever on inti- mate terms with Kellar, and states that she dealt at his store, but did not go there oftener than once ina week or two, Sometimes Kel- | lar would deliver goods at her house in per- son, but that this wasseldom the @ase. It was true that she left without her husband’s knowl- edge, and at the time she did not intend to return and therefore took her little girl with her. Having a sister living at Lamoiie, Michigan, whom she had ‘not seen for several years ‘she determined to pay her a visit. For sometime past, owing to the inteiference of some outsiders, she had not been on the best of terms with her husband. On the evening of February 2sth, having about an hour before that time seen her hus: band, she with her little girl took passage on the 9:50 train, and went to New York. he left a note at the house for her husband relat- ing to business matters and household affairs.

She states that had it not been for the damaging reports which have been put inc culation she would not have thought of re. turning, but conceived it her duty to set her- self right.
