MeTLENACHAN, Clerk, From the minutes. The Case of Jane T:ainer, the Colored Child —Disappearance of her Father, SUPERIOR COURT—IN CHAMBERS, Bef Hon. Judge Duer. _ May 16 ~The People vs Rowe Por'er.—The proceedings | in this case were resumed at 3 o'clock P. M. Mr. Culver said he had other witnesses to prove the character of Mes. Porter, and the character of the house | No. 101 Mezcer street, where she now resides, and where | she keeps this child,unless counsel on the other side would admit these allegations, to save time. dir. J. T Brady said that when witnesses were produced he would not object to their being examined. Mr. Brady then proceeded to argue that this was an application by a er to obtain. in that capacity, the custody of his al- leged infant child To establish his right he must show that he is the father, that the child way born in lawful wedlock and thatthe party in custody of the child has no right to retain it. If the petitioner does not affirms- tively establish bis right conformably to these require ments the child must be remanded to the custody of Mea. Porter. The basis of the whole proceeding is taken away if the relator have no right. The child bas free will, and is entitled to exercise it as to remaining with Mrs. Porter, and it expresses a itrong desire to remain with her. There is nothing to show that its comfort or morality will be otheraine than much promoted by leaving it with Mrs. Porter; and even if Mrs. Porter was an improper per son to retain the child, that does not justify takiog it from her by writ of habeas corp’. He (Mr Brady) would prove that this lady has paid her passage to Cali fornia for the 20th of this month, where she goes on a promise of marriage, and to which free State she intends to take this child, and where she could not, even if she were disposed, reduce it to slavery. ‘Ihe fact is there is ‘an attachment between her and the child equal to that which vouldexisteven if itwere herown It does not necessarily follow that when women stray from the paths ot virtue that they lose a'llove or affection for every human being. Om'the contrary, it is too much love that seduces ther to their unheppy position. This lady had adopted a boy, which is now receiving a good education. and she has taken another child, a female, from filth and degradation; and if moralists devired the opportunity of exercising their philanthrophy they would fod many a child in this city to take from the bondage of infamy and prostitution, if the want of color was no objection ‘his child i+ rot shown to be under any restraint whatever. The contrary clearly appears. There is no evidence of any intention to subject the child to bondage. The proof is, that itis now free and that it is to be taken to a State where it will continue to be free. If it be given upto the father, and he takes it to Mobile, would be reduced to bondage, the mother being a Mr. B. referred to the laws of Alabama, ‘The petitiover in this case has not proved the facts entitling him to the custody of the child; he is not a com- petent witness, the proceeding is for his direct benefit. No marriage is proved by him, for the statutes of Alabama require marriage, even between free white people to be solemnized by licensed officials or ministers, and under special qualifications. There is no evidence of the solemnization of marriage between the petitioner and Emma, the slave woman; such a contract requries the consent of two persons capable of contracting, and in this instance, the mother being a slave, had no capacity to contract without the consent of the owner. [He again referred to the laws of Alabama) Mr. Brady admitted that this lady once lived in a state thet could not be cal'ed virtuous; but she had abandoned her course of life. She never was @.common prostitute, though she lived with a man as his wife, He repudiated the idea that the child was to be taken into slavery. He for one would not lend bis aid to this respondent if it were to be so; yet he would not for the salvation of » whole race endanger the Union. The Judge—So then, by the laws ot Alabama, if those people continue their race it must be by the violation of morsel aod divine laws Mr. bea led it appears. Mr. Brady concluded by calling on the Court, for its own satisfaction, to examine the child, in order that her feelings and wishes might be secertained, The Judge said the first question to be determined was if Trainer is the father of the child and entitled to her custody. The inclinations of the child would not alter his ri but if it becomes # question of discretion as to woe custody the Court sball order her then he would examine her. It is certainly an important con. sideration for the Court that if this child is taken back to Alabema to a slave mother she in.
