GUARDIANSHIP OF MR. WELLESLEY'S

CHILDREN.

TO THE EDITOIt OF THE SUN.

Six—The public does not seem sufficieatly awake to the
awful stretch of despotism which the law has lately assumed
to itself with respect tollr. Long Wellesley 's children. They
410 not seem to be aware that it is a case which comes home
to every father and mother, of whatever rank or standing
in society they may be, that it is a tyranny which even the
most despotic Governments of ancient or modern times
never yet dared to enforce ; that it is a tyranny, in short,
which can tear the son from the father, the daughter from
the mother, mid violates the dearest and closest charities of
life, at the will of an arbitrary, and, we may almost
add,
an irresponsible legal authority. A few individuals, high in
rank and influence, acting upon a spirit of cant, which is
not unfrequently associated with the most headlong profli-
gacy, take it into their heads that a certain parent is un-
worthy the guardianship of his children ; to bear out the
opinion a vast deal of special pleading and perjury are put
forward. The unfortunate father, whose thoughtless, open,
and (we will give his persecutors the benefit of the epithet)
extravagant character, affords infinite facilities to attack, is
cried down as an abandoned profligate. Advantage is
taken of a solitary intrigue, for which, were the circum-
stances originating it fully developed, great allowances
might be made ; letters, penned in a style of thoughtless,
and even harmless levity, are tortured by adroit special
pleading into evidences of immorality, crime, and scep-
ticism ; and the whole swelled into one monstrous charge
of utter irreclaimable abandonment on the part of the per-
secuted father, is wound up by that father's being publicly
declared unfit for the guardianship of his children. The
absurdity of this transaction is yet to come. A high and
grave judicial authority sums up the question, and decides
against the father's claim, because he had asserted, in a
confidential letter, that his children and himself had a right
to gu to the devil their own way—which, taken in a preper
spirit of candour, is nothing more than a strong way of
saying, no one has a right to interfere between parent and
child.

I have thus stated impartially the case as it stands at
present between Mr. Wellesley and his opponents. An-
other grave question, however, arises out of it, which de-
serves the most serious, the most minute consideration.
The father, it is taken for granted, is deprived of his chil-
dren on a plea of immorality ; of course they are to be con-
signed to the custody of those whose lives, if not altogether
immaculate, are at least moral and virtuous by comparison.
Is this the case in the present instance ?
