chat II there were nc Iancing women III
tae Pag0das, they wouiG DE deserted; and
that the advantages OF nLvinS them Ia, the
Puyodas was this, that persons coming to
the Pagodas 10 near lnese women eng
are attracted by the ceremonies OF the
worship, and become devoted TO the Del
ty to which the Pagods Is dedicated. -
Their songs In the PaSodas are generally
OF an obscene nature; many indeed winch
they sing oefOre European Ladies and
Gentlemen are equally 50, where the wo-
men are not warned against singing such
songs before hand.
Inc following is taken from Decree
passed In one of lne lillian Courts, by the
Judge, ina case which hau some refer
ence to the subject oi TINS letter.
The two girls in question were pur-
chased for the purpose Oh bringing tneru
up to her the rlalntlff's) own procession
as prostitute, such purchase the Court
could not confirm. Neither nave parents
q right to dispose OF tneir offspring, nor
has any one TO purchase cnildren, Tor 50
infamous purpose. such cases are odlous
subjects OF litigation to come before the
Courts of yudlcature, but whenever SUCH
cases do come before this Court consider
Itself bound to declare sucn enslayement
to be null.
Tae light of nature and of reason teach
es Us that the power Of parent over his
for her) female child does not extend SO
far as to authorize his Tor her) selling her
to bawd TO be brought up as prostitute.
The power which parent enjoys over
his tor herr being parent, In as much as
il accrues " hun TOR her) as necessary
means of oischarglng the obligation to-
wards his Tor herr Issue which nature lays
upon him TOR herr Is only as sufficient to
answer and effect that design. Now the
obligation or duty OF parent, as such,
chiefly turns ON this general performance
that he Tor shs) duly educate his Tor herr
children, that Is nourlsh, protect, inform,
and govern them, in order to the render
inC mem useful 10 themselves and others
till they are able to consult their proper
benefit, and are Arown masters OF their
own wills and actions. 1t is plain then
that the power of the parent doth by no
means resch to SO extravagant a degree
rs that he tor shel may sell mis- (or merry
child to bawd to be brought up to the
execrable professions of prostitution no
more than he Tor she) can expose 1t, or
make away with 1t.
Where parents may have abused their
power by the unjust oppression of their
children, and by choosing for them pro-
fession, watch is contrary to honesty and
decorum, it would be breach of wisdom
and Justice to compel children to mode
OF life or pro ession which is either base
or sinfal, SO that even it the said chill
dren had not become free persons by the
death of - --, whose name the
deeds of sale of them are written, they
could be considered so by the court, on
the principles OF the Law Of Nature and
Reason"
