A FATHER AGAIN DErRIvED OF HIS CHILD.
Our readers will recollect that at the recent
session Of the Supreme Judicial Court in Au-
gusta, Judge Wells delivered his opinion upon
the exceptions taken by DR.. Richardson's coun-
sci, fully sustaining them. The consequence
was tha, the child mus. be returned, or bond
of $40, 900 paid. The child was not returned
during the session Of the court, and DR.. R.
commenced prosecution for damages on the
bond. After considerable delay, says the Hal
lowell Gazette, Mrs. Farnswor,h came forward
and solicited settlement of the damages with
the promise that the child should be returned,
agreeably to the requirement of the law, which
had been boldly Sc, at defiance hitherto. DR..
R. in spirit Of generosity consented to very
low estimate of costs, and appearances indica-
ted success in recovering his child. He re-
Iinquished just claim for heavy damages in
view Of the prospect of speedy settlement. A
complete game of deception was prac,iced up
on him. ig
Wednesday last the child was brought here,
carried TO the house Of DR.. r. followed by an
officer, and without the father having possess
sion of it, or its being taken from the officers
control, was again carried off on a writ of re-
plevin in the name Of Mrs. Farnsworth.
If such tantalizing with the affections of a
father for child be justice, we pray To be de-
livered from the meshes Of such law. The
Gazette then adds DIR. R. is now obliged, if
the above game is endorsed by law as just and
fair, to prosecute his claim year or two lon
ger. He has thus far taken no other than fair
and honorable means to obtain his child he
has descended to no trickery which he might
have done, and no officer would have found it
an easy task to carry the child off the second
time--he had but to speak the word, and a
whole community was ready with its aid. But
he did not do it. lie expects law and justice
will accomplish the end desired. We must
confess the two agents in which he places con-
6dence sometimes get so far apart, and their
decisions are so easily evaded when they 60 to-
