AOUGIous CAsE--A MOTHER DENYIyG HgR OWN
CnILp.-Tbe Woonsocket PGfria relates the fol-
lowing singular circumstance, a. having trauspired
lately in Providence:-A child Of between four and
five years Of age has been spirited away from his
guardian, Mrs. c. II. Williams, by her daughter,
who it seems is Low married TO third husband,
and who, with her husband, h implicated In tho
transaction. The child IL called Lewis Cass De
Wolf, and Is the acknowledged child Of Lieut.. II. Dc
Wolf, Of Uxbridgc, and Amy, his wife iat was.
The cause of this atrocous act on the part of the
mother seems to be the fear that her mother might
make this little favorIte an heir TO the prejudice of
the daughter, who by series Of provocations has
entirely alenated the affections Of her parent, and
indee Of nearly all her former friends. IL tnere is
anything that can add to tho turpitudo Of this trans
action 1t is the declaration OF this Mrs. Pcopal that
the child Is not hers, but one shc pckci up in New
York, to impose on ber mother as a grandchild, IL
order to secure her property. Had this declaration
been made previous to Der last illfated marriage,
it might have been entitled to moro attention. but
il now looks Ike an attempt to deny her own child
in order TO favor her new husband and we think II
not entitled to any credit. We understand the child
is beautiful boy, with fair complexion, sandy hair
and has q rough mark behind the left ear, that
would designate him anywhere. We learn that
means are being taken to punish the kidnappcrs,
which, il there Is any security in writ OF habcas
corpus, should do 60.

tees of the church; that Bishop Carre refusing to
recognize them az such, has appointed other trus-
tees (made defendants as above), who have taken
possession Of the books and revenues Of tue church,
amounting to sore f4,500. Further, that up to
1852, the congregation has been in the hebt Of
eIecting school trustees; that ut that time Hcv. T.
khur, clergyman Of the congregation, appointed
other scbool trustees, and that tho trustees thus
appointed have commenced building school house
on the church lot, in place improper for tho pur
pose, unhealthy, and contrary 10 the wishes OF
largo po ton Of the congregation. The petitioners
3ray that defendants may DO restrained rom erect

The Dssenx,o,s or PRISONERS &C ssataon Houyes
TO rHs sDfrex or THs HER AID.
An ordin ance wAach has been retcfcre psssc
leral zinp the co1uasmess Of pvissners arrested IA
TIE cells of the vsrious stston houses to bo tuer
detained, has become the subject of much indscreet
use.
Iti.evident that tho only prop'r use which oou a
be made of this o. diusnce, as regards the commit
ment Of prisoners, would bs the cessary detention
Of the prisoner previous 10 his production before
magistrate At the earliest opportunity As the
prsotce, howeve, now unfortunately Is, prls ,ners
arc often detained for length Of tune in the cells
Of the station houses, aud not brought before ma
gistrate uutl their captors 6nd IL convenient or
agreeable 90 to do.
An instance of this kind oscurred very recently,
under my own observation. A prisoner, arrested
on suspicion Of arson. was detained nearly whole
night aAd almost the whole of the sue eedlng day,
IN the station house whore he was FIRST placed on
his arrest, without bringing him before any magis
srate for examination. Against this man not the
slightest room Tor suspicion exi.ted, and he was i'm
nedia'ely discharged upon being brought before
me. He had how. yer, the disadvantage OF haviag
been improperly d. tsined in custody for nearly q
whole Gay. The prisoner is thus deprived Of his
undoubted tight to be hea before a magistrate O.
the earliest opportunity, and is exposed to an unde
fired detention In the cell Of station house. no
cal ulased as q healthy soj,urn tor prisoner, be
yoDd the mere necessity Of detaiaing him for th
night, ii be Is arrested at an hour when no magis.
tIate Ia sitting.
Another Inconvenience arising from this practice
is the insecurity of the persoa Of the prisoner. Il
IL but few days since that Of two psrties de-
taioed at statiop house fugitive from Justice
charged with Q murder in PDiladelphia escaped.
Ii the better course of bringing this man before
magistrate, and making an affidavit had been pre-
ferred land be had been committed to the safe Gus.
tody Ct The sarden Il the city prison, his escape
would have been prevented.
an escape Of q similar nature Of person charged
with heavy offence, occurred very 70 entity, and
from TIE same cause-a prolonged and unnecessary
deteDti, n 10 the cell OF station house.
On the arrest OF prisoner, even il the evidence
is Lot complete, he shoulc, If magistrate is sitting
be brought before him. when, If just grounds of sus
picion exist. he can be committed for examine Hon
The rights Of the prsoper are thus preserved, and
the interests Of tire public guaranteed.
Tho present system has also the disadvantage Of
exposing party arrested. on suspicion to the err
rors of misjudgnent arising from the want Of ne.
cessa,y information In the persons controlling the
various station aouses, and whose opinion as to the
presumption of guilt or innocence On the part Of
the prisoner aud the propriety of OBTAINING him
for longer or shorter time, before producing him
before ma gistate is thus substituted in the place
OF the tribunal provided by Law.
