District, was before Justice johnson to answer
the complaint Of Mr.. Frederick Depro that
she had inflicted cruel punishment on the per-
son OF his son. a boy of six years. The alleged
whipping is charged to have been committed
on Wednesday last and was not denied by
MISS Duvall, who stated that the punishment
was inflicted for using profane language in the
school room. The boy was before the Justice,
and an examination was made, which showed
that the boy had been pretty smartly handled.
1t was remarked by some in the Office that
the marks would not have been visible had
not the boy on the day in question had on thin
pantaloons. The blows were inflicted with a
ruler, and the parts visited were black and
blue.
manual Of the schools was referred to. by
which it appeared that corporal punishment
is authorized to be used in the schools.
The Justice decided that the teacher in the
school room had the right to inflict corporal
punishment, but in this case he deemed the
punishment excessive. If the boy deserved
a bad boy, it would have been better tor her to
have conferred with the parents or have
ported the scholar to the trustees for dismissal.
He held her to bail to keep the peace.
