a ROMANCEIN REAL LIFE---AFFECT-
ING SCENE IN COURT.

A very affecting scene took place in the
Supreme Court Chambers this morning
before Judge BARNARD, one which, for the
time, brought tears to the eyes of nearly
every spectator. Il appears about six years
ago one Mrs. BARRETT left a babe, named
EDWARD BARRETT, twelve days old, with
a woman, named Mrs. MCCABE. From
that time till now Mrs. MCCABE has brought
up, supported and educated The child.
The mother went South married again,
and after a lapse Of the above time, came
to claim her offspring. She asserted her
cause with all the elOquence Of mothers
heart. Mrs. MCCABE set forth that she was
tenderly attached to the child; that she had
expended a considerable sum in its behalf.
She also produced letters from an eminent
physician showing that the child had been
as Il were snatched from death. The little
boy, on being called on 20 go TO his mother,
chung to Mrs. MCCABE, and resolutely re-
fused 20 go 20 his real parent. This produced
quite scene. The mother, in heart-rend-
ing tone, exclaimed:
"Oh, Judgel Judge Don't give my
child away-my heart win break-it will
breakl"
Don't break the child's heart" tearfully
but energetically responded Mrs MCCABE.
The Judge, for a few moments, was evil
IDENTIFY embarrassed, but at length said;
AMY good woman TO the mother) your
case is a hard one, but your child is Of tender
age, delicate in health, and evidently at
tached to the people who have always
brought him up. III give him 20 you now,
and YOU take him South, he will surely die.
/ will let him remain where he is for one
year. BY that lime he will be stronger and
healthier; then, il you apply again, your ap-
plication may be granted"
Counsel for the mother then said that
Mrs. MCCABE had offered to give up the
child il she was paid $50.
This Mrs. MCCABE denied.
Judge BARNARD said that if SO were
wanted TO get the child back, the mother
should call on him, and he would give II to
her.

Mrs. MCCABE.
