Novel Child Case.

Court of Common Pleas-Jt,dae Allison.
In the case Of Sarah E. Booth VS.. Mary A. Van
Allen, which was q motion for the revocation OF a
decree of adoption Judge Allison this morning de.
livered an opinion granting the motion.
The child in question: which was illigitimate was
placed with Mrs. Van Allen, for nurture, by the
father, n Mrs. Van Aliens brother, who had agree
with the mother to adopt 1t into his family so soon
his wife. He resided in Iowa, and the mother in
Indiana Without notice to either OF these Mrs. Van
Allen, living here petitoned the court for decree
permitting her to adopt the child, stating that 1t had
been abandoned in Chicago by the mother, who was
totally unable to support 1t.
This being discovered by the parents, proceedings
were at once instituted to have the decree revoked
on the ground that IL was obtained by fraud. The
matter was referred to a master, who reported in
favor OF the petition Exceptions were taken to the
Walter b. Mitchell, ESQ.,, for the mother, and Edw.
H. Well ESQ.,, for Mrs Van Allen.
In his opinion Judge Allison said the Court was
fully convinced OF the correctness Of the masters
report for Mrs. Van Allen had not only made repre-
sentations to the Court which were not accurately
true, but had concealed facts we'll known to her,
and highly proper to be stated to the Court
in support OF such petition as she
presented She had led the Court to
believe that the child was poor, neglected, suffer-
nobody else than Mrs Van Allen interested In 1t
whereas, in TRUTH both parents highly respect
able, in good circumstances, able to rear the child
in the best possible manner and having the tender
est affection for IL.
She had not ntimated that the father OF the child
was her brother, which was very Important fact
bearing upon the question OF notice. She had
otherwise imposed upon the court, else the decree
OF adoption never would have been granted.
Abundance OF evidence was produced to show how
the rights OF the parents had been dsregarded by
her, and she had not been able TO meet IL.
The decree OF adoption was reversed.
