An interesting habcas corpus case
was argued before the supreme court at
Burlington last week which involves
parties formerly of Fer1isburgh. Mrs.
Celia Trean sought TO recover custody
of her son Moses, who had been given
to the Home at Burlington by the town
of Ferrisburgh, when Mrs. Trean be-
came a charge in 1878. Two years ago
the boy was adopted by Mr.. Dickinson
of Williamstown and the boy has become
much attached to his foster parents, as
they have also TO him. There are some
fine legal points to be settled by this
case, but public sympathy is strongly
in favor Of the boy and his foster par
ents, as it is evident he will be so much
better off where he is than he would be
if returned to his mother, who is with
out means to support him and under
whose training his education and NOR
ais would, it is thought, be defective.
The decision of the court was reserv-
ed.
