JUSTICE FOR CHILDREN.

Mr.. ELBRIDGE 7. GRERY would deny to
innocent children and to victimiZed parents
the right accorded to the meanest criminal
the right Of appeal from the commitment
Of a Police Justice which now sends the
unprotected little ones to irrevocable sepa-

With what an Asscmblyman well called
" malignant philanthropy" this insolcnt
bureaucrat has inspired an attack upon the
bill granting the right of appeal, on the
plea that ii would send back to infamy
those children who nave once been taken
from the snares of an evil life" This
sounds like Aminadab Sleekism run wild.
What reason is there for the insulting
charge that the Judges of the Supreme
Court would do this thing? Are the Police
Justices alone infallible2 Is Mr.. GERRY,

Judge BARRETT has characterized as Eau
