child. Mr.. Evans then reviewed the facts of
history of this child Lottie Coslett and
strongly appealed to the court that these facts
showed that Mr.. Coslett was fully Justified in
behalf of the moral welfare of his child in
sending his daughter to the House of Refuge.
This institution is not penal one. 1t is only
reformatory. If there ever was case in
which reformatory institution was needed
this is one. Mr.. and Mrs. Spence, by the
evidence before the court had renounced their
guardianship Of this girl and what was to be
done with her.
Judge Russum said this was n flrst-class case
of step mother. He could not say who was
at fault. He had no doubt that the Female
House of Refuge was n reformatory institu-
ton. SO is the penitentiary. There are
numbers OF these reformatory institutions.
The purpose OF them is all right. But u
magistrate can not commit persons to them
because they would be better off. Some
offense must be committed to make such com
mitment legal. Incorrigibility is the ground
laid in this case. There was no evidence of
that in this case. The preponderance of testi-
mony was the other way. The Judge did not
express Il very high opinion of the educa-
tional advantages of reformatory institutions.
Until he rendered a final decision in the case
he would commit Lottie Cosett to the care,
custody and keeping of Mrs. James Baker of
North East
