MONTPELIER
Charles Predix Discharged in Court
Case Mol Pressed

ing, having pleaded not guilty, ana the
case against him was mol pressed.
Judge Lord stated, in discharging the
man, that there was no evidence that
he had neglected to send his child to
school and that the matter OF the child
not being properly clothed, when ne
appeared in school, was beside the
question; which, in short, makes rui-
ing that a child cannot be subjected to
penalty because Of that fact. The child
appeared in court warmly and suffi-
GENTLY dressed Mr.. Predix stated that
his child had been called German and
that the child had not been properly
treated in school. As a matter Of fact,
he himself had served IA years in the
American army and his father had
fought in the Rebellion. The court also
said this was beside the question at
issue and then gave the boy some
sound advice, telling him that he must
attend school or that he would be
brought into juvenile court. 1t appears
that the child had been away from
school without the fathers consent;
therefore, there was no ground for
the complaint against the father.
