Sir Thomas Inskip, K.C., con- tinuing his argumente on behalf of the society, said that the point of paramount importance was the welfare of the child. There seem- ed no doubt that it should have

The magistrate (Mr. Graham Campbell) fined Mrs. Chasemore £15 on each of three summonses for selling liquor without a licence. He also made an order, striking the club off the register and disqualify ing the premises for use as a club

Lord Hewart, in his judgment, said that the ecurt had no concern with the merits of any particular religious faith. The only question was whether Mr. Justice Charles exercised a proper discretion when he decided that the right thing was to leave the child where it was with its new parents.

During the last decade, however. the law had changed with regard to that matter. Now it was not al- ways the parents' wishes that count- ed. The paramount question seem ed to be the welfare of the child.
It would appear that, even if the child was handed back to the mo ther, she would not be able to pro- vide for it, and it would go into a charitable institution. The argu-kopt. ment had been advanced that in the circumstances it was better for the little girl to have the intimate care and control of adopting par eats in a good private home.
He thought that there was great force in that argument, especially BB the child was a girl. He also remembered that the mother quite willingly gave up her child to poo ple of Protestant faith. In the circumstances he decided that the judgment of Mr. Justice Charles should be, affirmed and the appeal should be dismissed.
