iz must be borte in mind that the law of England as of other coun tries prescribes a period (technically Known
as infancy) during which every young person is subject to the control of his or her parent or guardian or of a person in loco parentis, such as an adopted parent, the master or mistress of an ap- prentice, a school master and the! like. Such control is for the benefit of the young person, who, if allowed perfect freedom of action, might be led astray or suffer injury in various) way. The practice of adoption is recognised by the law of England, but it is not permitted to buy or sall persons la Chins the buying and selling of children is recognised but I do not think it should be called slavery, in its worst sense, as I understand the parchaver las no power of life and death and that ill treatment of the bought persons is an offence which is punishable, by the District Magistrate if brought

This quasi-servitude in soy event censes on the child attaining the age of 21, or if a female, upon marriage. In addition stringent provisions against kidnapping and procuration are in force. In this respect I think the local law is practically ap to date.
