"3. Should the common law remedies fail, resort may perhaps be
had to the powers in Chancery under Talfourd's Act, but on this
point I should like to confer with an equity counsel before
giving a decided opinion. It has been decided under this Act
that the court has power to give the custody of children under
seven to the mother. (Shillito v. Collett, 8, W. R. 683-696.) As
this infant is but six weeks old it comes within that case.
"4. I have no general advice to give on behalf of the infant.
"ADOLPHUS STIGMA,
"9, Plumtree Court."
If none of the courses suggested by Mr. Stigma was very decided,
Messrs. Roundhead, Roundhead and Lollard were not sorry to have
three strings to their bow. The Detectoral Association
were good clients; most of their funds went into their lawyers'
pockets. It was part of their policy to be litigious. Thereby
the world was kept alive to the existence of Papacy within its
bosom. Who shall say the Association were wrong? Some healthy
daylight was occasionally let in upon the mysteries of Jesuitism,
and there are people who think that worth while at the risk of a
chance injustice. Though the Devil should not get his due, few
would give him any sympathy.
