Not illustrated. 1864 edition. Excerpt: ...for the tutelage and religious education of his children, and that after the father's death a hostile sect took possession of the children in defiance of the dead father's wishes--did Mr. Whiteside say what then would be the consequences in France? I believe the gang of conspirators would find themselves arraigned before a criminal tribunal. Let not my learned friend refer to foreign countries. In every country where Christianity was known, where the obligations of religion and morality were observed, it was the right of the Christian, and a solemn duty enforced by every religious creed, to provide for the education of his children in the faith which he beheved to be true. It was his duty to protect them from error, and direct their footsteps in the paths of virtue and truth. In no country in the world but in this, would a minister of God, who enforced on his penitent the performance of that sacred duty, be denounced as a relentless knave, or the dying man who listened to his exhortation be designated as a superstitious dupe. Mr. Whiteside having disposed of the French, favoured us with some English law. It struck him that there was something in the case so novel and startling that a little authority might be of some use. He ransacked his library and brought down his authorities, and when I shall draw attention to the case which he cited, and the parallel which he drew to a Catholic priest administering the rites of the Church to a dying patient, all present will be amazed at its absurdity and indignant at his injustice. Mr. Barry then proceeded to comment upon the case of Morton v. Relly, which had been cited by Mr. Whiteside from Eden's Meports, where a Methodist preacher had obtained an annuity of £50 a year, and other property
