Excerpt from The Separation of Mother and Child by the Law of "Custody of Infants," Considered The result of this tacit admission by law, of an individual right so entirely despotic, (the assertion of which can only be called for in seasons of family disunion and bitterness of feel ing), is exactly what might have been expected. Instances have arisen from time to time in which the power has been grossly and savagely abused. It has been made the means of persecution, and the instrument of vengeance: it has been exerted to compel a disposition of property in favour of the husband, where the wife has possessed independent fortune: it has been put into force by an adulterous husband to terrify his wife from proceeding in the Ecclesiastical Courts against him: in short, there is scarcely any degree of cruelty which has not been, practised under colour of its protection.
