the d-'fi hdant, to keep the ponce in the sum .f five
hundred elollars, ami, wonderful l. relate, directs
the eomplainmt to pay the. coats of the proceeding.
It is to the course of reasoning, upon which thi
anomalous jui'gmen! is founded, lh.it our attention
is to It directed. "If," says the learned judge, ' ilv
pros color was acting within tho line of hi duty
ho ought nut to pay costs ; if lie h is interfered with

ri-ion follows accordingly, and the complainant j
ir sentenced to pay the costs.
I agre-e that the act of Assembly, of 2Sth M irch
It 11, authorizes the court, in ciscs ..f (surety of the
pea -e, to direct the deft nJant, the pMM-culor, or
the county to p 15 the costs : Init I presume ilii
is the fnst ca-e in which that authoiily was ever
rxeiciscd in this way. If the charpo h id I ecu
frivolous, or unsupported, Ihe costs might, with
pi rf ct propriety, have been i-nposrd upon the pro
secirnt. U it had been brought through cimr or
miconcep'ion, the county should have borne them ;
but I cannot conceive upon what possible piinclple
or const'iiclion of the Act of Assembly, the pro
priety of tho clnrge can bo mstaincd hy the judtic
and at the same lime the complainant snhje'tid to
costs for hnvirp; ventured to make it.
Wiihi.ut denying the power of the judge to do so,
the justice of its exercise seems tome to he veiy
questional 1c. Some little light is shed upon this
subject by analogy. The Act of Assembly, ngu
biting the verdict of juries, in e.rcsnf ini.-dcnn an.T,
jirovidi-a thil in the event of an acquittal, the jury
inay determine whether the cmin'y, ttie prosecutor,
c the defendant shall pay the c s's. Put in ea-e
of conviction, the costs fall on the defendant of
ronrsc. It matters not what mny have him the
(irovoculion. The provocation in fornUli aoine
reason why the verdict ofguil'y theuld not pass,
but it fuini-hes no reason w hy the costs should not
follow it, having pssscd. No, if the preseivation
of 'lie peace, required the binding over of the party
the law vindieatea (be charge, and certainly it does
not infiicl a penalty upon the individuil who pre
fers i'.
This, however, is but a matter of little concern,
in comparison with the adoption of those princi
ples upon which the judge ventures to assert, that
tiic rights of the father were violated by the bap
tism of the child. I agree that tho parent has the
control over the child, and may diiect its education
or employment, and deiive the product of both
duiin? minority ; but I deny that he has any right
to interfere in any mailer of conscience or religion.
The laws nf f!od can neiiher bo annulled nor im
p;'(!e,l by the mere aitilicijl or technical nibs nf
civil society. No Iruman luw is obligatory, thnt is
opposed to the laws of (iod. IVo father has the
powir to compel his child to worship in opposition
to that child's conscientious conviction. There is
no minority in religion, that imparls to Ihe faiher
any such right, "duller little children to come un

One of the most remnrksble cases of in
