A curious case, involving the light of n
father to dispose of his children by n ill at

l e pc.„ j ust been decided at Pittsburgh, Pa.
lee S Hannhim died in that city in Decem•
bee, killing a n idow, Margaretta. and three
children, aged nine. elect n, and thirteen
years. As tho husband was a Protestant
and the wife a Catholic, he appointed guar
dians for the children, by will. and directed
them to be brought up in Prott stout faith.
The children were accordingly taken from
the mother and placed at a Protestant school,
but the mother applied for a writ of habeas
corpus to recover them. Judge Williams, of
the District Court. decided, however, that
the power to constitute a guardian by deed
or will, attested by two oitnesses, given by
the statute of Charles 11. ch. 24, 14 as in force
in this State. This statute enacts that any
father, under ago or of full age. may by deed
or o ill dispose of the custody of his child,
either born or unborn, to any person except
a Popish rescuant, either in possession or
reversion, till su:li child attains the age of
one and I to enty yi ars. The will was there
