Decision of 1842 Fails
Preacher Who Refused
to Give Up Child.
RULING SHOWS
WOMAN'S PROGRESS
No Longer Slave. Says Shearn,
as He Upholds Agreement
Over Custody of Lad.
"But tbs world has moved sine*
18 t"J.'* ?.aid Justice Shearn in a decision
yesterday.
It will be moved still further to-day
by the judicial dirtutn of Justice Shearn
that woman may marry arid ?till re?
main on a parity with her husband, for,
BS the court say?), she is no longer a
I slave or a chattel.
The Rev. Burton Lee, formerly chap
? lain at Sins Sing Frison, refused to
surrender the custody of his four and
? a half-year-old son to his wife after
they separated, although there was an
agreement that he should have their
eight-year-old son and Mrs. Lee the
younger boy.
Mrs. Lee swore out a writ of habeas
I corpus, and Justice Shearn yesterday
; upheld the claim of the wife ?o the
'? custody ot* the child, dismissing the
' heretofore accepted theory that the
. father has a paramount claim over the
. children of a marriage.
"It is claimed that a father BBS the
; paramount right to the cus'ody of a
child," said the court. This was the
i theory on which ?.lr. I.e.. refused t
carry out the terms of the agreemen
with his wife.
"Once thi:? wa.? the ?aw." he con?
tinued, "but we have emerged from the
dark age? during which married women
had the status of slaves and chattels.
The only basis for the father's alleged
superior right to-day is his obligation
'to support his children. This basis
disappears when one consider? what
the mother gives to her children in
suffering, s.-if-sacrifice and devotion.
<>:; any admeasurement of ruth's deter
raiasd by service rendered, the right of
a mother to the custody of her children
il st '.cast equal to that of the fathjr.
, The real test should be the welfare of
. the child."
Mr. Lee, in refusing to live up to the
1 term? of the agreement with hia wife,
argued that the covenant was not valid
and not binding on him, bas.ng his
contention on the case of the People
ex rei. Harry against Mercein, wherein
it wa? held that the father could not
by agreement alienate to his wife the
?? ; itodjf of their children.
"That ?-.? lauad law when the Mer?
cein ease was decided In 1?4_,'' laid
Justice Shear?*.. "In determining
-??hethiT the Mercr-.n case has any
binding force to-day, we must have
regard for tha changed status of a
wife in the ?yes of the law to-day as
compared with IMS.**
The justice quoted from the Mercein
case decision: "The very being and
legal ex stance of the woman la sus?
pended during the marriage, or, at
'.f_r?r, ?S separated and consolidated
::,?.) that of the husband. Their rela?
tive power over the per?on of the child
follows in consequence. A man can?
not grant anything to in? wife, or
?BtSI into a ?...venant with her, for the
grant would be to suppose her separate
existence, and to covenant with her
would be only covenant with himself."
Continuing his 1916 op mon on the
crurt decision of 1*42, Justice Shearn
said: "But the world has moved since
lt-2. It is not to be believed that to?
day any enlightened court would sub
Mr.be to the statement that 'the very
being or legal existence of 'he woman
Il luapeadsd during the marriage, or,
at least, is separated SBd MBBOUdated
into that of the husband." By the ex
praai of ia? Legislature the w.fe can
at least contract with her husband the
same as If unmarried, except that they
cannot alter or dissolve the marriage
and she cannot release him from his
oblifatioa to support her."
Justice Shearn sustained the rlaim
of Mrs. Lee for the custody of her
child under the agreement with her
husband, which also provided that Mr.
Lee is to have tho boy with him for
week ends, which r.ght is given Mrs.
Lee ?n regard to the older son, who is
m 'he custody of the clergyman. Mrs.
Lee accapttd |12 a week alimony.
Suffragists Say Shearn
Has Cut Another Bond
"She and I are one, and I am that
one."
This i? the way anti-suffrage hus?
bands reason, it ?s tsaid tn the course
of every good suffrage speech. Th<*
law on which the women based this bit
of ?ari-asm war- the law Jostles Shearn
knock?-?! into a cocked hat last night ;-.
his decision in the Lee case. Thor-1
may have been ? r;ign or two over the ;
paaaing of thai dear old jok?, but r
**a*B?r_M the suffragist.- wars pleased
sad grateful last night.
"It rtallj* 1'iok?. a- if we were nt?
? ng rmaneipaUd after all," .aid Mrs.'
Ibci Milhollaad Boissevain. "In the.
beginning women could not make con-,
?r;?.*;? at sIL Then they were able to1
make labor contract? with persons out-'
:de their own home, though they could
not contract with their hu-bands. Tha'.
rule holds good to-day. I believe. 1 re?
member that a wife cannot sue B< '
husband for wages. e\en though he ha*
agreed ta pay them, because her ?( r
rico? b-loBS "... bita, bbtws**. Thi
decisior. ..f Justice Shsaras la rarj im

principle, and r?*_?fJB?S-1 the right .. *
a wom-?i to contract even with her hi;
band She arid he are really getting to
be two individuals ir.-tcad ot ore _? ?
that one he."
"A worthy judge and an enlighten.-i
one!" cried Mrs. James Lees LaidUw
when -he heard the good new?. "We
I '.i-..:, are certa.nly glad to have a
?i.ampion now and then. Ju?t:c
.-?hearti':- derision really mark? a n<
er? in our AgBt, another triumph tor
latiea for women."
Mr-r. Harriot StaatOfl Match's mind
jumped to practical things at once.
"Hurrah for Justice Shearn"" sh ?
crnd. "I hope he goe., to Albany. Jut*. ,
g;\e the women the \ote and we'll pat
him there.
"This derision opens up a whole no? ?
line of BVOfX-SS. It recognizes the
right of the woman to make a contract
with her husband, rather than compel?
ling her to ,-ubmit to the common la..
ruling.
"A- foi ?-qua! euardiansh.p, although
