Exciting Scene in Balfimo:
PLCCK V8. LAW — 4 CONTXLT OVEB A CHILD.
Some time since the Baltimore papers no
ticed a carious case, in which a man named
James E. Strong sought to recover his child
from Mrs. Ellen Porter. It was alleged by
those resisting bis claim that he had abandon
ed the mother, who died of want in a few
months afterwards, and that then the dangh-
ter of the claimant, only about sixteen years
old, took the child, her little brother, now be
tween three and lour years old, in her care.
She worked for low wages in a factory atWood-
berry, and from her scanty earning sup
ported herself and the child at the house
of her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Porter. The girl
(Emma C. Strong), evinced rare devotion for
the child, and cared for it with noble, self-
sacrificing devotion. The father claims he
was not allowed to go to Mrs. Porter's to 6ee
the child, and he therefore got out a wiit of
habeas corpus to regain possesion of it. The
aunt and daughter refused to give up the boy,
a bright little fellow, who was averse to going
to his father. Judge Pinkney postponed as
long as he could the adjudication of the case,
m hope that some compromise might be
tffected. but this could not be done, and
on last Saturday afternoon there was a
hearing. The court was well filled, many
ladies being present. The testimony was j juriva ciiatuinoogaZ 4:28 r. x.

drinking or immoral man, but he had not
orovided for his family, he bad left his wife
before her death, and he had done nothing
for the little boy, that for five or six months
the girl had supported and cared for. He
slaims that now he can support the child, and
he proposes to give it to the care of an uncle
of the boy who has no children, and promises
to do well by the little fellow. There seems
to be no legal reason why the father should
not reclaim his child, and yet the heart of ev
ery one present considered it a cruel hardship.
Judge Pinkney, in giving his decision,
made most eloquent remarks, in which he j
paid the highest compliments to the noble-.
hearted girl who Lad been so true and so self-
sacrificing. He admitted the hardships of the
case, bat with eyes tilled with tears, he bowed
to the law, and decided that the father must
have tbe child. The girl sat apparent^
stunned beside her brother, the aunt and other
female friends a few feet distant, when tbe
father and some of his relations advanced in
the crowd to take the boy. The little fellow
screamed wildly not to let them take him.
This roused the girl, and she rose like a lion
ess, defending her vonog, and, with eyes
flashing and arms raised, she ordered them to
stand off, declaring that she whuld die before
the boy should be taken from her.
She cried that the ghost of her poor starved
mother would haunt her if she gave him up,
and threatened even to kill her father rather
than let him have the boy. Never before was
there such a scene of excitement in a court
room. The crowd sympathized with the girl,
the Judge rapped for order, but no one beard
it. The baliffs tried to do their duty, bat, for
some time, there was pushing, and struggling
and threatening over the little boy, who never |
for a moment intermitted screaming at top of i
his voice. At last the daughter was seized j operation und
and held. The screaming child was taken ! tor * 1J 431 kiEd * of
by the father, and given to his cousin,
a stout fellow, twenty-eight or thirty years
of age, named J. Wesley String, w ho carried
him out of the court room. In the hall the
child's hat fell off, and this caused a delay,
so that, although the girl was held for three
minutes after the child had been carried off
by the father, she hurried out after the child
and succeeded in overtaking him. The little
fellow struggled violently, and gave a good
deal of trouble to the man who carried him,
but they had got as far as directly opposite
the office of Squire Myers, on St. Paul street,
when the girl and her friends gathered around
them, and a curious street scene occurred.
The father was struck and thrust aside, and
the man who carried the boy was knocked
down and bis coat torn almost from him.
An effort was made to keep possession o!
tbe boy lor the lather by putting him in the
window of Mr. Davis' law office; but a young
fellow, who is said to have been a cousin to
the girl, jerked the boy out of the window
and started on a run w ith him. Turning the
corner he ran as fast as he could down Fay
ette street, when policeman No. 103 gave
chase, as also did a great crowd of screaming
women, curious spectators, court bailiffs,
black and white. The young fellow who had
the boy made fast time, but the policeman,
without knowing exactly what it was all
about, made desperate efforts to catch him,
and was within twenty feet of doing so when
