Richmond Mother Seeks Divorce Over Children's Religious Upbringing
By marrying a Catholic husband, a Baptist lady in Richmond has brought trouble upon herself. Against her protest, the father had the children baptized according to the rites of his church, and more recently he took them away from home and gave them into the charge of the Sisters in an orphan asylum. On application to the chancellor, however, the children were restored to the mother, and she now seeks a divorce from her husband. A writer from Richmond states that the case has created no little excitement on account of its semi-religious aspects, and that its decision may settle some important marital rights, and shed light on the extent of a husband's authority to enforce the observance of his own church on the children of a protesting mother.
