Mr Charles also says that the child’s mother is, in his opinion, the only proper guardian for the child at present, and that any imputations on her character while in Wanganui are cruel and unfounded. He says tbe boy has not been legally adopted by Mr Sparks. It should be stated on the other haad, that the boy is now with Mr and Mrs Sparks, who are much attached to him. There is a prospect that the parties may agree amicably to have the boy legally adopted.
