Sin, — I was much surprised that in your Wednesday^ issue you did not comment on the firm stand which our Avorthy 13. M. has taken re affiliation- cases ; although, perhaps those connected with the defendant may consider that he is too harshly treated ;yet I believe the majority of the parents in this district will applnudthe recent decision. Too Ion? has it been allowed that the seducer escapesscot free, and is sometimes thousrhtmoro highly of by somein consequence °f his lady killing: abilities, whilst his poor frail victim suffers all the pain and shame ; theirreputation being blasted for life, and no chance being given them to reco-ver theironce good name ; but a few examples like? Clarkes will no donbt shew these youngsparks that they are likely to suffer something as well as their victims. I am, etc y Paterfamilia. Te Aroha, April 18th, 1889.
