THE EVIL OF MIXED MARRIAGES.
The Court of Appeal gave judgment on Saturday in the case of the children of Mr and Mrs Agar-Ellis. The father is a Protestant and the mother a Roman Catholic, and the question was whether a promise made to Mrs Agar-Ellis before her marriage that the children of the marriage should be brought up as Roman Catholics could be retracted by the husband. Vice-Chancellor Malms decided that the children should be educated in the doctrines of the Church of England, and against this decision JWrs Agar-Ellis appealed. Their Lordships' decision was that the husband's ante-nuptial promise was not binding upon him, that the whole responsibility of the children's education should be thrown upon the father, and that no order should be made as to the religion in which they should be brought up.
