At Law over the Child: The mother a seven-year-old girl, Mrs. Mary Isobel Pynsent, The Grange, Datchet, Backs, has been to the Court of Appeal to seek the reversal of order of Justice Bargrave Deane giving the custody of her daughter to the father, Mr. Robert Burton Pynsent, of St. Anne’s-rd., Eastbourne. — Mr. Marshall Hall, K.C., who appeared for Mrs. Pynsent, stated that she married in 1906, and had three children. The couple lived unhappily together, until last April. Mrs. Pynsent left the house and went back her mother Datchet. She had proceedings for judicial separations pending, but Justice Bargrave Deane had given the child Joan, who is at school in Eastbourne, to the father. This order, counsel submitted, ought not to have been made, seeing that Mrs. Pynsent was perfectly qualified and had the means to look over the child. Mr. Inskip, K.C., for the husband, urged that the order was justified, and offered an undertaking that the child should not be sent to her paternal grandmother at Bexhill. The Court declined to annul the order, holding that it was made discretionally by the judge on right principles, but directed that the first half of the child’s vacation should be spent with the mother and the second half with the father. The parties were ordered to pay their own costs.
