The People of the State of New York ex rel. William Linton, Respondent, v. Margaret Drumm Linton, Appellant.

Headnote

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, entered in the Monroe county clerk’s office May 7, 1918, sustaining a writ of habeas corpus granted to the relator and awarding him the custody of the child Margaret Linton, twelve years old.

The order appealed from herein is reversed, without costs, and the writ dismissed. It seems to this court that the said infant’s

welfare will be promoted by keeping her in the Academy of the Sacred Heart, at Rochester, N. Y., where she now is, until she has complet d her course there. We understand that arrangements have been made so that she can be educated in that school. Should that arrangement not be carried out, the father of the said infant could, of course, sue out another writ. The order herein should provide that the father and brothers of the said infant may visit her at any reasonable time that they may desire. All concurred. Order reversed and writ dismissed, without costs.
