Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the D'hauteville Case, 1840 Your petitioner further suggests, that a separation of his child from its mother can only be rendered necessary by her determination in no event to return to him. That, as his wife and the mother of his child, she has been even in her errors cherished and beloved; and as his wife and the mother of his child she will yet be welcome to the home she has so long deserted. He is advised that the laws afford w'mode by which his wife, if unwilling to return, can be restored to him. Were such remedy within his reach, he might, were he childless, hesitate to resort to it; but he could not and would not hesitate one moment, if such remedy existed, and only by having recourse to it he could recover his son and only child. He respectfully renews the suggestion, that the respondent has no reason to urge the hardship of a measure which her voluntary acts alone render necessary. His child's best interests, which your Honours are bound to regard, as well as the indefeasible right of a parent, will be surely promoted by the happy re-union of its parents; and he again suggests, that the restoration to him of his child may be the means, through the affection which is active in every mo ther's bosom, of bringing back his misguided wife to her duty. Your petitioner is advised, that in order to exercise your discretion as to the disposition of the child, your Honours will examine into the conduct of your petitioner and the respondent, during their short mar ried life, and into the alleged causes of their separation. That investi gation your petitioner earnestly solicits and freely profi'ers, in any mode and to any extent that your Honours may deem desirable. He denies utterly and unreservedly any knowledge of just cause for separation, and any consciousness on his part of any matter or design other than an affectionate husband should conceive. Nor is he aware, nor has he ever been aware, of any reason, other than such as arises from the course his misguided wife has by unhappy counsels been led to pursue, which could exist for the 'interruption of their peace and comfort. He is anxious and especially desirous to submit to your Honours, in order the better to enable you to judge what will be for the best interests of the child, all the correspondence between himself, his wife, her parents.
