Spanish Court Orders Daughter’s Return

It is a refreshing instance of brave justice for the High Court of Spain to reverse the decisions of the lower courts, and order the restoration of Señora Ubao to her mother. The daughter was induced by the Jesuits to take the veil without the consent of the parents, and the mother brought action to compel the order to give up the daughter. The report is that much of the disorder in Madrid has been because of this case. The action of the High Court may be due to public opinion. It is devoutly to be wished that it is a pure act of justice.
