Stran 1013 - But it rests upon similar ground as the right to correct a child or a servant, and the chastisement must not exceed the limits of a moderate correction. And though courts are bound, with a view to the maintenance of necessary order and decorum in schools, to look with all reasonable indulgence upon the exercise of this right, yet, whenever the correction, as confessed by the pleadings, or as proved on trial, shall appear to have been clearly excessive and cruel, it must be judged illegal.
Stran 934 - As there is no consideration, the gift may be revoked at any time before the child has acted thereon. In other words, the same principle applies to this as to any other gift — it is not binding on the donor until acceptance. 32.
