But this is to be limited only to the effects of law and external courts and trials of right, or external actions of injury.

This is also to be limited to an intercourse with extraneous persons, and is not true in actions between the son and a conjunct person to him. And if the injury be done by a wife, or a spouse, or a freedman, or a person endeared and obliged by the son, the father cannot... Jeremy Taylor, Books, History, The Whole Works Of The Right Rev.
