peareNr the purpose of requesting the Bench to
re-consider the order made by them hist week, com-
pelling him to pay 2s. 6J. rr week towards the
support of his son confined in the Wilts Reforma-
tory. He said that he bad a large family to support,
and that his eaniinge did not amount to more than
sediment to allow 2m. per head each for their main.
teciance. After due deliberation, Mr. Hussey said
that the order made last work appeared to have been
made upon improper information as to his Ciretlll2-
11W.0011, and they therefore reduced the order to Is.

reduce it to 6d. per week, but he was informed that

c ben defendant came to his room and demanded the
rent, and commenoed moulting him. He caught

over • box, and kicked him on the knee. De-
fendant's wife begged her husband not to assault an

The amount of the rent was Is. 616, and awing that

inforand Um defendant, that they considered Ibis

putting in an execution for such • small sum. He
must pay • line of ti, and amount of oosts_loa.
