The ease wee scasewbat singular. A young woman named
Harriet Odell nailiated a bastard child upon the de-
fendant, and obtained an order of 2s. per week. She died,
however when the child was only three months old, and it
was afawards kept by her eider, the wife of Atkins, to
whom the defendant paid the money in the same way as if
the mother had been alive. The child was now four years
of age. and the defendant eared paying the order some
weeks ago. upon which Mr. Ingham appointed Atkins the
guardian of the child, and the present proceedings were for
the recovery of 2fe. sneers under the original order.
The defendant did not dispute the amount, but said he
wished to take the child home and support it.
Mr. Dayman said the law would not allow him. The
complainant now held the same position as the mother.
The defendant said be was the owner of the child, and be
tb ht that he was justly entitled to it. Ile expreseed
his determinstion not to pay the complainant any money.
Mr. Dayman said that if he did not comply with the order
be would be sent to prison, and every time he came out be
would be liable to further imprisonmeot, and so he would be
oontinually in prison until the child was thirteen years of
Me.
The defendant said that if be was east to prison his
worship would have to support his wife.
Mr. Nyman told him that she would have to go to the
workhouse.

The wife, who sat behind her hustetwl, interrupted the
proorediags, end upon Taylor, the officer, requesting her to
leave the court, she refused, and the defendant made use of
some throats to him in came he touched her. The magistrate
ordered be to be removed, and a scene then ensued. She
dung to bar husband, who also offered resiatenos, and the
officers bad some trouble in dragging her away, and taking
her out of owart.

Mr. Dayrnan then made an order upon the defendant for
the payment of 26.. He did not order any costa, with the
exception of 2a. for the summons, as it was the twat time
the defendant had been summoned and had made a natural
mistake in the law.

The defendant refused to Fay the moner, and haring
Mated that he had no goods upon which a distress warrant
could be Weed,
Mr. Dayman committed him, in default, to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
