MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Jan. 7

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge.)
DAYIS V. AN ORDER OF D. JARDINE, Esq.
This was an appeal by Samuel Davis, a salesman
in Covent-garden Market, against an order made at
the Bow-street Police-court, adjuding him to be the
putative father of an illegitimate child of Jessie Ann
Addison.

Mr. Parry appeared for the appellant, Mr. Payne
for the respondent.
It appeared that on the 30th of March, 1847, the
respondent was delivered of a child, of which she
stated the appellant was the father. They lived to-
gether afterwards, and he continued to allow her a
sum weekly for the support of the child down to
September, 1851. There was abundant corroborative
evidence as to the paternity, but a question of consi-
derable importance arose as to whether, under the 2d
section of the 7th and Bth Viet., c. 101, it was not
absolutely requisite that there should be evidence to
corroborate the assertion of the mother, that the ap-
pellant had paid money for the child within twelve
months after its birth, the summons not being taken
out within that period.
The Learned JUDGE, after hearing Mr. Parry and
without calling on Mr. Payne on the other side, held
that the intention of the Act was not that there should
be corroborative evidence of the payment of the mo-
ney within the twelve months in cases where the
order was not applied for until after the expiration of
that period, and where, as in the present case, there
was ample evidence corroborative of the assertion that
the appellant was the father of the child ; and he
should therefore confirm the order.
Order confirmed, with V. costs.
