A CURIOUS AFFILIATION CASE.—James Larew, a
young man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged
with refusing to pay the sum of 203., being eight
weeks' arrears upon an order of affiliation made
upon him to support an illegitimate child of which
he was declared to be the father.
Elizabeth Ward said the prisoner had appeared
before the magistrates on several warrants, and
would not pay 2s. 6d. per week for his child. There
were now eight weeks' money due to her.
Stubbings, 111 H, au officer of the court, said
the prisoner lutd been in prison three times for non•

payment of arrears, and that hewas a wharf labourer,
respectably connected, who would not make an
effort to pay the money. There was another sum-
mons against the prisoner on account of another
child, which was to be heard on Monday next.
Mr. Paget--A child by another woman.
Stubbings—No, sir, by the same woman.
The complainant said her eldest child, for the
maintenance of which an order for the payment of
2s. 6d. had bee❑ made, was three years old. The
other, a girl, which had not been affiliated, was 15
months old.

Mr. PagaL-And the complainant is the father
of both children ?

The cbmplainant—Ys, sir.
The prisiner--I douUt it. The children arc no•
mine.

The complainant—Why he lived with me for
years, and after I had become the mother of two
children he abandoned me.

The prisoner —I can't afford to pay half-a-crow
per week, and if she swears the other chill to nre i
will be ss. per week, and I shall be worse off tha

ever.

Mr. Paget said the prisoner would be in gaol
next Monday, and the complainant could have
another summons. He sentenced the prisoner to
be imprisoned for one month, without hard labour.

AT,

The business transacted to-day was not of a particularly
stirring description, save the movements with regard to
Hermit, who retired to 20 to 1, yet the "recluse" still had
friends, despite all rumours. The two favourites retained
their position, both being backed for good money, while
Dragon was bat nominally', at 100 to 8, which was the
highest 'mice obtainable. Both Amburgh and Roquefort,
of the outside division, were in good demand, forty fifties
being kindly accepted about the former, while Mr. Saville's
colt was backed to win over £l,OOO, at varying prices.
The Somerset shire Stakes was mentioned, the following
