REFUSING TO SUPPORT A FATHER.--A stout man
named Lusty,, whose name and figure were very appro-
priate, appeared to a summons which charged him with re-
fusing to support his aged father, and leaving him charge-
able to the parish of St. Anne, Limehouse, in the Stepney
Union. •

Mr. Walter, vestry clerk of Limehouse, on the part of
the parish, said the defendant's father had been maintained
in the unionhouse for 10 or 11 years, and the son, who was
in tolerably good circumstances, had not contributed any-
thing towards his father's maintenance during the whole
of that time. The defendant was a marine store dealer,
and entered as the owner of some houses in Limehouse
parish.

Mr. George Dorringhara, beadle of Limehouse parish,
said the defendant was rated for one house, of which he was
owner in Frederick-street at £l6 per annum, and two
houses in North-street at £lO each. The defendant was
the owner of the three houses.

The defendant, in reply, pleaded great poverty, and said
he had not enough to live upon and support his own family.
Mr. Selfe—What, with three houses and a marine store
shop, Mr. Lusty.

The defendant--Well, I go about buying and selling.
I may walk about a year or more on a stretch before I can
get a farthing.

Mr. Walter—The expense of the old man's maintenance
has cost the parish of Limehouse since 1851, upwards of
£lll.

Mr. Selfe—l have no power to order that. What is the
expense of maintaining the old man weekly ?
Mr. Walter—Why, ss. per week, sir.
Mr. Selfe—Now, Mr. Lusty, jun., you ought to pay ss.
per week.

The defendant—l may walk about a year at a stretch
and Rot earn anything. You may as well crash me at
once.

Mr. Selfe—What are you willing to pay ?
Defendant—Why, hail that, or less.
The defendant's father, a very old man in the workhouse
garb, here said that 2s. 6d. per week would pay for what
he could eat and drink in the workhouse. He could only
eat half that was given to him.
Mr. Walter—You have too much ?
The old man—Yes, of the sort. I can't eat what they
give me. Old and young are fed alike.
Mr. Selfe—Well, Mr. Lusty the younger, you must pay
3s. per week.

The defendant—Make it half-a-crown.
Mr. Selfe—No; I like even money. Pay 3s. per week to
the parish.
