IN application to he made to force parent TO s,p-
rort his children, hut the application above wus
unusual, and fts heartng atttacteI considerable
| attention. It appeared from the evidence
that the old gentleman had no tueans
Of support, but had THREE sons-'
| ticoTcs, Andrew, ind John-wflo ftad refllsrd
! to DO anything for him. md had virtually cast
him out, while amply nblu to sustain htnl and
| make him comfortable tn Ills declining years.
Judge I.oonlls ordered TINT the son EeorRo be
nAstsscd ~ per week. anl Andrew md John
| $l.50 each. for his support, atlA appointed
Thomas Jones, his hrutl,er, eustudtan nf him
anil to receive the money. etc., alWl further Envo
nos!ve that unless the ordrr was obeyed the SONS
would be arrested and dealt with fur contempt.
This Is the first case Of tho kind that ever oe'
cured tn this cnunty. SO far US the rccords
! show. and the or1er VAS made under what IL
known as the Pauper act.
