WOOTTON PETTY SESSIONS - Thursday.
Before the Hon. E. Ponsonby and Captain Dashwood.
James Pratley, shepherd, Stonesfield, was summoned by Emma Howes, single woman, of that village, to show cause why he should not contribute towards the support of her illegitimate child, of which he was alleged to be the father. Defendant appeared and disputed the paternity of the child, but the Bench, after hearing the evidence adduced in support of the allegation, made an order upon defendant for payment of 1s. 6d. per week until the child attained the age of 14 years, and 12s. 6d. costs. |
