Case 326

father of the child. She appears to have mentioned its existence to Mr. S. before marriage, and he does not appear to have objected then; but 2 years ago he began a course of cruel treatment. He also ill treats his own two children when in drink, a frequent occurrence. He neglects his business. The mother is said to drink also: the home and children are neglected & dirty, and they are much in debt, and receive a bad character from the neighbours. The mother's relations will pay 3/- a week for the boy in a Home. The Committee think him a case for the Homes."
