CRUELTY OF A FATHER'POXTSMOUTH DID WELL'ONLY NOW TO RECEIVE TOWARDS HIS DAU GHTER TOLD IN JUVENILE COURT. Magistrate Imposed Fine of $10 And Costs on, Aecused--=Girl Was Kick- ed and Had to Undergo Treatment at Hotel Dieu The story of the cruelty of a fa-| ther towards his daughter, under fourteen vears of age, was unfolded in the Juvenile Court before Magis- trate Farrell on Thursday morning, anid after the evidence had been ta- ken the Magistrate imposed a fine of $10 and costs, with one month in jail, About 6 o'clock on Tuesday even- ing last the phone message from a citizen tated that a man was "murdering his daughter." Constable Jenkins responded to the call, and he found the girl in question lying on the side- walk near her home in an almost wn- conscious state' Her story was that her father and mother had been drinking, and that they 'her by kicking her. {. The girl was removed to the Hotel Dieu, and was attended by Dr. W. A McCarthy. Constable Jenkins notified W. H. Wyllie, Inspector of the Children's Aid Society, and the latter undertook to investigate the case, and as a re- sult of his investigation, the father of the girl was summoned to appear in the Juvenile Court to answer to a charge of ill-treating his daughter. The evidence of Constable Jenkins and Mr. Wyllie showed that the fa- ther and mother had been drinking, and that the girl had prepared supver for them. The father and mother did not take to the menu provided, and assaulted the girl, kicking her and otherwise ill-using her. The father 'stoutly denied charge, stating that he had simply given the girl "a box on the ears," as he termed it, had been told to do. who "It is a pretty hard thing if a man has not the privilege of correcting his children in his own house," accused stated to the Court. However, the Magisuute was of the opinion that in this case it was not one of a parent endeavoring to correct his child, but of assault. The father showed every sign of having been drinking when he stood {up to answer to the charge, but when asked if he had been drinking he said 'no.' T= girl, a sweet-faced, looking miss, was the object of much pity as the story of the actions of her parents were related, but, strange to say, she held no spite against her fa- ther and mother, but, on the other (hand, declared, though she was not i sworn, that her father and mother { had only given her punishment which {she deserved for having disobeyed | them. She was given over into the | custody of Mr. Wyllie, pending a final settlement of the case, and as she was led away she cried bitterly, de- claring that she.wanted to go home to her mother. It is just a question {as to whether she will be allowed to {remain at home, as the Children's | aia Society contends that it is not {a fit and proper place for her to re- | main, and this is a matter that the Magistrate will now consider. | } SPE FPP EPI ET b WAR SOUVENIRS.
