PERSISTENT POSTMAN
AFFECTIONS OF SQUIRE’S DAUGHTER SOUGHT • N.Z.P.A. Special Correspondent Rec. 9 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 12. A 30-year-old postman, Richard Harrison, who defied a court order forbidding him to trespass on the grounds of Fillongley Hall, near Coventry, the family seat of Lord Norton, was ordered to be imprisoned for contempt of court on an application being lodged by Lord Norton for the issue of a war--1 Garrison claimed that he had fallen in love with Lord Norton’s 25-year-old daughter, the Hon. Mary Adderley, and had trespassed in order to ask her to go for a walk with him. Lord Norton said that he found Harrison in his park on a number of occasions, and each time ordered him to go. Finally, Harrison walked right into the hall and knocked on the drawing room door. When his knock was not answered, he walked about the corridors of the house for 10 minutes and then departed. Lord Norton then applied for a court injunction restraining Harrison from entering his grounds, but found him a week later again trespassing. Lord Norton said that his daughter did not know Harrison and had never spoken to him.
