FALSE DECLARATION
YOUNG COUPLE’S ROMANCE HUSBAND FINED £lO A young couple’s romance and marriage was mentioned in the SupremeCourt today when husband and wife, Harold Robert Crisp, 2S, and Mary Crisp, 18, were sentenced by Mr. Justice Smith for making, aud causing to be made, a false declaration under the Marriage Act. The pair was not represented by counsel and had nothing to say. “Apparently the girl's parents refused to consent to the marriage,” remarked ills Honour. He considered the offence was becoming too common. and, therefore, declined to adopt the usual course of admitting the husband to probation. The proper course for every person under age, where consent is refused by the parents, is to apply to the court,” said his Honour. The husband was fined £lO, to be paid in a month, with the alternative of spending a similar period in gaol, and the wife was placed on probation for 12 months.
