PARENT, BUT NOT FATHER.
A UNIQUE CASE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Invercargill, Last Night. A case presenting 1 unusual features came before Mr. Cruickshank, S.M., in wliicli Fred. R. Bowden was sued by the police for tlie maintenance of a cbild named Cyril Bowden, now in the Industrial School. It appears that Bowden married a woman who had an illegitimate daughter, who is now 23 years old. This girl in turn had an illegitimate child, for whose maintenance Bowden was now being sued. The Magistrate said that under one part of the. Destitute Persons' Act the defendant was the parent of Cyril Bowden's mother. If he had been the father of Cyril Bowden's mother he would have i been liable, but it did not follow that | because he was the parent he was also the father. The Act could not be extended to include the illegitimate children of his wife's illegitimate children. The complaint was. therefore, dismissed.
