A STRANGE CASE.
PRESENTING UNUSUAL FEATURES. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.} INVERCAJRGILL, Last Night. A case presenting unusual features came before Mr Cruicksliank, S.M.„ in which Fred. R. 'Bowden was .sued by the police for the maintenance of a child named Cyril Bowden,, now in an industrial school. It appears that Jjovvaen married a woman who had an illegitimate daughter who is now 2$ years old. This girl, in turn, had an illegitimate child, for whose maintenance Bowden was now being sued. The Magistrate said that tinder one part Qf 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 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 coinr plaint was therefore dismissed.
