MISCEI/LANEOTJS. Matthew Dickson (17), on two charges of theft was remanded till Friday. MAINTENANCE.

The husband, Albert Clark, said his wages were £4 10/ a week, but that he could not offer more than 30/ a week. The magistrate remarked that it was ridiculous to expect a woman and three children to live on 25/ a week, and he increased the order to £2 a week.
