LONDON, March 19. “Daughters very rarely treat their mothers as honestly as sons do, observed Judge Allsebrook during the hearing of a house possession case at Kendal (Westmorland) county court yesterday. The tenant, a widow, had stated that her son of 16 earned 8/9 a week and gave it all to her. The daughter ot IS earned a guinea a week, gave up 12/- and clothed herself. Judge Allsebrook, making an order to be suspended so long as defendant paid the rent and 6d a week off arrears, said that the daughter could give the mother three-quarters of her pocket money. “fi’liere is no reason why she should not give you more than she does," he said to the mother.
