No Quarter For Infants ?
LONDON, April 30. Judge Tudor Rees, heard at Brentforc) County Court, an application for possession of a flat on the grounds of nuisance, which included the tenants letting their four-year-old child make too much noise. He said: “It is a great pity that children cannot be provided with silencers like motor-cars. “Parental controls died with the Victorian era. If the father chastises a child these days for the Purpose of discipline, the chances are that he will be prosecuted for assault, although he might not be convicted. It is common law that the husband is entitled to chastise his wife.. provided the rod he uses is .pot thicker than his little finger, but if he applies the law to-day, he also might line! himself summoned for assault. ’
